azr. Corning; WAS Under the Impress
sion That the City Council Ran
the City-4ues ion as to Whether
or Not Money Has Bccn Wrong
fully Diverted From. the School
Fund-Report for December.
The school Board held a round table
talk upon matters of finance at its meet
ing last night. and incidentally touched
up Comptroller McCardy
Secretary 'IIealy read an official notif-
cation from City Clerk Jensen of the pas
sage of the ordinance transferring the
1000 insurance fund to the general ex-
pense account The secretary also stated
that he had sent a special delivery COM
nunication to the comptroller asking him
to officially notify the school board if he
would make the transfer, and had Sc
the board accept the $50, O00 Inspector
Fry stated that the comptroller had in a
| newspaper interview declared that he
would not transfer the money.
4'Well, what's McCardy got to do with
it, anyway 1 thought the city was run
by the city cotncil,'' avered Mr.. Corning.
Then, just to make 1t good, Mr. Corning
thought perhaps Comptroller McCardy
would think Mr.. Healy's question imper-
tinent ~ -
II don't think the comptroller has any
thing to do With It. We have been legally
notified of the councils action, and that's
enough for u.s. Said e. o. Zimmerman.
Mr.. Mcdonald took the breath away
from his colleagues by stating that Mr..
McCardy had stated to him that he would
not TRANSFERRING money. Mr.. Smith stated
that the public examiner had found $780,
900 had been transferred by Mr.. McCardy,
but not to the good of the cause. He sug-
gested that a committee be appointed to
investigate, ethe& matter. President Zim-
hermann thought that when all entries
on the city,s books in red and black had
been figured out the school board was
ahead of the game. Mr.. Mcdonald urged
that if the money had been wrongfully
! diverted from the school fund it should
| be looked into.
Secretary Healy's report showed a bal
ance to the credit of the teachers salary
fund that will keep the schools open until
May IS, and perhaps couple of days
longer. The board was officially notified
of the appointment of Inspector McDon-
aid.
