WENTWORTH BODY
ASKS TRACK REPAIR
Frequent Street Car Acct
dents Held Public Menace
by Citizens Group.

Alleging that the frequent Jumping
Of tracks" by street cars on the Kenil-
worth line Of the Washington Railway
& Electric Co. constitute q menace to
public safety, the Kenilworth Citizens
Association last night adopted a reso-
luton recommending that steps be
taken to repair the car tracks on Ken
ilworth avenue. The meeting of the
association was held in the Kenilworth
School.
S. X Murphy, q member of che as
ISOLATION, informed the members that
the cause of the street cars leaving the
tracks might be attributed to the
"snakelike" curves in the trackage. The
condition is especially dangerous, he
said, in view of the fact that the cars
pass directly in front Of the school,
where children are often at play.
The cooperation Of both steam and
electric railroads in cleaning up ap-
ration for the 1882 George Washington
Bicentennial celebration was asked by
the civic group. A resolution COM
mending the Pennsylvania Railroad for
its work in improving its property from
the Benning Bridge to the District line
was adopted by the body.
A proposal that bridge be built
across the Eastern Branch Of the Ana
costa River at Eastern avenue to con-
meet with the proposed Anacostia
Parkway, was contained in another
resolution adopted by the association.
The recommendation will be made TO
the District Commissioners.
The meeting was presided over by
John S. DriggerS, president OF the as
ISOLATION.

Wishy-washy sparkling beverages

informed local hosts and hosteSses.
News has recently been going the
rounds of a new kind Of sparkling
drink, drenched with a delicious
blend of rare imported fruit 1aVors,
which sparkIes for hours after 1t Is
poured. It is bottled at remark
able spring in the Blue Ridge Noun
tains, combined by q secret process
with the only absolutely air-free
water known to man. This pure
water seems to mellow the flavor
blend.
Served alone or mixed with other
beverages, this lively. tang-y drink
has made many local parties success
full this season. The new beverage Is
called Cloverdale Lith-A-Limes ana
is now on sale at local stores. Guests
who have tried it say that there Is
something about Lith-A-Limes that
Is actually tantalizing to the taste.
Clever hosts and hostesses agree
that it is already the favorite drink

THE HALIBUT SITUATION

At this writing, the first week of June halibut prices are at 6 and 3 cents with most of the buy- CTS not in the market. At Juneau there is only buyer.
 It is an established fact that at prices less than 10 cents the fishermen cannot even hope to make wages. Last month we declared the sit- uation to be in the hands of the fishermen Only by curtailment of production can the market be stabilized
 Some day the balibut fisherman will waken to the fact that after all he is only fisherman and that his salvation is in helping the other branches of the industry to secure laws which will permit the earning of decent wage

SALMON PRICES

Last November king salmon prices were up to 27 cents per pound This spring they dropped to 12-7-4 and now they are 10-6-3 at tho dock and 8-4-2 on the grounds. The Alaska Trollers As sociation at Port Alexander has ordered a strike. We are not in sympathy at this time with the strike order. The organization is only half bak- ed and too loose in it's administration Too many foreign trollers are in Alaska who are not mem" bers too many Alaska trollers have not enjoyed the condolences of this organization, and lastly, it is not large enough to control the situation. The buyers will stand pat. They have the money and they have the markets and after all is said and done and the salmon all gone bye-bye, what will have been accomplished?
 Our sympathes are all with the men who fish for a living but that does not blind eyes to the exact condition of affairs. man unpre- pared nation unprepared to wage a long siege in battle need not expect to win by soaring the other fellow.
 The leaders should first spread the organiza- tion and get complete strength and then take decisive step. But so long as they are weak in membership and many of the members are weak in financial reserves the strike at this time is futile

that the office was authorized and established
 During the 16 years when the eeritory func- toned without auditor, all that was required to authorize withdrawal of funds from the treasury or, indeed to create deficit, was ap- proval of the head of the department for which the money was wanted In consequence, the re- cords show instances of expenditures of funds for which there was no authorization in law
 When the auditors office was established, his duties were defined. Under them, he could not issue warrants unless they were for expenditures that were authorized by law and that were sup ported by proper vouchers ,. ,....
 The exercise of his powers ran counter to the loose methods of the old system, To illustrate in one instance, the auditors office was compelled under the law to refuse to issue warrant re- quested by the office of the commissioner of education. The commissioner had not attached to his voucher, which requested that the treas urer of the territory transmit funds to the treas urer of the school board, the supporting figures or copy of the school board treasurer's bond notwithstanding the law creating the auditors office made these requirements obligatory
 That the auditor was right in this instance is evidenced by Senate Bill No. 76 in the recent legislature, providing that the bond of the treasurer of school board and a duplicate of the budget of a school board shall be filed with the auditor
 Of course refusal of the auditor to issue warrant never constituted final disposition of the rejected claim Claimants could proceed in courts of law. But to afford speedier adudica- ton ot disputed claim than can be obtained in court the last legislature created a board of examiners consisting of the governor, the treas urer and the attorney general to pass upon any claim disallowed by the auditor and the board is given power to instruct the auditor as to his action in the premises. Even this enactment however, does not release the auditor from responsibility on his bond
 The auditor is bonded for $25 900 for the faith

 The auditor is bonded for $25000 for the faith full discharge of his duties. Under the criminal law, he is liable to maximum fine of $10,000 or maximum imprisonment of two years, or both, for false or fraudulent acts in connection with his official conduct
 His duties are clearly defined by statute They are plain. Against the treasury whose only re- source is taxation of the people, he cannot draw warrants unless they are supported by proper
