SPECIAL SCHOOL MEETING.
North Mankato District Officers Will
Try TO Explain

The special school meeting held Mon
day at the school building in North
Mankato, to act upon the report of the
Investigation into the account with the
district of former treasurer John Kop-
pen, was fairly we'll attended Wendell
Hodapp acted as moderator and A. An
derson as clerk D V. Williams, who
has been employed by the present
board to make the investigation. was
present at the request of the board He
was called upon to read his report,
which he did clearly and impartially.
Mr.. Koppen and A. Curtis, the former
clerk, undertook to explain some of the
features of their records, but as most of
the complications were prior to 1894 it
was difficult work.
Mr.. Williams report finds that Mr.
Koppen is indebted to the district about
1865. On motion, Messrs. Koppen and
Curtis were given six weeks to prepare
their side of the case.
Remarks were made by several
present, scoring the old board for the
loose manner in which it had tran
sacted its business.
Mr.. Hodapp desired to offer a resolu
ton which was declared to be out of
order, and the meeting adjourned.

The st. Paul Dispatch in speaking OF
Representative Guttersen's proposition
to publish the list of personal taxpayers,
says: 1t might mean something or
nothing, according as it might be pub
lished, or simply printed in news
paper having no circulation The only
purpose of printing such list would be
to stimulate the payment of personal
property taxes, and the only way to
stimulate payment would be to publish
the list in paper of general circula-
ton. To simply let it to the lowest
bidder, regardless of circulation, would
make it the same kind of farce that
MOST legal publications are" This
puts the case fairly, and if anything OF
the kind is done, the line marked out by
the Dispatch ought to be followed in
order to secure any good from it.

THE NEW CHARTER.

As copy of the prepared new charter
has been out among the voters for some
two weeks, it is fair to assume that
the majority of them have read at least
its principal provisions In so doing,
the fact could hardly escape them of
the careful manner in which the inter.
ests of the city have been safeguarded
at every turn. The duties of the va
rious officials are already defined, and
just penalties are imposed for violating
any of them The whole object of the
commission was bent in securing the
abolition of the present loose method of
conducting affairs while at the same
time leaving as free action as possible
for the conduct of the legitimate affairs
of the city.
One most cemmendable feature of
the new charter is that it divides the
city funds among the various depart
ments for which they are to be used,
and forbids any of them being over
drawn The city recorder is prohibited
from auditing and presenting the coun-
