The committee on streets, TO which was
referred an ordinance authorizing the ex-
psnditure of 81. 025 for the replanSing oil
West street from Madison to University

reason that if that part of the city is now
improved the whole cost falls upon the

advisable that the city should make only
the necessary repairs on West street until
the tide land is sold to private owners,

the abutting property owners. The report
was adopted.

and He Then Resigns.
At meeting of Company ID. First regl-
ment. n. G. W, held at the Armory last
night, the past differences between the
company and Capt. Elmer K Brady were
very amicsbly adjusted. The investigs-
ton committee made aNfuli report of the
recent charges made against the captain
and fully exonerated hum IN every respect.
The company accepted the report and all
members present fully thirty IN number,
signed it. Capt. Brady then rendered his
resignation. which was accepted. The
report in full is as follows:
SEATTLE Wash. Sept. IL, 1894
eve, your committee on financial in
vestigation. beg leave TO report that after n
thorough investigation into the financial
condition of Company ID. First regiment
y. G. W, We find that said company's
finances are in perfect condition and have
been in such condition ever since Capt.
Elmer X. Brady took charge of the COM
pany, so far as his personal account Is con-
cerned. and at no time do We find that he
was short In any of his accounts in any
sum, nor is he short any sum at the present
time.
I'VE further find that Capt. Brady never
embezzled any of the company's money at
any time, and that the reports TO that ef-
feet are false and malicious IN every re-
spect and particular.
I'VE find also that the article published
in the Daily Telegraph on the 3ist day of
July, 1891, 10 the effect that Capt. Brady
was accused of appropriating the sum of
$50 of the company's money is utterly
IA Sc and without foundation. The state
ment' that he was accused and had COM
mitied a forgery is malicious lie. and the
party who authorized it did so with a ma
hcous intent and without any authority
from the committee and without authority
from the company.
I'VE. the committee, do hereby exoner-
ate Capt. Elmer K. Brady IN every respect
and particular from any charge of appro-
priating any of the company's money at
any time, and do further exonerate him
from any charge of forgery whatsoever
and that all public statements to the con-
trary are false in every particular.
