Had City Auditor Boughman dropped a
bomb into the meeting of the directors of

morning, he would not have startled them
more than when he handed a number Of
bills TO Secretary Wiley saying he failed
to approve them. The members looked
from one to the other and then appealed
to Mr.. Boughman for an explanation.
The city auditor said he did not sign the
following bills because they were not ac-
companied by the contracts: Thomas
Logue, S19Z21, sand; Philip Tyre, S170.3S,
curb; Simmons & Brother, S26.96. curb
Davis & Brother, resetting curb. S70.75; j.

the contracts before he acted
It was explained by Mr.. Wiley that the
contracts were sent to Mayor Fisher for
his signature and had not been returned
Another bill held up by Mr. Boughman
was that Of J. NJ. Bryan for SS2.42 for
repairing the gas street lamps. Mr.
Boughman said he did not know that the

He said he was Of the opinion that the
American Lighting Company should bear
the expense as IL had contract to light
the city with gas starting on June Q
Mr. Melvin said the city should pay the
bill. There was another bill Of j. r. Mari
for straw to be used in packing the new
