call your attention to the fact that in
this bill there is charged 81 more per
ton for in. pipe than the price charged
for A in. pipe, while as matter OF fact
the scale price Of pipe drops 81 per ton
for each 2 inches increase in the size.
The affidavit in this voucher is signed
by T. II. jacobson before A. }. Drummer,
City Auditor, but as the Auditor did
not affix his seal thereto, no proper af'
fldavit accompanies the same.
On March 9Th, 1906, the City Ireasur-
or cashed warrant No. 1888, amount
ing to $55, and entered the same in the
cash book for $50, and on the sane date
he cashed warrant No. $3.50, amounting
to $ll, and entered the same in cash
book at $40 The treasurer is therefore
out personally the amount of Sc, and
would recommend that the city reim-
burse him in this amount.
A discrepancy in figuring interest on
a bunch of warrants presented for ray
ment by the Second National Bank,
amounting to SIS II, and the amount
has now been paid by Mr.. Lindberg,
En- City Treasurer.
