changed Ithnamu to George Washing
tOi university He was admitted to
the bar of the District of Columbia tho
sauna year of his graduation and three
years later waa admitted to practise In
the supreme court ot the United States
Hitchcock cUmn to this voteless com
munity Immediately after his gradua
tion from Harvard taking I position in
the agricultural department where It
waa his business to tel an expectant
public Just how many bushels wheat
or corn had heel shipped t foreign
marts how ninny hogs had died in
transit and Incorporate In statistical
reports a lot of other Information val

with authority to Inspect the report
submitted by Auditor Orson P Humcl
and said committee was also delegates
to Inquire Into the objections made tt >
any part of said report by tho former
officers o this district with a view of
making suitable recommendations for
the adjustment of tho accounts In Mil
district We have carefully performed
tho labor assigned to us and have boon
In session for many weeks at whiten
meetings the Interested parties have
been present and given full opportunity
to present their claims In their own
way and so far aa wo know to their
CHI satisfaction and wo have sluice
such hearings considered each of the
claims with absolute fairness and Im
partiality
In making the necessary Investiga
tion in connection with these hearings
your committee has acted upon tho as
sumption that thi taxpayers of this
district desire I statement of the ultimate
mate facts In each case without going
Into details and whether such facts
are contained In the hooks of the dis
trict or can be obtained from an >
other source We have also assumed
that tho taxpayers are more Interested
In tho financial and physical success
of the canal than they are In tho crit
icism of any person whoever he may
be or of any methods that are past
nnd gone except that such methods
must not bo repeated in the future
BASIS FOR UECOMMENDATIONb
For I Ii ace reasons wo hnre proceeded
with our Investigation nnil have made
our recommendations upon the follow
ing basic principles and none others
I Every person having In his pos
session money belonging to the district
or any debts owing to the district mUst
Immediately return such money to the
treasurer and pay such d btB And
In the event of failure to do cither of
these things steps should Immediately
be taken to compel such action
b Money or proceeds received by
any person from distrIct funds obtain
ed contrary to statutory provision
whereby losses Imvci been caused to
tho district must he refunded by such
person S
c While the district should not
tnko advantage ot mere technical vio
lations of the law such as tho Issu
ance o warrants beyond the debt lim
it or the Issuance o them lot II
strict conformity to law Nor that ad
vantage should ho tolel of the mero
lack of Judgment want of Incompe
tcney mistaken Interpretation of law
yet wherever such action has been
financially detrimental to the district
or whore tho district has not received
actual value for the amount o such
warrants or obligations Incurred or
where such violations have resulted to
the advantage o the Individual then
we thlnlc tho gulltv person should
recompose the district
FACTS KNCOUNTERUD
With those basic principles as our
guide wo find the following facts nail
make the following recommendations
I We find that tho correctness ot
thn figures contained In the auditor
report has not been disputed by any
person
2 AVe find that tho taxpayers hit
explicit confidence In tho officers of
tho district and that In turn the officers
ficers confided most o their business
to their secretary nnd to their deputy
treasurer and that in the discharge of
tint official duties of such officers
there have been many IHUlCOUbAHI

HWHAT CAN I DOT
SAYS THE MAYOR
Situation Over the Appointment
Of a Fire Chief is Some
what Embarrassing
MR BRANSFORDS ATTITUDE
Sitys There Is Xo Truth In tile llcport
That He IntcmlM to liuuitgo
UN AHnd
A report gained some credence today
that Mayor John S UrnnsCord had re
ccdrd from the stand taken by him In
lie matter of thn appointment ot n
chief of the lire department and was
ready to fall Into line with tins put
suatlets of the Amerlcoji party
There was no truth however in thin
rumor as at noon his honor was stand
ing pat and hud no Intention of chang
ing his mind In the promises His ex
pressed himself to tho effect that ho 1
was acting wholly as his conscience
dictated anil lu saw no good reason
why ho should back down at this or at
any other time
Mayor Bransford said that tho last
tlmo he had seen Counellmen Mai tin
and Itcdall to talk with them on thu
subject both oxprosBed I determina
tion to stand by him and therefore
the altitude assumed by them last
night was a surprise to him Some one
utideavoied to take an undue advan
tage In Iho prnmlsoH by reporting that
the change of front on thc part ot
men pledged to Dovlnes support had
the sanction of tho mayor Melt who
were busy spreading such rumors were
cornered In anterooms during the coun
cil session and the false statements
were nailed but not bofoie the In
tended effect had had Its Influence
What will I do queried Mayor
Branaford when Interrogated on the
subject What can I do The coun
cil will not confirm the men who In the
minds of the great majority are best
qualified for the position of fire chief
Last winter I was told by tho Ire un
derwriters that If I would appoint a
certain man to tho place tho Insurance
rates of Salt Lake would bo reduced
2 u ixjr cent I soon found that If 1
appointed the man ho would never be
confirmed Then I made choice of Mr
Dovlne with the sanction of the ma
jority of the council and the outcome
was witnessed last night They have no
suitable man to offer In fact only men
tioning one man and I assure the
public that hil name will not be con
sidered by mn Tho situation Is em
barrassing but not more so to mo than
to the men ifsponslblo for tho unorgan
ized condition of tho flit department
coiiRtantly In his possession largo sums
of money belonging to the district and
varying In amount from a few hun
dred dollars to many thousand dollars
per day It Is true that part of this
money was held by him 1 acting
warrants
treasurer for the payment of
payable during the absence of the real
trensuicr or for tho payment of press
ing accounts about to become due But
on tht other hand It Is also true thai
during this same period Mr Hart loan
ed many thousand dollars of this same
money to contractors und others at a
high rate of Interest besides Investing
part of It In the socalled Armstrong
ranch which produced I profit to him
self to treasurer Parkinson and all
persons Interested
S Wo find that nt the present
tlmo and after an adjustment
nmdo by this committee Mr Hart
actually owed to thA district for
money coining Into his hands and not
dispersed by him the sum of 12
SGlbti Mr Hart admits this amount
less the claims hereinafter stated and
his exhibited outstanding warrants of
the district which ho desires to turn
III to the treasury In settlement of
such admitted account
COMMISSION ILLEGAL
9 Mr Hart clnlms that he shouhljm
credited with 5600 being amount paid
hy him to Goo M Cannon as commis
sion for the salo of 50000 worth of
district bonds but the commltteo Is un
able to recommend such an allowance
both because wo aro advised that Ice
payment of commission for tint sale of
bonds Is Illegal and also because this
question Is now In the courts and
should not bo disturbed by us especial
ly as this committee la udvlsnd that the
district will bo able to sucuro Judgment
against all persons who have taken
commliSloiK out of the treasury for the
sale of bonds
10 Mr Hurt also claims ho should
bo credited with 400 being a balance of
notes paid him In warrants 38 33 and
< 0 We think this matter can bo easily
Rcttled by the board of directors and HO
iccoinmend
11 Wo find that the Zlons Having
bank and tilt Amalgamated Sugar com
pany paid par for nil bonds bought by
thorn uteri that without tliolr know
ledge Goo M Cannon nnd Goo c
IarklnBon sooured 10 per cent commis
sion from the district Mr Cannon still
retains such conimlHxlon while Mr
1aikliiHon hUH returned to tho district
the amount colloctod by him 56000

U Wo lint that during tho period
that Mr Hart had dally In his poases

averaging from ovtirul hundred dollars
