Mr.. McGovern makes the contention
that the decision in this particular
case applies to that section of the or
dinance requiring that the receipts
and expenditures of the city be print
ed. He contends that it is waste OF
money to have these reports printed,
which entail an expenditure of from
$500 to 1000. Mr.. McGovern says
that the receipts and expenses appear
in the treasurer's annual report, which
is printed annually and he considers
it useless to print page after page, at
So a page, to show that the teachers
and other city employees receive their
salaries regularly every month.

This action was reconsidered last

Times correspondent learns that this
was the statement President Taft
made, several weeks ago to a friend
with whom he was discussing the DO

pendent is informed that President
Taft made substantially the same re-

until they are almost common prop
