Dodging Law Charged to Cincinnati Officials
Cincinnati officials conspired with contractors to evade the $500 competitive bid limit for city supplies. The Public Service Department bought hay, grain, stone and other materials in small lots from favored firms, totaling about $130,000 dodging the bidding law. State Inspector Waddell cites vouchers and split accounts to avoid limits, with several firms repeatedly paid for bulk hay and stone. The report requests action by Attorney General Hogan to compel compliance.
