The LEADER to-day publishes two
mild tempered communications criti-
cising the annual statement of the
city's finances published in last weeks
paper. The parts of the statement
discussed are palpably liable to the
criticisms preferred, and it hoped the
Mayor or City Clerk will furnish an
amended statement setting forth clear
ly the information our correspondents.
in common doubtless with many 9TH
ers, so much desire. The present and
permanent success of the Water Works
and Light Plant is too important to be
hazarded or even handicapped by any
serious inadvertence or misunder-
as to the management of the
enterprise. When every thing is cor
rect and clearly understood, mere cap
tious criticism, if such there be, will
fall to the ground of its own weight.
