DENVER, July 27-The commits
sion form of government is costing
Denver 100000 a year more than the
mayoralty plan cost.
This startling fact is contained in
the semi-annual report of James F.
Markey, city auditor. The compari-
SON Is made between the expenses OF
running the government the first half
of this year with thoee of the first
half of 1913.

parison, as bills and appropriations
of the two forms of government here
tofore have overlapped
If expenditures of the next six
months equal those of the last six
months. Auditor Markey says $780,
900 shortage in city funds will exist
on January 1, 1915
He serves notice on the commits
sioners that he will do his utmost to

ty Clerk McDonough and Mr. Manr
were out. but there will be talk

date. the mere fact of his ming a
petition first does not give MN the

affiliations.
II is understood that this contention
is based on section 40 of the Geran
law. which provides that in cases of
factions of parties falling to agree on
party designations the secretary oil
state. or the county clerk in the coun-
ty affected, may himself decide and
select a designation for the different

sonaily before being received in his
