the market developed considerable
strength, and during the first hour prices
ruled substantially above the figures Of
the opening. The buying was charac-

based largely on the assumption that
the speeches of Taft and President
Roosevelt will be reassuring. The

uuieted down somewhat, and prices
generally reacted. The early advances
in Union Pacific. Copper. Reading, and
the Hill shares were reduced l TO ?
points while in other quarters OF the
market the early improvements were
reduced to fractions. The selling was
iuuuenced 70 some extent by the
strained conditions abroad and the
strength in foreign exchange here,

While your committee have not
found from the records any at
tempt at eu bezzlement of funds
and that the errors are few, yet,
by an examination of the appro-
priations and allowances from
some of the funds it is evident
from the present conditions of
the finances that there has been
mismanagement on the part Of
those in charge of the financial
affairs OF the city. Had there
been greater care in the examin-
alton and auditing Of accounts
and greater wisdom displayed in
the employment Of labor and a
more jealous effort along the line
of economy, our city today would
not be in the depressed financial
condition which we find it.
AS a sample OF the recklessness
of expenditures Of funds, we cite
one or two instances. Last July,
bids were called for printing 20
copies of the city ordinances in
book form. Contract was award.
ed to Campbell Bros. for 67hc
per page, work TO be done ac-
cording to specifications. When
the work was completed, a till
for S118 was presented and al
lowed without any investigation
as to whether the work was done
according to specifications called
for. The council paid about $40
more for this work than it should
have done had the printers done
the work according to agreement.
Again, in the allowance of the
bill of l.. T. Russell, of the Ana
darko Democrat, for printing
amounting to Se60.S0, without
investigation, this large claim
stand against the city. Some OF
these items, we are confident, the
law loes not contemplate shall
be paid for out of the city funds,
while other charges are exhorbi.
tant, unreasonable and unjust.
Claims in this bill were allowed
for legal notices without the fill
ing of proof of publication, which
is contrary to all custom and
practice of legal bodies. and we
believe in violation of law. A
warrant, however, has not yet
been issued for this claim and it
may remain in the power of this
council to eliminate the over
charges in this bill.
The manner in which the light
and water claims have been COL
lected has certainly entailed a
loss to the city of many dollars.
We were unable to make a
careful inspection of the superln-

Itendent's books while they had
charge of the collections, but
enough is known that prompt
collections every month were not
made, some patrons going four
or five months without payment.
In this manner, some parties left
the city without psying their
bill, the city losing the accounts.
An expenditure of S21359.57 in
twenty three months and receipts
only S7255.52 certainly indicates
mismanagement somwhere, to
say the least. and if continu d
along the same lines will bank
rupt the city.
RECOMMENDATION
Your committee would respect
fully subrit the following recon-
mendations:
First: That all officers hand.
ling city funds be required to
turn over all funds in their pos.
session on the last day of each
month in which collections are
made. This will pr vent confu-
sion, and greatly assist in the
examination of the accounts in
auditing books hereafter.
Second: We recommend that
immediate and suitable provision
be made for the proper care of
official papers and documents in
the City Clerks office. At pres
ent the old p pers and official
documents are stored away in
cracker boxes, and it is very diff
ficult to find papers when desir'
ed; and as soon as provision is
made for these papers that the
clerk arrange them in the proper
form.
Third: That the city council
order the return of all copies OF
the new city ordinance books
now in possession of parties not
entitled to the same, TO the end
that the present city officers en-
titled to copy may secure them
and that all extra copies be filed
with the Mayor or Clerk for safe
keeping, these ordinances being
the property of the city.
Fourth: That council have
quarterly statements of receipts
and expenditures published. as
required by law.
Fifth: That action be taken by
the council as soon as possible to
| pro vide for liquidation ON pres
ent Indebtedness, in order to
maintain the credit of the city,
All of which is respectfully
submitted.
