The report of the City Expert was taken
up and read before the City Trustees yes

to water rates was read Chief Water Clerk
Coffee was asked why he had not made a
quarterly report of delinquent water.

Mr.. Coffee replied that the work of his
office had been so rushing that he had not
been able to make out list, as there were
more than 1000 delinquent water takers

constituted a delinquent The quarter
would end on the 18th of July (the present
month";. but it would be some time before
all takers could be visited by the collect
ors, but most of them would pay when
called on.
Mr.. Wolf said he understood that water
rates were due in advance, and ex-Collector
Bauer replied that under that rule nearly
the whole population would be reported
delinquent.
Clerk Coffee further said there was an
ordinance in force which provided that no
warrant should be drawn in favor of any
person against the City Treasury so long as
such person was indebted to the city.
There are number of city officials. he
said, regularly drawing salaries from the
city who were far behind in their water
rates, and that the latter were with diff

Auditor Mckee said he had had no
notice of such fact
Mayor Comstock said he would like to
have the Chief Clerk submit report of

Mr.. Mclaughlin moved that that portion
relating to the collection of delinquent
city taxes be referred to the City Attorney
to report on the prospect of having weekly
reports made.

A GOOD SHOWING.
City Expert Devlin Finds the Books Gen.
orally Correct.


orally Correct.
William III. Devlin, the City Expert,
made his report to the City Trustees yester-
day for the fiscal year ending April 5, 1890.
The report is a voluminous document of
| seventy pages of typewriter manuscript,
and embraces review of the condition of
the affairs Of each city official and depart
| ment. Much of the report is devoted to
suggestions made by MIR. Devlin concern
ing the manner in which the business of
| the various offices should be conducted.
The expert found balance of 81 against
ex-Clerk of the Water Works V. j. Greg
DRY, which has been paid. During the
year Mr.. Gregory had handled $780, 77 25
| OF the citys money.
City Collector-This official g. A. Put
| nam, was found to be SO cents short after
collecting $3S,009 so on license account
and 1927 GIL IS from taxes.
Superintendent of the Cemetery-R. w.
Parker was found to have omitted an en-
try OF 81 IN one case, and to have overpaid
| the city SIS in others. He had trusted un-
dertakers for burial permits, but paid for
| them himself, and paid again when he col
| lected the money. The city owes Mr..
| Parker 50.
Harbormaster-The collections for the
year were 81, 1872 so, of which 81, 7S7 so was
paid in, leaving an error against the officer
| amounting to So.
Police Court-Out of 1854 fines i'm.
| posed, 81 023 was collected and paid over
less sS7S 90 Clerks fees.
Fire Departmental this department
! errors were found in disbursements, in ia
vor OF the city, amounting to 81 20.
District Attorney-This official is charged
| with the collection of delinquent city taxes
The sum collected was S2,537 81. Mr.. Bru-
! ners payments to the city last year having
| been more than the expert of that year
| called for, he desired the present expert to
discover the errors and ascertain the exact
| amount due before settling for this year.
| Mr.. Bruner informed the expert that when
this was done he would make the correct
| payment to the city. The expert did not
inform Mr.. BruDer until last Saturday of
the exact amount due. Mr.. Bruner then
paid the same at once into the City Treas
ury, and the expert made note of the
same in his report, showing that there was
nothing due from the District Attorney.
The expert found an error of 81 in favor
| OF Justice of the Peace Divine, and of %
cents in favor OF the city against Justice
Baker.
The books of the Funded Debt Commits
sion were found correct. The bonds in the
hands OF the Commission amount to $713,-
700, and coupons, SS29,747 90, making a
total Of 81 5A2947 so.
The expert found that in two instances
the City Auditor had drawn warrants for
small sums against certain funds, but the
Treasurer had credited the payments to
other funds. He suggested that the Au-
dltor and Treasurer balance their books
the first Monday in every quarter.

A Two-THIRDs vote is needed to-mor-
row. Every friend of street improvement
must work hard and all day to secure it.
One vote against Stands off" two votes
for. There is misapprehension in some
minds; it is a duty to turn out and re-
move it, and let those confused as to the
facts understand that this election involves
nothing but street improvement; that it
does not add 20 the old bond holders
revenue; does not relate to water works, or
income, or levees, or anything except street
improvement. low taxation, general pros
perity, the healtbfulness of the city, in
creased trade and revived industry.

REMEMBER, it is not a proposition to-
morrow to be voted on to incur at once a
debt of 100000. On the contrary, only
so many of the bonds will issue each year
as are needed to realize sum to stimulate
street improvement for the year. 1t may
happen, probably will, that the whole
100000 will never issue.

THE election tomorrow is really to de-
termine whether we will lessen the cost OF
repairing the streets. 1t costs in ten years
$3.50 900 to "do over" the streets every
spring. But if the streets are graveled
or paved permanent improvements
lin ten years the cost of repairs, judged
on the basis of the experience Of Others,
will not exceed $4,000 year, or in ten
years $4,000. Is it not clear proposition
of economy therefore, to make the invest
ment that is now asked for :?
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1890-07-08

II the election is carried in the affirm
alive on Wednesday, out of the sum we
will borrow from the future, one-fourth of
all street work will be paid from January
l, 1890, and thereafter. If it carries, all
the teams aud workers in the region will
have employment, and others too. fit is
defeated the improvement company can do
all the work that will be done. 1t is
therefore for the interest of teamsters and
men accustomed to work on streets,
graders, CURRIERS', shovelets and others to
vote yes tomorrow.

A CITIZEN has investigated and found
that it cost the city $3.50 to round up and
smooth out street to the extent of one
block, near his residence, this spring, that
winter rains had leveled and teams had
cut up. Had that block of street been
graded and graveled it probably would
not have cost So to repair it. In the face
of such facts, who can reasonably object to
a proposition for the city at large to pay
one-fourth the cost of street Improvement
in order to secure the abolition of the
dirt streets and annual ''round-ups?"
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1890-07-08

LET workingmen remember that the
way to increase the demand for labor in
the city is ito favor local Improvement. The
more street improvement there is, the
more building and general construction,
and the more money discussed among all
classes of Iabo-.
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1890-07-08

IT is rumored that teamsters will op.
pose the improvement proposition because
public-spirited company has put steam
wagon at work hauling gravel. That has
nothing whatever to do with the election
of tomorrow. The company referred to
was organized and went to work prospect
i've of the election, or of any of the propo-
sitions related to it. 1t would have en-
tered upon the hauling of gravel whether
or not an election had been ordered. But
If teamsters entertain any such foolish
idea as is reported, they are about to COM
NIT an eggregious blunder. Every foot of
street-way improved permanently, makes
more work for them in hauling for lot
grading and general private improvement.
They will also have all the more work to
do in hauling old earth from the streets
into the alleys, all of which ought to be
and will be brought to grade. Moreover,
the company cannot do one-ffth of the
work to be done if Improvement" wins
tomorrow. Unless these teamsters are
blind, they will see that whatever slim
uiates local improvement will help them.

1t will be many months before the

permanent capital for Montana. When
the time comes the people will make

Every city that has hopes will put IN
its claim at that time. In case no
aspirant gets a majority at that cleo

on the list will then fight it out Mt the
