HOW BALDWIN
GOT that $500

1t developed today that President
Baldwin Of the city council got the
$500 for his vacation trip to the east
BY burying the $500 item among the
monthly expense bills Of tho city.
When these bills came up In the
council, as has been quite often the
practice in the past, Councilman
Hand. ignorant Of the Joker in the
budget, to save time, moved that the
reading of the bills be waived.
Furthermore, the claim for $500
expenses was never brought before
the finance committee of the city
council. It coyly went before the
city auditing committee consisting OF
Mayor Boyd, President Baldwin OF
the city council and Comptroller
Daggett and in it's buried form was
handed up to the city council.
Councilman Pratt, when asked
about the matter. today, said that
he was like the members Of the board
Of public works, did not know that
the bill had been allowed until it had
passed through the city council. He
thought it no more than fair that
Mr.. Baldwin should have been allow
ed for any extra expense or trouble
to which he might have been put in
connection with the crematory mat
ter while on his way east, but he did
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1903-07-30

not dream Of $500 charge being
made.
In other city hall Official circles the
legality Of allowing Mr.. Baldwin the
$500 is being questioned. AS point
in issue it Is showed that when Chief
Myer Of the fire department was al
lowed to 20. to the fire chiefs. con-
vention in New York city q special
ordinance had to be passed through
the city council anowlng him $500
for the expenses Of the trip.
Inquiry at the ticket Offices in this
city shows that nrst class round
trip ticket to New York, including
berths in sleeper. the ticket having
stop-over privileges in Chicago and
Minneapolis, can be purchased for
$3.50. Allowing three meals day
for 10 days would bring the expense
UP to s18s. From this it is clear
that Mr.. Baldwin could have made
his trip nicely on $3.50.
Furthermore, it is said at the city
hall that when the project Of sending
a local representative east to examine
crematories was first preached the
Decarie company offered to share the
expense.
The story published in The Press
last night telling OF the Baldwin trip
and how $500 was received from the
city treasury has created a profound
sensation among city hall officials.
