City Bookkeeping.

The board of aldermen has ap-
pointed committee to investigate
and report on system of municipal
bookkeeping. This wise move. 1t
was made at the suggestion of City
Treasurer T. F. Mahoney, who had in
mind principally the lack of system
in the settlement of the treasurer's
and collectors accounts.
But the committee will enter upon
j fertile field for investigation. Lest
we be misunderstood, it should be
explained that this Investigation is in
no way a reflection upon the ac-
curacy of the accounts as at present
kept, or the integrity of any of the
city officials, but merely has in view
the systemizing of accounts. Here
tofore, for instance, each city treas
urer has had his own way of keeping
accounts, furnishing his own books,
which are not city property, and are
not turned over to his successor.
To prepare for the city system of
bookkeeping at once complete, COM
prehensive, and yet not complicated
or obscure is not the work of a mo-
ment. No better selection for this
arduous work could have been made
than that of Mr.. Knowlton, who will
have the assistance of the finance
committee of the board of aldermen
to explain the needs of the city, and
can bring his own ability as an expert
accountant to the solution of the
problem.

6lnoe 70 many rAilroAd scoidsut,
hAve occurred between here and the
Portland cement WORKS on this d:v,.
sion Of the Rio Grande railroad, and
since there are comparatively moro
here than ON any other part Of the
system, the question 10 being asked
whether this short distance Of the
road Is hooded. II seems like there IL
some foundation for the hoodo theory
as 1t is a fact that the worst wrecks
and the greatest list OF fatalities oc-
cur here.
It's a fact that most of the wrecks
and smashups the company has In the
Arkansas valley seem to happen
around Florence or that part of the
road between here and Portland, more
properly speaking. Some years ago
when passenger train was transport
ing a gang of section men from Pu-
eblo to do some road work in the
western part of the county, the train
was wrecked and the fatality list
reached thirty seven. Since then
there have been many smaller wrecks
in which small number Of passengers
were either MANNED or killed.
Two years ago this coming fall an
east bound passenger train collided
head-on with a westbound freight and
seventeen persons were injured, some
Of them fatally. some slightly. A
year ago last March two passenger
trains came together head-on at a
point a short distance west Of the
Portland cement works. The east
bound train was burned up and fifty
Besides there have been innumer-
able freight wrecks in which the train
men were killed or manned and
which resulted in a heavy loss to the
euquipment Of the company. not say.
ing anything about the merchandise
that was destroyed and which was
the company's loss, or supposed to
be.
II nothing else can be said for the
road it is the worst that the company
has to contend with owing to numer-
GUS short turns and curves, where,
oftentimes, it is impossible for one
engineer to see the approach Of
another train until 1t Is too late to
prevent the oncoming train from
bounding into the other. The COM
pany Ia now working on its double
tracking scheme and they claim that
when it is finished and the east and
west bound trains are running on
their own track only. that the per
oentage Of wrecks will be reduced to
the minimum.
The travelling public will be glad
to zee the day come when something
is done to prevent the terrible
slaughter, broken bones and iisrup-
tion OF homes. There is not a per-
son in the county who travels that
stretch Of the road, but shudlers
when riding between the Portland
cement works and Florence, for they
know the history of the track aud
are always glad when the two points
are passed. Even In the Royal
Gorge, where it would seem that the
possibility Of danger is the greatest,
there are fewer wrecks than down
here in the valley.
The people Of the county who have
learned Of the many disasters that
have occurred in the past few years
have reason to ask II the road is
hoodoed.
