funds handled by former City Rec
orded Ed. w. Johnson. who left the

ell: The report was sent from the
office of State Public Examiner
Garfield w. Brown at ST. Paul.
No details concerning the case
were given in the report, although
1t was staed that the discrepancy
was subject to adjustments, which is
taken to mean that the city treas
urer will make check on the miss
ing money by calling in receipts! It
was thought that a part Of the
money may not have, been paid. al
have tended to show that the money
was received.
Aside from the fuel fund no other
discrepancies were found in the
city's books, the examiners report
stated. The financial condition OF
the municipality is in excellent
shape.
Johnson had charge Of the city
fuel department after it was first
organized, and he then handled the
money paid for coal purchased in
the yards. The irregularities were
found in the books kept at that time.
City Attorney John w. LeCrone
was instructed to get into immedi-
ate communication with the bonding
company regarding the shortage az
ter the report was given to the
council last night. The city will not
lose by the missing fund, it was
said, as the bonding company stands
liable if the burden Of proof resting
time He0fs eaTS eeo o to- prove aS
that Johnson received the money.
1t was not known today If the
honding house would make an effort
to find the missing official, but it is
customary to do so, City Attorney
LaCrOne said.
