CITY AUDITOR
STRIKES AGAIN
Wants City Council to Com
pei Tax Collectors to
Settle Collections.

At the meeting OF City Council last
evening City Auditor Boughman
threw another bomb into the camp
OF the tax collectors. In a commun.
ication the Auditor charges that an.
incomplete delinquent list was pub
lished by the tax collectors. The
communication follows:
''To the Hon. President and
Mem bers Of City Council.
"Gentiemen: lagain respectfully
call to your attention the amount Of
lakes vet unsettled for by the COL
lectors for the years;lS96-lS lS97-lS9S-
1899 l900-19Ol. The amount in the
aggregate in round nun bers is Sll0-
900 less, Of course, any error lists
which may be allowed. Over SIS, 900
Of this amount is for the years 1896.
97.0S.
Last September the collectors
published mat which they termed
a full list of taxes outstanding for
the year 1901. Such lists amounted
to between $4,000 and $1,000.
yet they have, since September, 1902
deposited to the credit of 1901 taxes,
over SIS, 600 and at the present time
there are taxes unsettled for
that year of over s65 900. So you will
observe that the lists as published
were far from being complete.
For the year 1902 there are at the
present time taxes outstanding of
over $93, 600, which however, do not
become delinquent until September
l, 1903.
THAT the collectors have been
allowed to run so long without be-
ing obliged to make settlement
with the city for the years 1867
98-99 is not right; and respectfully
suggest that they be required to
make a settlement for those years
at an early date, and particularly
for the years 1S96-97-9S, without
delay.
rs it any wonder that the Coun-
Gil when near the close Of each fiscal
year for the past three years, has been
obliged to borrow temporarily from
bank, thousands Of dollars, when
the tax collectors have been allowed
to do as they pleased and practically
made foot ball of the finances of
the city when great portion of it
should htTe long since found its
way to the city treasury'
Respectfully,
John Boughman, City Auditor"
The communication was referred |
to the finance committee,
Hamilton Stewart, the member
from the Seventh ward objected to
paying the bill of Robert G. Har-
man and Herbert II. Ward for $500
for services in tho Water Commits

the balance in the First National
Bank to be $d7, l2O. 80; in each

city when great portion Of 1t should
have long since found ito way to the
city treasury"
The figure Of making a foot ball OF
tile finances is certainly suggestive
one. Auditor Boughman has drawn
attention to the fact that a large
amount in delinquent taxes remains
unsettled and to the more striking
fact that although the collectors ad-
vertlsed $4,000 TO $1,000 as delin-
quent taxes for 1901 they had al
ready deposited more than sl5, 900 to
the credit OF 1901 taxes, and more
than SG5, 900 is Still unsettled. The
collectors have made no settlement
for lS9o-97--9S-99, and the city
auditor suggests that they be requlr-
ed 10 do SO at an early date.
1t is quite evident that the city
needs the introduction of business
methods IN the tax office The city
should know how its accounts stand.
Colder Weather Welcome.
Colder weather, a sample of which
was had this week, will be welcomed
in the west says Bradstree.s, be-
cause with its arrival marketing of
corn will be possible on a large
scale, and American producers will
be enabled to take advantage of
the large European demand which
Is expected to develop at the lower
la
available supplies. Large yields Of
potatoes and good crops of corn in
Europe last year enabled consumers
abroad to get along in face of the
immense shortage in the yield i'll
America which produces Is to so
per- cent Of the normal worlds
supply.
This year the European crop is a
poor one, being nearly 100, OOC0 600
bushels smaller, while the crop is
fully |, 600, 900, 600 bushels larger.
Hence, a heavy demand from
abroad may be reasonably looked
for, butit is doubtful if it materi-
alizes early enough to much affect
the ratherpoor showing made by
American exports of breadstulfs
this year, because Of the shrinkage
OF $l2, O00, 600 III the value of corn
exports from last year and of $59,-

GLOBE PROVES 4 SUCCESS
LIFE SAVER is TURNED LOSE IN
ROUGH SEA AND SAILS
TO SHORE.

NEW YORK, Nov. ls.-Another test
has been given the life saving globe
invention for use in shipwrecks by
Captain Donvig. a Norwegian. says a
Herald dispatch from London The
object OF this test was 20 ascertain
how the craft would behave in heavy
seas.
While the waves were running ex
tremely high and sea was running in
which, IL was declared, no lifeboat
could live. the globe was towed by q
tug from Dover harbor into the chan

In order that the apparatus should
be as near as possible in the same con
dition as 1t would be if used in case Of
a shipwreck. it was weighted with
sand bags. which. with four men who
were in the globe. made the weight
equivalent to that Of 20 men and 80
days provisions.
The globe, without its crew, was
first towed out to sea between Dover |
and the south foreland. The strong |
wind raised terrific seas. Several times |
the tug was caught in the trough and |
her decks were completely swept so |
that IL was necessary to batten down |
ALI the hatchways. But the globe rode
over the waves like cork. Finally it
was towed into quiet water, where
Captain Donvig. accompanied by three
Dover seamen went aboard. They
Fastened the manhole and the globe
was again towed TO sea. When the
full force Of the wind and seas was
experienced, Captain Donvig signalled
through the manhole to cast of the
towrope.
The globe, left to itself, bobbed about
in the heavy seas. but showed no in
clination 10 roll over.
After tossing about for 10 or Is min
utescaptain Donvig and one of the
sailors emerged from the manhole, and,
lashing themselves on the outside of
hte globe. set a small sail which they
pulled through the manhole with them.
The air funnel was used as mast
and the queer craft was navigated
back to harbor, distance of several
miles.
