The following letter was received by
ex-Mayor Cox, relative to the street rail-
way bonds:
Boston, March 2, 1898.
81 NJ. Cox, Esq, Wichita, Kansas.
MY Dear Sir:-I wired you that Heath
& Co. Of 40 Wen street, would take the
bonds Of the Wichita Railway, Light &
Power company. I have a message from
Mr.. Church this morning stating that
the matter is about closed, covering the
bonds, and that we can begin active oper-
atoms on the ground almost Immediately.
We have regretted exceedingly the delay
in getting these matters forwarded, but
will make up for lost time when we do be-
gin. All we can ask is that our friends
a Wichita will stand by US, and they viii
have no reason to regret it in any way.
yours truly,

This would indicate that the county
used the citys money and not the treas
urer and this occurred in the last two
years.
THE books also show that Sedgwick
county is annually expending an amount
largely in excess of the amount Of the
annual levy for county purposes. L am
not attempting 10 say, however, that the
county is expanding more than necessary,
but it is certainly spending more than
its own income. And finally, let me state
that of the total amount claimed by the
city from the county, over s33. 600 is the
city's beyond question, as 1t is made uD
of paving, sewer and general tax collected
but not credited, between October, 1924,
and October. 1896 Over 100 IS tho
amount claimed by the city as its share or
proportion of the profits on the delinquent
taxes collected whiting the city. and
$4,000 or nearly two-thirds Of these pen
alties and interest have been collected by
our present treasurer. VI. J. Lloyd. and
is now held by the county pending ADJUST

REQUEST HIM 10 RUN
Fifth Ward Citizens do Not Want
IcLean to Retire.

Some weeks since B. F. Mclean indi-
Gated that he desired to retire from the
city council and would not be candidate
for reelection. He gave as his reasons
that his business would hardly permit the
time and attention necessary to the po-
sition Of a conscientious and painstaking
city official. His friends in the Fifth ward
upon hearing this put their names to the
following formal request:
Hon. B. T. Mclean, City.
Dear Sir-Recognizing the ability and
fidelity with which you have discharged
services as such, and believing that the
interests of the city at large and of the
Fifth ward in particular demands your
retention in the city council, therefore,
we, the undersigned residents of the
Fifth ward, would earnestly request per-
mission to use your name as a candidate
for reelection to the city council for the
ensuing term at the election to be held

facts or by evidence is not yet finally
settled.
Mr.. Guthrie said that the claim Of the
city did not depend in any way upon the
shortage of ex-Treasurer Doran.
THE shortage of the ex-county treas
urer with Sedgwick county. according to
Expert Patterson's report, occurred in the
first two years of Treasurer Doran's term
and was county funds and not city
funds" he said. 1.-THE entire differences
between the city and county as claimed
by the city have arisen on or since Octo-
Der I, 1894.
THE mode of keeping accounts with
the city by Sedgwick county was changed
in October, 1884. and the city is making
no claim prior 10 that time.
October, 1894. being the first annual set
Element at which the city was charged
with its proportion of delinquent or un-
paid taxes. October, 1885. would be the
first date at which the county gave the
city any credit on account of redemption
and assignments of delinquent taxes and
it was in the accounts of October. 1896
that the larger part Of the erorrs were
made in the accounts with the city OF
Wichita
1.-THE examination of the accounts by the
city was commenced in August. 1896. and
that claim was filed in February. 1891
This scarcely looks like negligence.
THE county treasurer was asked for re-
ports by the city in 1894 and 1896. but did
not make them and even had he made
them. as shown by mis- ledger accounts,
they would not have been correct, as his
ledger accounts did not show the facts as
shown by the other records of the Office
consequently an examination by the city
was necessary and was commenced with
in year from the time most Of the errors
commenced to occur. I can hardly see
how this can be called negligence.
'The city officials delayed pushing their
claim in the spring of 1897 with the under
standing that the county commissioners
were willing to do what was right as soon
as they had satisfied themselves that the
claim was right and proper, and that any
questions of law, together with the facts,
were to be submitted to the court, by
agreement, in a friendly proceeding for
decision.
was not in writing, there were plenty Of
witnesses to it.
Expert Patterson has filed his report
long since. The retiring member Of the
board of county commissioners admitted
to me, and others, that this report prac-
tically admitted the claims Of the city.
I have good reason to know that it is more
in favor Of the city than the city's claim
by quite an amount. The commissioners
however, refuse, under advice Of the
county attorney, to allow it to be made
public.
In support of my statement that the
ex-treasurers shortage was county funds
and not city funds, I refer you to the
published statement of Mr.. Patterson in
the Eagle of November, %. 1887. This
statement shows:
