but that would be about the only re-
dress the council would have.
On the question of keeping mems
time by number or names, Dunnam
said he had worked IA years for cor
porations and he had never signed a

Mayor Kellough stuck his foot in it
by saying that he had also worked
for corporations and had never signed

the Warren company be: accepted.
Snubs the Mayor.
Bridges started to ask the mayor
If he was a member Of the committee
of the whole, when Mayor Kellough
quickly withdrew his motion.
Mexican said that while he did not
want to appear as opposed to a full
investigation the time books had been
accepted by the water committee as
the payrolls and the committee stood
ready to shoulder any responsibility
in regard to the way they were kept.
Attorney Blandford asked Manager
Reese if the time books on file with
the council were the only payrolls

Glasford, Mexican, Bachtold, Durham
Aye-Kirkman, Bridges and Tausick.
The motion was then put to accept
the system used in keeping time on
the pipe line. Tausick was the only
one to vote against it.
After the noon adjournment Council
man Bridges said as long as the water
committee was willing to assume full
responsibility for the way the payrolls
were kept and the council had given
the water committee almost unlimited
power there was nothing to do but
accept the system.
Other Bills Considered.
After voting against employing an
expert and adopting the system the
council spent over an hour going
through bills filed and paid by the
water department. Bills, which it was
thought should have been paid by the
Warren company, were tossed to one
side and later taken up to be adjusted.
The work was not completed by
noon, when an adjournment was taken
until o'clock, Mr.. Lynch promising
to have an itemized statement Of the
wages paid the blacksmith's helper,
the tool sharpener and his assistant.
When the council reconvened at 2
