THAT AUTO BILL
YET HANGS FIRE
IN COMMITTEE

That $500 police auto bill has not yet
been referred 10 the city council. The
committee on claims. which has resurrect-
ed itself 10 take galvanic action on this
particular expenditure OF the public
moneys. has done no more thus far, ac-
cording TO an influential member. than to
hold up the bill
Three courses are open 20 the commit
tee. IL may send the,bill back TO the de-
partment where ii originated, order the
city treasurer TO pay, or refer 1t TO the
city council
IL has done nothing up To the present
time further than to lay the bill on the
table. where 1t will rest until some time
next month, possibly until after election
when It's usefulness as campaign material
will have been ended
Discussing the bill today a representa-
tive member Of the committee on claims
denied that the city auditors action
could possibly have been due TO political
considerations.
II have known Mr.. Chase for years"
he said, and have respect for his judg-
mont | was constrained to indorse the
holding up OF the bill until II could be in
quired into because the city employs the
auditor TO protect IL In so far as he can;
and ii would not do TO overrule him with
out making any inquiry. when he asserts
that there Is an irregularity connected
with this particular expenditure.
1T Is possible that the city auditor has
made a mistake. but 1t would he the
wrong policy TO Ignore his protest. be-
cause the time may come when he will be
right, as he generally has been. and then
the city council would make bad mis-
take by ignoring him and could have only
Itself TO blame Moreover, he IS employed
TO do Just what he Is doing. and 1t he
did not do 1t, the salary paid him would
be wasted.
II do not know about the legal aspects
OF the purchase nor how different from
other departments are the relations of the
police department TO the city. II we in.
vestigate and find that the police commits
sioners had the right TO incur such an ex-
pense the question will be settled for all
time; and future holdups OF this charac-
ter will be unnecessary
