Mr.. Curtis Position

William f. Curtis, the author of 1.-THE
True Thomas Jefferson" published by
J. B. Lippineott Company, occupies a
unique position upon the American
press. Perhaps no other editor. CORE
spondent, or reporter in the world en-
joys the same distinction. For the last
16 years his letters have appeared daily
in the Chicago Record. He is allowed
to go where he pleases, and stay as
long as he likes; he can write on any
subject from any point of view, regard
less of the editorial policy of the pa
per, and his dispatches and letters are
never edited. His only purpose is TO
tell the truth, no matter whom it helps
or hurts, and he has done so with d
conscientious energy that is recognized
by the editorial profession and the pub
lie of the central and Western states.
No newspaper writer is copied so much
as he, and none has so large a per
sonal constituency. He has travelled
in all countries-has written on all sub
jects, and since the first of Decem-
Der, 1893 his letter has appeared reg
uiaTly. every morning.

The finance committee made the
following report on the annual report
Vi AlUy 1ICdSuIGI Cldul.
REPORT OF FINANCE COMMITTEE ON
EX-CITY TREASURER STALLS REPORT.
The report of the Finance COM
mittee on the above report has been
delayed several months for the reason
that the committee were unable to
make the report of the treasurer
balance. We apparently had an excess
of city orders to the amount of several
thousand dollars over and above the
amount reported by the treasurer.
We asked the treasurer to enlighten
US on the subject, but he failed to do
SO. We finally made up our minds to
open the packages and check the
orders, in doing SO we accidentally
discovered the trouble. We found
that part of the Centralia orders had
been taken up by issuing Grand
Rapids city orders for the same. These
orders should have been cancelled
when taken up and not turned over tC
the city treasurer. The treasurer
made his annual report on the End day
of April, 1901, and at the expiration
of his office, May 2, 1901, his monthly
report, and in order to have a report
in full of the years receipts and dis
~ WCto ICCCCoodly w illdhS
a combination of the two reports,
which is herewith submitted.
We would recommend that hereafter
the treasurer be requested to make a
second report in full at the expiration
Of his term in May.
We would further recommend that
the treasurer be required, when he
makes his final report, to list in
numerical order all orders paid by him
or through the bank, and that the
same shall be footed and in proper
condition for checking and cancella-
ton, and when found correct the
schedule shall be entered on the
Record book of this council.
We recon mend further that person
in orGer to draw city order shall be
required, by the clerk, to sign the stub
of the order.
We further recommend that city
depository be required to file their
statements of Overdraft and interest
thereon with the city clerk and that
all orders be drawn on the city
treasurer for the amount of said
interest account. E. j. WOOD,
