several months ago, findings
against former City Clerk Harry
r. Nissen, three present city Off
cials and two former councilmer
are included in the report of State
Examiner Francis Dickson, re
leased this week by State Auditor

When Mr.. Nissen was told by
the examiner that the finding
would be made against him, Mis-

$3.50 was repaid on August 21,
1851.
