DAILY STATEMENT
Of ACCOUNTS MADE
MAY BE FOUND IN CITY TREAS
URER'S OFFTCE-NO ORDI-
=
NANCE NECESSARY.

The proposition presented by the
finance committee of the city coun-
Gil at the last meeting, introduced by
Vice-Chairman Fuller. requiring daily
balances of city funds in the various
banks. appears to those who have
looked into the situation. as being
unnecessary. as there Is daily state
ment in the office OF the city treas
urer, which shows where all the fl
nances Of the city are placed.
The daily report shows that the
clerk in the treasurer's office has
charge Of all books. And any coun-
Gilman who wishes to learn what is
going on in city finances. may learn
by calling upon the clerk.
Every cent that Is placed In any
bank in the city may be looked over
and the name of every bank which
serves the city can be learned.
The city will, before the current
year has passed. have to borrow from
the city banks from s700,000 to a
$1,000. 600. to cover the current ex-
penses.
Where can you get that much
money. except from a bank with
which the city does business" asked
a city official.
why should the city have to Dor
row this?"
I'm order TO cover many things
which the city may need, before the

ply.
