RUMOR SPREAD
IN CONNECTION
With ELECTION
Cole Rules All Pay
rolls In Future Must
Be Signed BY Com
missioners.

All pay rolls Of the city In the
future must be approved by the
commissioner in whose precinct
the expenditure Is made before the
vouchers are signed by the mayor.
This position was taken by Mayor
A. b. Cole at a meeting of the city
commission Friday morning when
he handed letter to City Manager
A. <. Munday, instructing him that
procedure would be followed in the
future.
Mayor Cole explained he was
taking that position to disprove
statements on the street that the
pay roll Of the city was being pad
ded at present as a political move
to secure votes.
Opinion Asked
The mayor stated MS stand after
considerable discussion about pro-
posed extension OF storm sewers.
He insisted that all work OF this
nature be held in allegiance for the
present.
1T take this pasition," Mayor
Cole said, "for two reasons. One
Is that the city has no money at
present with which to carry on
the proposed work and the other is
because it is being said on the
streets OF Brownsville that obs are
being created to obtain votes"
Commissioners ]. G. Starck asked
City Attorney II. 3. Galbrath for
an opinion as 10 whether 1t was
necessary the pay rolls be signed.
Galbraith said IL could be made re-
gular procedure By vote or the
commission. but Mayor Cole ex-
planned no such action was ne
cesSary as he would refuse TO sign
vouchers for pay rolls unless they
had been approved by the COM
missioner in whose department the
work had been done.
No Accusations
Understand. I am not accusing
anyone of 7 .dding the nay roll Of
the city" the mayor continued. Il
am taking this position for the uro-
lection OF all members of the COM
mission.
Commissioner Burt E. Hinkley
made statement concerning the
matter and asked that II be pub
lished in The Herald. The citv
sexton came to me some time ago
and asked for three men 70 helm
him clean up the city cemetery. I
authorized him to put them 70
work. They worked three days and
the sexton came back to me and
asked that he be allowed to retain
the men one month. I refused 70
allow this and told him TO lay them
off. No other special labor has
been done in my department"
Commissioner ]. q. Cobolini ex-
planned that a few extra men are
being used at the city wates plsnt
at present because 1t was necessary
to thoroughly clean the filterinE
plant.
This was necessary 10 meet re-
ulirements OF the state and fede-
raj health departments" Cobolini
said. The water already is show
ing improvement as q result of
the Work being done and q great
improvement VIII be made In 30
days"
Starck Objects
He explained the work was being
done under supervision OF Chester
Cohen. a water engineer and fl
teration expert loaned to the city
by the state department for that
purpose.
Commissioner Starck at first said
he would refuse TO sign the pay rolls
because he considered 1t a political
move. but later agreed he would
comply with the ruling CT the may
or.
Commissioner A. g. Hipp did not
enter into the discussion only tc
state that no special work was be-
ing done In his department.
