PRAISED BY EXPERT

B. A. Brsckenbury, Portland en-.
gineer, who has been making a tour of
the northwest studying the systems
used by municipalities in keeping their
accounts, was here the latter part of
last week, interviewing local officials
and studying the system of bookkeep-
ing. MIR. Brackenbury started in, on
his visit to the office of City Recorder
Howe, to deliver little we'll meant
advice. 'Just wait moment" said
Mr.. Howe, after the visitor had ex-
planned his mission, land don't pass
any remarks until you have seen what
we have"
After MIR. Brsckenbury had made a
complete investigation Of the books
used by the city he declared that in.
stead of being able to show Hood River
something, he had been shown. He
said that he had visited no city where
the system of bookkeeping was SO ac-
curate, economical or better subject to
check.
Mr.. Brackenbury is making his in
vestigations for the purpose of working
out system of economical accounting

The Decision in Full.

The decision OF the court is as follows
Relator. William J. Frizzell. by leave
of court, filed petition praying for a
writ of quo warranto to test the right OF
respondent. Oliver p. Newman. TO hold
the office of civil Commissioner of the
District of Columbia. The writ was ac-
cordingly issued. and for return re-
spondent demurred to the petition and
moved to quash the writ. Upon hearing.
the demurrer and motion were sustained.
and from the Judgment dismissing the pc
tition and quashing the writ relator has
appealed.
Relator. a citizen and taxpayer of the
District OF Columbia. challenges the right
Of respondent to hold the office of Com
missioner. to which he was appointed by
the President. with the advice and con-
sent of the Senate. upon the ground that
he was not a resident OF the District for
three years prior to his appoin tment.
and that his appointment was therefore
in violation of the following provision OF
the act of Congress, approved June IL,
1878 co Stats. L., 1862: THE two persons
appointed from civil life shall, at the
time Of their appointment be citizens
of the United States, and shall have been
actual residents of the District of CO.

appointment. and have. during that
period. clained residence nowhere else. "

for that reason, ousted from the place, he

Wording of Statute Controls.

We have reviewed at great length the

sary implication. provides that the In
