The itemized statement of Auditor Teale
was nearly all day long yesterday called
into question. In the opening of Bonnie
Brae street, where the alleged excess is
stated to have been $50.l2. the real over
charge is alleged to be only $2S.S7, while
in the Hill street opening, where the al
legged overcharge is given by the auditor as
amounting to 500, the statement is made
that there was in reality no overcharge at
all.
The investigating committee made sew
eral formal written reports during the day
in the premises, not one of which appeared
to state the facts as they were later repre-
sented to exist. 1t was finally decided to
submit to the council the auditors figures
just as they had been submitted to the
committee. Colonel Shredder will on Mon
day appear before the council and chal-
lenge the correctness of Auditor Teale's
report,
