ASKING FOR MORE.

Tho Mayor now recommends that une
CITY borrow another 100000 for "ln-
proycnents. The public has been pre-
pared for some Cine for this request
for more money, SO thoroughly charae-
terlstic of the minipulmors of the
party in bower
But, would it not be Just as well, ne
fore the question Of increasing the al
ready heavy burden OF taxation is con
sidored. to give the taxpayers a COM
plete and truthful report OF what be-
came Of the money the city borrowed
and raised by taxation during the past
two years--a report such as the law
contemplates?
According to the statutes the city
Auditor shall prepare and publish, on
or before the first Monday in February
OF each year" detailed statement
showing the financial condition of
city for the previous year It Is not
optional with him II is his duty 10 do
so. This must include a statement OF
the Indebtedness OF the city, funded
aud floating, and the total eApcndi
lures as shown by the warrants Issued,
giving in total the amount expended in
each department. The City Auditor
has so far failed to publish such d
statement. Whether he has prepared
it, is very doubtful The special $751;
900 auditors have twice presented a
report which does not comply with
the law. 1t was not accepted BY the
finance committee the first time for
that very reason. 1t does not show the
true financial status of the City the
last year. IL presents. we are told,
fictitious assets, and conceals the true
financial status behind unintellislble
figures 1t is, moreover. not report
authorized by the city Auditor, as re-
quired by law. In fact, that function
AIRY does not seem to care 20 be re-
sponsible for it.
We had hoped that somebody in the
service of the City would come out
honestly and frankly and say to the
citizens: Ladies and Gentlemen The
finances of the City are in bad shape.
The money you entrusted to our care
was not spent with the prudence and
economy you had a right to expect of
the administration. a considerable
part of it went to feed and grease tho
political machine, and some was wasted
In the enthusiasm of party victory.
Money is now needed to wipe out the
deficit created, and If you win Dor
row some for us, we viii try to do
better. Some such appeal might have
been made. But that would have been
honest Honesty is apparently not
the best policy. And so refuge is TAX
en- behind juggling figures concealing
past mlsmanagement as far as possl-
bic, and promises of improvements"
made to be broken
Let us first have a truthful hnan-
cial report such as the law makes II
the duty of the City Auditor to furnish.
Then the request for bond issue can
be considered on its merits. II the
party manipulators are ashamed of
their record and afraid to let the peo-
PIE know what they did with the pub
lie funds last year. they should have
the decency of not asking for more.

The officers were all in full uni

young lady who seemed to have her
naval escort cornered, as If she

the ladies, as II to scornfully refute
