Treasurer Opposes City Bank Rotation Plan

City Treasurer Lednum and the
members OF the finance and law COM
mittee OF City Council held a long con-
ference last night in the Mayors Of
fee, Mr.. Lednum appearing before the
Councilmen to make objection to a
section of the proposed ordinance for
the rotation of banks as city deposit
tories for city funds, which effects
him.
This section, he stated, increases his
duties and responsibilities. II provides
that the city tax collectors must turn
over their cash collections to the City
Treasurer daily and be deposited by
him. 1t has been customary for the
tax collectors TO make the deposits
themselves and obtain a certificate of
deposit from the bank, turning this
over to the treasurer, thereby show
ing how much money was deposited
The City Treasurer had handled these
certificates the same as deposits and
enters them accordingly, in his books.
Mr.. Lednum informed the Council
men that in the event the proposed
ordinance is passed in its present
shape, his responsibilities would be
greatly increased. The actual cash
now handled by the City Treasurer
amounts TO about $4,000 a year. he
depositing the receipts Of his office
every day, as required by law He is
bonded by a surety company in the
sum of $4,000 and he pointed out that
if all the tax money is dumped into
his Office he will handle 100000 to
100000 or more annually, requiring,
in consequence, bigger bond and in

stood, however, that there is a law
at this time requiring them TO do so,
which the finance chairman has only
to enforce.
II was said today that the tax col
lectors deposit their receipts daily,
but there are exceptions. On some
days in the early part of the week no
money at all is received and on others
but a few dollars passes over the
counters. The collectors make extra
efforts toward big collections on
Thursday and the money is all de-
posted at that time.
The tax collectors, it is understood
have no objection to depositing their
receipts daily.
Mr.. Lednum told the Councilmen
that If they could show him where the
city would gain any benefit by i'm
posing the extra duties and RESPONSE
bilities on him he would retire from
the position he has taken. He is
convinced that the custom in effect
in the past. allowing the tax payers 10
deposit the money received by them
and they in turn giving him certih-
Gates of deposit was a good one tc
follow and saved much time and
trouble.
Just what the Councilnen will dc
relative to this section they did moi
say.
The question of the rotation oi
banks came up during the discussion
and Mr.. Lednum was asked his opin-
ion on it. He said that was a matter
he had no concern in and it made
no difference TO Kim how Council ar
ranged the banking system

GET LIGHT ON
FIBRE co. TROUBLE
Creditors Offered rs Per Cent.
Cash and Like Amount
In Bonds

There was a meeting of creditors Of
the ]. c. Parker Fibre Company this
morning in the County Court Room.
The meeting was presided over by
William T. Lyman. A superficial ex-
animation of the books of the company
had been made, the plant at New Cas-
tie found to be in fairly good condi-
tion, and the stock on hand in good
condition. 1t was suggested that the
receiver have a co-receiver appointed
who would look after the interests of
the creditors. The meeting adopted
a resolution TO petition the Chancellor
to order an audit of the company's
books by an accountant to be selected
on behalf OF the creditors.
Pending this no action will be taken
regarding the co-receiver.
Joseph c. Parker, of the company,
presented a proposition to the credi-
tors which was not acted upon by the
meeting. It was an offer of 25 par
cent. in cash and to issue bonds for the
payment in five years Of an additional
25 per cent.
The creditors will meet at the call
of the chairman.
Evening journal., 1911-09-01

creasing the cost for this about four
times that Of the premium on the pres
ent bond.
Another reason why the City Treas
urer objects to the proposed section is
that he could not handle the tax office
money without extra help and fire.
quently would not be able to count
it and have it ready for depositing
taht day AS a result he would have
to place the money In the old vault
in the City Treasurer's office, an un-
reliable affair, with the result that
he would be unable to sleep at night
The responsibility of having so much
money in such an unstable strong box
would be more than he could stand
he thought.
He said the tax collectors now have
considerable trouble particularly dur
ing the months when the tax receipts
are heavy making up their deposits
in time to get them to bank, frequently
being Obliged to get the bank to hold
its books open to and 4.30 o'clock.
IF II takes this long for the tax col
lectors to count the money and they
then bring it to me, it would require
my services and several clerks two to
three hours TO count some days re-
ceipts. and it would be unreasonable
to ask the bank TO remain open TO
o'clock" said Mr.. Lednum.
II appears that IL was the intention
of Col. Stover, chairman Of the Coun-
ell finance committee, inserting the
section in the ordinance in question
to make the tax collectors deposit
their receipts every day. It is under

on last month despite the fact thar
her services were dispensed with on

planned that there had been mis-

Mrs. McGrath was still on the Job at

STORM KING
PASSES OVER
All Nature Refreshed After
One Of Heaviest Storms
in City'S History

With fair weather predicted by the
weather man September has started
In much better than August ended .
and In fact better than the showing
made by last month at any time. The
sun was welcomed by a long suffering
people and its appearance seemed to
awaken everybody. For once I'm more
than a week no umbrellas were seen
today.
The total rain fall for the month
was 1853 inches, eighty-hundredths
having fallen from noon yesterday to
4.30 o'clock In the afternoon when th,
rain stopped.
Much inconvenience has been caused
the railroad companies by the heavy
rains. Tho employees OF the Todd's
Cut shops we're unable to get from the
shops to their homes yesterday with
out getting their feet wet The Chris
tiana and Brandywine Rivers com
bined yesterday in flooding the
grounds of the shops.
West Yard also came in for its share
of the flood and many freight cars
there had TO be pulled through water
axle deep.
On the local trolley lines no SER
ious washout were reported. Between
Chester and Darby there were several
bad washouts.
Much talk has been going around
about the freshet in the Brandywine
Creek The officials Of the Whining
ton and Philadelphia Traction Com
papy have been put to no inconven-
len at the power house upon the Bran
dywine. The water was not as high
at midnight by FIVE feet as 1t has been
on previous occasions. The reason for
this is that the rain Of yesterday and
the night before was of such a steady
nature that the natural flow of the
river could carry off the excess with
out inundating plants along the creek
banks.
1t has been an eight-day rain which
is said TO have been the heaviest down
fall of water here since 1867.

Jones, contractor. which broke adrift
from the wharf of the Delaware Gran
ite Company yesterday morning and

No especial damage was done "a

More Good Roads
Are In View.

The good roads movement is
spreading rapidly as now comes
Salt Lake City asking to join with
Colorado in building connecting
link between the two states by
which a big start will be made
towards a through automobile line
to the Pacific coast. Good roads
organizations are being effected
all over the state and the people
seem to be anxious and willing
20 stand the increased taxation in
order to get the public highways
in order whereby all kinds of
traffic and travel will be made
possible by which means they
will not longer ne compelled to
depend upon the railways. In
these days o motor conveyances
there is no telling to what extent
of utility they may become to the
general public aud it would seem
that The only question is the fur
nishing of suitable roadbeds for
for heavy traffic 10 enable these
machines to go into competition
with the railway lines for the
transportation of heavy freight
as we'll as that of mail and ex-
press. 1t is au established fact
that railroads are MT in it so far
as the climbing of heavy grades
is concerned, in comparison with
those which may be ca lily accom-
plished by the average motor
car of today.
