Information Difficult.

The grand jury Is making an investi-
cation of accounts in the city hall Of
fees. During the past few days the ex-
perts in the employ of the grand jury
have been quietly working on the books
of City Auditor Teale. and the nature Of
their forthcoming report to the inquisi-
torial body is foreshadowed in one para
graph of the finance committees recon-
nendations to the city council, made
yesterday. This significant paragraph
reads:
ITO the extreme surprise of your COM
mittee we have just learned that the
books in the auditors office have not
been properly posted and entered for
considerable period of time Your COM
mittee therefore recommends that the
city auditor be at once instructed to post
and enter all matters connected with his
department in the proper books, and
that your committee Will keep track of
the matter and see that this is properly
done"
Several days ago the candidate on tine

M. Sa!yer, for tax collector, bethough.
him of going to the city hall for the pur-
pose of ascertaining, if possible, how
much 1t cost the city to collect the taxes.
He was waited upon courteously
enough. but there was an apparent re-
luctance on the part of the deputy to
Mr.. Salyer's going over the office rec
ords. To his surprise he could find moth
ing that would show what the cost of
the collection to the city had been for
the past two years.
How is this?" he asked, don't you
keep an account of so important an item
as this?"
NO" was the reply, 1--WE have kept
no record of it for the last two years"
The matter was brought to the atten-
ton of the grand jury, and the matter
was being kept quiet, as it was in the
nature of secret investigation, but the
recommendation let the cat out of the
bag.
