closest vigilance over bills, for supplies

the wide latitude given to the heads of
departments in purchasing on the open

Contrary to the provisions of the city

tities of materials and supplies to the
city.

City treasurer's bond to school board l
contains objectionable clause tending l^A^iJ^ antWiK
to relieve the Metropolitan Surety com

required to give a larger bond, at least
$400,000. No advances on salaries
should be allowed. Beceipts on pay
rolls should be required. Council should
not require city treasurer to advance
funds for purchase of supplies.
The city treasurer should give a bond
as treasurer of the sinking fund. Park.
certificates already paid should not be
listed as cash. City bonds should not
be purchased in anticipation of wants
of sinking fund.
City Controller.
The new system of accounting is
briefly reviewed and approved as the
proper system and a decided improve
ment over the former indefinite and
complicated and practicallv meaning
less system of former years. the
present uniform and interlocking sys
tem the annual balance sheets now have
a real value.
The controller should exercise original
.iurisdiction over all interest payments
and his miscellaneous receipts journal
should contain all cash receipts.
The statement of bonded indebted
ness should show certificates of in
debtedness issued by the courthouse and
city hall commission and bonds of
School District No 132 absorbed by
Minneapolis. The bonded indebtedness
is thus $10,182,185.37 instead of $9,884,-
000. The city is within its legal limit,
however.
Nineteen vouchers are criticized as
not being properly itemized or are irreg
ular in other ways, but the showing is
most satisfactory in view of the aaiount
of business transacted.
The council should require the con
troller to notify heads of departments
when an appropriation is exhausted in
order to prevent deficits.
The council should not order improve
ments in anticipation of payment of
assessments, but should comply with
the charter and wait until the funds
were actually in the hands of the city
treasurer.
Deficits are reported as follows: Cur
rent expense fund for years 1904 and
1905, $36,325.18 of which more than
$24,000 is in lighting fund ward, street
and sidewalk funds, $14,126.04 revolv
ing fund, 1905, $11,725.65, for 1906 (es-
timated) $45,725.65. Reference is made
to the old deficit of $568,077.36 due to
various irregular proceedings during
the last twenty years.
Double Salaries.
The superintendent of the poor draws
a salary of $1,200 as secretary of the
board of charities and corrections, and
$600 as superintendent. earns the
joint salary, but it is not legal.
The deputy assessor draws $1,800 as
deputy, $150 as clerk to the board of
equalization, and $95 per month on a
sprinkling contract in the fourth ward.
The sealer of weights and measures
draws $1,800 as sealer and $150 as I
clerk of the board of equalization.
The license inspector draws from $20
to $25 per month for overtime.
Thirteen street commissioners draw
$900 per year as commissioners and
from $8 to $60 per month for supervis
ing street sprinkling.
All these payments are in direct vio
lation of the charter.
Rebates on Special Assessments.
This subject is rather exhaustively
treated. Claims aggregating $61,000
have already been made and these pay
ments constitute a great injustice to the
taxpayers as they are collected by gen
eral taxation. Unpaid claims aggregate
$178,118.02 for which $6,500 has been
provided, not counting $50,000 recently
transferred to the revolving fund from
the sinking fund. Further payments
by the city council should be resisted.
Attention is called to the fact that 90
per cent of the claims are filed ty C. A.
Nimocks, the applications containing an
assignment of the claim or power of
attorney. Mr. Kerst raises the point
whether there is any excess for sewers
levied anywhere in spite of the Pills
bury decision. The engineer is justified,
in arriving at the cost of sewers, to
take into consideration the cost, of the
sewerage system of the city, which cost
a trifle over $5,000,000 for 1,000,000
feet of sewer, or an average of $5 per
foot.
Streetcar License Receipts.
Considerable attention is given to the
matter of receipts from streetcar
licenses of $25 per annum for the "av-
erage number of cars operated." The
company paid a license on 181 cars in
1902. The next year the number was
reduced to 164, then to 151, and last
year to 145. "In view of the increased
mileage and shortened time schedules,
the new lines opened and new rolling
stock, vastly increased traffic earnings,
the returns of the company showing an
nually decreased number of cars, appear
to require investigation." I is ex
plained that the controller's difficulty
in arriving at the average number of
cars operated could be obviated by re
quiring the company to file an annual
statement of the actual cars in daily
use. Inasmuch as the company has
used the motor hour basis in arriving
at the number of cars in operation, it is
interesting to find that the motor
hour statistics show an annual

Dilatory Tactics of Electric Companies
Stir Aldermen to Action and Now
Something Must Be DoneFigures
Will Be Obtained on Cost of Electric
Light and Power.
After dallying with the overhead
wire problem for years, the council
last evening put its foot down hard
and passed a resolution directing the
removal of all poles and electric wires
in streets on which new paving has
been ordered for this year. If the va
rious companies desire to occupy these
streets they must provide under
ground conduits before the paving is
laid.
The resolution was presented by
Alderman Charles B. Holmes, and was
inspired by the developments at a
meeting of the special committee on
underground wires neld yesterday after
noon. Bepresentatives of the electric
companies were present, among them
Manager A W Leonard of the General
Electric company. Upon being asked
what the company proposed to do in
the matter of removing the pole lines,
Mr. Leonard stated that the company
could not do more than look after the
downtown district this year, as it had
planned to expend only about $100,000.
Council Ha Say.
Mr. Holmes reminded him that the
council had the power to compel the
removal of pole lines within reasonable
limits, and if the company would not
comply with the order the city engi
neer could be instructed to chop down
the poles. Th people, he stated, had
long ago become weary of the dilatory
tactics employed, and demanded re
sults. He stated that it was no concern
of the council how much the work
would cost the main question -was the
protection of life and property. I
certainly was not unreasonable to re
quire the companies to remove their
poles on paved streets.
No action was taken on the proposed
underground wire ordinance, an ad
journment being taken for two weeks.
At the instance of Alderman Piatt
B. Walker the sum of $500 was appro
priated to defray the expense of secur
ing an expert report on the local situ
ation wit hregard to electric light ami
powers as compared with other cities.
This report will form the basis for an
ordinance granting a franchise to the
Minneapolis General Electric company,
which will follow the general provis
ions of the franchise grajjted a year ago
to the Minnesota. Powe and Trolley
company. A special committee consist
ing of Aldermen A. E. Merrill, Piatt B.
Walker and Wendell Hertig will have
general charge of the investigation. A
committee of the Minneapolis Retail
Dealers' association -will also assist in
the work.
Alderman Perry Starkweather's or
dinance enlarging the authority of the
police in making raids on gambling
houses and places in which gambling is
supposed to be carried on, was referred
to the committee on ordinances.
Some Minor Matters.
The council appropriated $750 as a
premium for the $200,000 surety bond
for the city treasurer and $300 for en
forcing the new express ordinance re
quiring expressmen to report to the
police the destination and the name of
the owner of all personal property re
moved by them. Contracts for 1,000,-
000 sewer brick and 250,000 cement
brick were awarded, the former at $9.25
per thousand and the latter at $8.50.
The city clerk was instructed to ad
vertise for bids for publishing the an
nual report of city officers for 1905.
Bids- were received for tools for the
waterworks department, rubber boots,
lumber, and gasolene for street light
ing. The Standard Oil company offers
to supply 6,000 gallons of gasolene at
10% cents per gallon.
It was decided to cut up the $50,000
put into the revolving fund from the
sinking fund as follows: Paving, $27,-
000 sewers, $15,000 curb and gutter,
$8,000.
