A GRAVE scandal has just brought to light in con- nection with the Corporsilon of the City of Lon- den. A special committee was some weeks ago appulated to ir gaire Into eertain alleged cases of bribery in reference to what is now known AS the Public Health Department, but what war formerly the Commission of Sewers. The char. ges were that certain officers of the Commission had for many years been in the habit of secely. ing bribes from contractors. The Committee found that the charges ware of sa serious a nature that they suspended to officers, some of whom had been in their service for many years. Further pubilelty will no doubt be given to the matter at the next meeting of the Corporation although there may be an attempt to deal with the case in camera, So far no information of an qficial character bas been supplied to the Press, but it is expected that some strange disclosures will be made concerning the iction of certain City officials who are said to have been fa receipt of bribes for years past.
