FRESH DISCLOSURES.
[press association.]
Sydney, March 29. The Evening News states that the enquiry made by the municipal authorities into the alleged frauds shows that there has been a triple system of plundering carried on for upwards of twenty years. Large numbers of weights, parcels, and articles supplied by contractors have been altered. The amount of the fraud is likely to swell to £100,000. Legal advice is now being taken as to the prosecution of several officers, and it is mentioned that the prosecution may extend to circles little suspected. Sydney, March 30. The books and vouchers which were missing from the Municipal offices have been discovered in the storeroom of the Town Hall.
