CITY COUNrlL NOTES

The great sensation over 'clty lreaS-
ury "looted" by the treasurer and his
predecessor seems to have fzzled away.
The two young men seem to have been
misinformed as to their rights to in
terest on public funds and both have
made good the shortages from this
source found by the state auditors
The result of the report of the audit
ors was the adoption of a resolution
providing for contract with the state
tax commission for an annual audit.
The mater of auditing the books of
the utilities department for the years
1917, 1918, 1919 and 1920 is also be

later on that.
The new city hall, remodeed from
the Victoria hotel, at Ninth and Frank

5H per cent bonds in the sum OF $75,-
600 to pay for the building. They will
be denominations Of $500 and will ma
ture serially for ten years.
The special committee which had
charge of the remodeling, Thompson,
Bouril, O'Donnell, Reyolinsk, and
Drumm, was discharged.
Today is public visiting day at the
new city hall.

not completed due to inability to get
cement among other causes, The Gas
company came in for some criticism
for not laying its mains on some streets
which it is desired to pave
The streets to be paved, in addition
to the unfinished 1920 work are Clark
street and Western avenue from Thir-
teenth street to the west city limits,
the block Of Thirteenth street between
Franklin and Washington streets, and
tn part North Seventh street between
New York avenue and Pine street lie

council allowed a claim of Lcathem &
Smith of Sl9ill for damage to a
