B. Bullock of tile city council, who is also the chairman of the finance committee of that body and who assumes some of the responsibility for placing an expert on the books of City Treasurer and Tax Collector Os wald Lubbock. the accountant is mak ing an annual inspection of the books and was not put to work to harass Lubbock. in whose office a shortage of $570 was discovered recently and later made good by the treasurer-tax col lector. "As chairman of the finance com mittee of the city council," said Presi dent Bullock, "it is incumbent upon me to fcp that the financial accounts of the offices under the control of the city council are correct and regular. if I did not see that this was so I would be derelict in my duty and would not be complying with my oath of office. "The exporting of the books of the : r^asurer-tax collector that is now be ing done at the instance of the finance ronmitfe is an annual proceeding. In the investigation that the committee of the city council and a certified accountant made of the books of that office, we did not go into any tiling but the accounts of the unappor lioned moneys. We are not having the books exported now with the expecta tion of finding any discepancies In the office of the treasurer-tax collector, and I hope that no discrepancies \u25a0will be difceovrrod.'' City Treasurer Lubbock is not pieascd with the placing: of an expert on his books and construes the action as a reflection on his integrity. He said: "1 contemplate writing a letter to the city council and tolling the mem bers of that organization just what I think of this continual experting and what I think of come of the members of the city council. If I decide to write the letter I will certainly say something in it that will open some body's eyes."

Bunker, superintendent of schools, when the matter was brought before that body. He" said, however, that if the council called a bond election and the people voted the necessary money the school board would co-operate in the work. Mrs. Thomas Seabury and other club women were present at the meeting to ask for the Indorsement of the kinder garten movement, but owing to the ab sence of Director Roy Young no action was taken. Bunker pointed out that the estab lishment of a kindergarten in face of keen competition would curtail the work of other departments and wouUl therefore work a hardship. He said: "If a kindergarten is undertaken in this city I would strongly urge that it be organized on" such a basis that ef ficient work can be expected and re quired. Much of the work now passing under the name is exceedingly poor. The first step would be to secure a woman of training and experience and competent to lay out the work along sane and progressive lines." Bunker figured that a fund approxi mating $50,000 would be necessary for the maintenance of a kindergarten for three years. .
