Tuesday night Mr.. r. T. Cook, the

referred to the light committee. tap
pears, however, that according to Mr..
Cooks figures the City Treasurer was
charged with over $500 more than
that officer had to the credit OF the gas
orks. Other items in the report show
a deficiency OF about $500 in all. Mr..
Cook has not been in his Office since
Tuesday and the safe is locked, but his
friends claim that the or ors are techni-

crepancy the amount will be made
good. 1t is said that Mr.. Cook is sick
in Washington and will return in day
or two and straighten out the affairs OF
his office. His many friends in this
city hope this may be the case.
