THE DEE has Mtecocdod In unearthing
of tha mucu-lnlkcd of "
portion - "sup-
plcinenlnl report" of the city auditor.
I'o satisfy the pabllo clnmcr what pur *
> orted to bo the report has boon nindo
lublic , but it now appears that the pub-
Ishcd part was only a fragment , a vnlu-
tblo pottion of it being suppressed. It
coneieted of BUggCAtious mndo by the
auditor , nnd other mutters of financial
ntercst and linpcrtnncu. By giving the
auditor's ' monthly report at ouo time ,
and a part of his supplemental report at
another , .and thus dealing it out ( o the
jublic in driblets , it looks as if the in
dention was not to give the publiffany
pportuuity tu have n connected , clear
understanding of the city's financial con
dition.
The fac's and figures presented In yes
terday's Bui : stirred up the officials
lomewhat. It was remarked by ono that
THE BEB was simply trjing to break
down the city's crtdit , and this excueo
nay bo advanced by others. TUB BEB
do ires to do the very oppoaito to bnili
up the city's credit. It is ntt reeponsl-
blo for the expenditures of the present
council , nnd it docs not bolloro that the
clly can keep its credit up by any r&n-
ccnlment of facts from the public.
Frinknoss inspires confidence. Secrecy
excites distrust. The facts thomsolvcs
are not changed by giving them to the
public to whom they belong , and the true
contsa la ta meet theeo facts manfully ,
and seek to better the future.
It is claimed th.it the city made a great
mittako in throwing up Its old charter
and becoming organized under the now
one. Under the old thcra could bo as
high as 30 mills levied for general city
purposes. Under tlio new organl/.ition
only 10 mills can bo levied , and it seems
that this is not near enough to mcot the
demands.
It may bo interesting in this connection
to give n compsrlton of the various jcars
to far a ] expenditures are concerned , for
general city purposes. While Judio ;
lames wai mayor the expenditures
reached § 59,000. Then whim Mayor
Varghan served hlo flrtt term the ex
penditures rt.ichcd $84,000. This was n
short year , too. In Mayor Bowman's firat
year the expenditures reached $01,000 ,
ind in his second year $77,000. For the
present year , from March 15 to January
Jl , the expenditures have reached $77-
DOO , and at this rate the expenditures ot
the whole year will not bo far from § 90 ,
DOO. This , too , is coupled with the fact
that now nearly all improvements are
paid for by special osjeesmonta , the above
amount being outside of that. Tli9 fig
ure ? are given not to show Mat this city
in a hard financial strait , but to nromo
the very pertinent question : "Whither
aio WB drifting ? "
\Vorlliily Promoted ,
The vacancy caused by the resignation
of 1. M. Treynor , cashier of the Chicago
& Rock Island at this point , haa been
well filled by the promotion of J. A.
Rolf , who ha ? boon assistant caehlor for
EOmo timo. Mr. RoiT Is quite a younj
man to occupy BO responsible a position ,
but his excellent business qualifications
and ability have stood the test of three
years' aervico for the company , and ho
has not only won the confidence and respect
spoct of his superiors and his associates
but outslio of the office ho has won
many , friends , who gladly see him rapid
ly climbing the ladder. Mr. Troynor re
tires from the position alter eight years
connection with the company to engage
in tha carpet buslnecs with Mr. French
mid Mr. Urcutt , as already announced.
IIo leaves tbo oilico in excellent condi
tion and In cxcelldnt hands , and there is
no debt but that Mr. Kofi will fully moot
tbo high expectation , and provo in all respects -
spects a worthy successor.
