THE Cry WEGGHSIAsTER In violation
Of his plain duty, Burton III. Cook, our
Democratic city weighmaster, has been
neglecting to hand in 10 the Council month
ly reports of his receipts. At Monday S
meeting of the Council he made a report
Governing several months, showing his
dues 10 the city to be $3.50, whereas he
had paid 10 the collector only $3.50, thus
holding back balance of 500 which be-
longs to the city and which ought to have
been promptly paid over to the collector.
The excuse Mr.. Cook makes is that he
has used the money TO buy produce for
other people aud that it has not been re-
paid him yet. Mr.. Cook ought to know
that he has no business TO speculate with
the city's money, either for his own or
other peoples benefit The Mayor there
fore very properly directed Alderman
Stengel, Of the committee on markets, to
call on Mr. Cook for the money and if ii
is not promptly paid, to notify his bonds.

This is the frat intimation we have had
that Burt Cook is a defaulter, and we
learn, on inquiry, that it was Alderman
Phillips, Democrat, who insisted, in the
Council, that he should be required to set
tie his account. Although Republican
county Treasurers in this county have,
without rebuke from their side, speculated
with the peoples money from time in

demned the practice-and IT equally con
dennis the action of Cook. Any man VIII
uses the peoples money for his private
purposes should be at once removed from
Office and his bondsmen prosecuted.

Not quite so bad as that. We have a
very decent public hall which will ac-
commodate 800 to 1000 people-and it
might be so improved as to answer the
wants of the public for some years to come.
The people, however, would prefer nice

plenty of light and air can be had-one
which will seat ten or twelve hundred
people, and in which, on an emergency, IF
teen hundred can be packed Such a
house, in a business location, with stores
under it, might pay. The Burtis is too
large, too expensive, and it costs too much
money TO warm and light it. If the Rock

citizen, would purchase such corner and
build bank and stores, or stores alone, on
