GAS WELL EXPENDITURES
Council Invites the Fullest In
VeStigatiOn.

At the council meeting last night DR..
Minick, chairman Of the committee which
IS to call on the police board and ask
them for an itemized statement of collec-
tons and disbursements month by month,
said that the county central committee
OF the Populist party of Sedgwick county
had appointed a committee Of three to
investigate the gas well expenditures, and
he moved that the city clerk be authorized
TO go over the books, make a full, detailed
account OF all the money expended and
the same be published in the Eagle over
official seal and oath Of the clerk. This,
he said, would stop all talk and help the
investigation. which the council courted.
Mclean moved TO amend by publishing
invitations to the public in general Of
those who were interested, and the Pop
committee in particular, to go to the
clerks office, where they would be shown
every item Of the expenditures. Council
man Smith thought this would be the bet
ter way on account Of the expense, and it
would also forestan any claim Of a doc
tored report.
The amendment was carried.
The public now has the urgent invita-
ton Of the council TO visit the clerks office
and investigate the gas well expenditures.
or Councilman Smith will show any party
or the Pop committee the wei itself
An ordinance was passed opening a
street along the east side Of Griswold
park north from Central avenue to River

A petition Of six names of resident prop
erty owners was submitted asking the

reality it was TO have the plan to build
the ball park on Emporia blocked. The
council after discussion, ordered the
street re-opened and now the baseball
park viii have to be moved. w. II. Ad
dington addressed the council upon the
subject and said that last night Mr.. Alex
ander had seen him and that the matter
would be amicably settled.
James Allison, Whitney Tucker and W.
B. Mead were appointed a committee to
condemn the property to be used as new
street along the east side Of Griswold.
A number Of bills were put in and re-
ferred to committees.
The city board Of health recommended
that an ordinance be passed prohibiting
the keeping or raising or feeding Of hogs
anywhere whiting the city limits. This
was referred to the health committee with
instructions to confer with the board Of
health and name the boundaries within
which there should be no hogs kept.
