The city council met in adjourned
session Friday evening to receive the
report of the committee appointed TO
examine the accounts and audit the
books of Frank T. Woods. the retiring
city treasurer, and also to receive the
final report of the overseer of the Riv-
erside addition dyke. The committee
reported that the work of auditing the
treasurer's books had not been COM
pleted and was given until the regular
monthly meeting in May to report
City Treasurer Woods was present and
was granted permission to address the
council. He showed evidences OF sup
pressed rage and stated that he In
vited the fullest investigation OF his
books and accounts, but thought the
council was doing him an injustice by
consuming two or three weeks in the
work. He intimated that City Clerk
Dawson. one of the gentlemen en-
ployed by the committee TO audit the
books, had circulated a story 10 the
effect that the accounts were not
right. Mr.. Dawson denied the accusa-
tion and said: "You are a - -
liar" Mayor Beley promptly called
the city clerk down and reminded him
that he would have to confine himself
to parliamentary language. The mayor
said: "Mr. Woods has the floor, hav-
ing been granted permission TO ad-
dress this body. and you will have to
keep still until he gets through" 1t
looked as though the treasurer and
clerk would come to blows before the
thing was over, but better counsel pre-
vailed and the -enactment--of a dis
graceful scene was avoided. The coun-
Gil then proceeded with the business
on hand and got through in a few
minutes. After the report OF the dyke
overseer was read the mayor. upon
motion. appointed Aldermen Gordon
and Rowe as a committee to inspect
the dyke and report at the next reg
ular meeting. The meeting then ad-
journed.
City Clerk Dawson was seen yester-
day and stated to the Standards cor
respondent that the work OF auditing
the treasurer's accounts had been
completed and everything was found
all right.
