Reports Delayed.

Mr.. Hart seems to agree with the
citizens tax rate committee which re-
ported in favor of 81 tax rate last
August. But he gees much further,
He calls attention to the laXness In not
making either monthly or quarterly bal
Rnces, to the failure to make even the
financial reports required by the city
charter, to the months of delay in max
ing up the city's annual budget, and
to hundred other details.
in effect, he intimates that he has
tried to get some cooperation between
the city departments and some efficienv
cy, but that he has failed through lack
of support from the mayor and com
missioners He does not say so in 50
MANY words, but the quotations above
carry that lntimation forcefully,
Right now, under new ordinance,
the department heads are supposed to
be figuring on their expenses for the
year and trying to find out how their
budget allowances are holding out, but
1t is said that several hundred thousand
dollars must be borrowed to tide the
city over to the first of the year
An audit would seem to be needed
hut probably the ,'tangle,' as Mr. Hart
himself terms It, will be just passed
along to the new city administration
Wherefore II Is In order, perhaps, foI
some of the gentlemen who were de-
feated candidates in the recent elec-
tion to give thanks on Thursday fol-
that fact, in view. of the work that Is
ahead for those gentlemen who wert
elected.
