 Then there is criticism of the sum of s2l00O paid for rent of the council rooms. (which amount could have gone towards interest on the cost of a city hall of it's own" That's true; yet in the last municipal election Pellegrin and his puny newspaper put forth all their insignificant strength in 2 fruitless effect to defeat the ticket which was pledged 10 the very proposition to erect a town hall, something that he had been clam bring for from the very day of his bursting into the field of journal ism. He wanted town hall bad When he found that men were standing for 1t he changed his mind because some of those who agreed with the idea he did not like. Now that he thinks people have forgotten the drubbing he re- ceived at the last municipal elec- ton he begins to clamor for the town hall again.
 Again "The amount of $950oo paid the water company is out of all proportion to the benefits de- rived from that souree.n So the nincompoop has got around 10 the water company again. Now while the water service might be better. (and the water company are ex- pending d good deal of money to make it better), such as it is insur- ance rates are much less than they would be without t. Every prop erty owner would pay more in the higher cost of insurance-far more
 -than his share in the amount paid the water company, to which the (hand) organ grinder objects.
 Then, "the amount Of S698 D paid for electric light seems also large' Very likely 1t does to one determined to find fault, like Signor Pelegrini. Now that amount was paid for lighting the streets of the town for a period of two years.

lt will pe noticed Chat the um of si25 was paid Co Perkins < Bor
 ton for work on the northern ad-
 dition to Che lownsite, which seems
 pretty steep"
 With the most careful scrutiny
 it is impossible to discover where
 there was paid the sum of $425.- 00" to Perkins E Borton." There
 is one item which shows that c. E. Perkins was paid 1850 for sur
 veying the additional townsite, and another notes payment to T. A. Borton of S75 for legal work on the townsite. Now those are two separate transactions, and 1t is mean trick (just such as Pellegrin seems 50 capable of doingl to lump them into one, and convey the idea that they were a single transaction, without any description of what was the work the payment of which is hinted as having been ex- travagant, if not dishonest. Cap tain Perkins, who surveyed the townsite, is very competent en
 gineer, and he charged no more than would any other professional of like qualifications for the same service. Pellegrin probably holds an opinion that he could have done il much cheaper himself No doubt that he would have un- dertaken the job had he been given the chance, for the self sufficient bunch of gall and brass has shown himself as believing he is capable Of doing first class work in any profession or calling. II he did undertake such a task he would very likely try to carry t through bv working as his assistants cheap labor that k glad to secure a bare subsistence. Mr. Borton k a re- pusable lawyer at Tucson, who makes speciality of business in the land office, and is always sought in cases Of importance, such was this. His charge of S75 is not ali all exorbitant.
 The next kick" is about an overdrait on the incidental street fund, amounting to sl26445. IN has been customary always in the municipal work to oyerdraw the incidental street fund, and transfer thereto money from other funds not so much in need Of money as that fund. Every report that THE OASIS ever published showed that. and during twelve years past it has published several But hear the sapienee of the criticism /" Aside from some arroyo and bridge work there is very little about the appearance of the streets to show for such large expendit- ure.a There is "Bunsbyism' for you. Perhaps the arroyo and bridge work absorbed all the large expenditure" Now it seems to TIE OASIS that other items in the report cover the bridge work and

FOUND 4 MARES NEST.

Ebullient with egotism the egregious ass, who, sneaking behind the personality of his witless brother, perpetrates upon the un- fortunate community of Nogales an alleged daily newspaper, never lets slip an opportunity to emit a bray and wigwag his flexuous ears. His latest bray walked the echoes of tho hills last Saturday, and 1t was all over the financial state- ment of the municipality copy of which had finally reached the sa- cred precincts of the iewelry store assay-ofiice- journal. And the poor fool carried on about the report almost as fiercely as would have been proper had there been de teeted the most barefaced and shameful fraud But the ridicu- lous screed cannot be described, 30 ft is presented herewith in full:
 INTERESTING READING
 The Times is indebted to Town Clerk Muneh for d duplicate financial report for the two years incumbency of the last town council It will prove very interesting reading 70 our taxpayers and citizens generally as showing where the twelve thousand and odd dollars collected bv the city in taxes and licen- ses for the past two years has gone to.
 Certain items will attract particular attention. It will be noticed that the sum of SA25.0 was paid Perkins X Bor toll for work on the northern addition to the t0wnsite. which seems pretty steep However, against this Is | de- p0sit oi S359.00 collected from the prop- erfY owners.

Tie amount oE Fa5000 paid the water company was all out af proportion to the benefits derived from that source. The amount Of s69325 paid for electric light seems also large, while the item oi S205.50 for buryina indigents would seem to call for an ex- llanation from the honorable council as the county is supposed to attend to that.
 Another item that ls somewhat mys- tifving is the S9l3.67. Other Incident II Itemsn That is rather large sum io be charged as unitemized incident als
 Several other points in the report could be brought out. but lack Of space prevents more extended notice at this time Let every taxpayer study the report carefully and figure out the results for himself
