Above is report of the receipts and ex.
penditures of Fremont for the year 1852.
This report might have been made month
sooner, but was neglected. 1t is, however,
now as early as il is usually made,
We are greatly obliged BY the editors Of
the Democrat for the respectful manner in
which they call the attention of the public,
mot ours) TO this matter, but would be much
more obliged by them for the names of only
four or five of the several of our best and
most influential citizens" who have so ear
nestly requested the publication of the COM
munication signed Many Tax Payers and
especially Of those who know that "mucA con-
cersotion is aRoat," because the report has
not been made, and to the Mr.. Many Tax
Payers, we tender our sincere thanks for his
manly effort. We have no disposition to de-
ny, but to The contrary we frankly acknowl-
edge, that the public has perfect right. to
call for full and complete exhibit of the re-
ceipts and expenditures of moneys belonging
to the Corporation. 1t is not only right,
but il is the duty of the public to do this
But We wholly and utterly deny either tho
right or the duty of the editors OF the Dem
ocrat to intimate or the Mustrious Mr. Many
Tax Payers, to charge the Council of last
year, with embezzling the Corporation Funds.
Knowing who the MIR. Many Tax Payers is
his motive and objective have only to say.
that it is in perfect accordance with his na-
tire and practice.
A little reelection would have advised the
authors, that not dollar of money can be
drawn from the treasury for any purpose
whatever without an order being first allow
ed by five of the Council, or by an act Of the
most fragrant embezzlement by the Treasur-
err, MIR. Doncyson. Moreover, we know that
all the citizens who have given any atten-
ton to the matter, know very we'll what has
been done with the money, and also, that
Mr. Many Tax Payers, or any other citizen.
has the full privilege at any moment of in
specting the Books of the Treasurer and Re-
corder, and they would then see that neither
the Mayor nor Council have charged one
cent for their services. The Recorder and
Marshal have always been paid their SER
vices consuming much of their time.
We say, 60 on, and make all you can out
of your friendly effort and If you cannot ae-
quirc public esteem for yourselves. see il you
cannot bring somebody else into disreputs.
twill be seen, that several of the above ord
ers we're paid to B. j. Bartlett the late May
or In all of said instances said orders were
given for cash by him before paid out for the
Corporation.
