IN DEBT BEYOND THE LIMIT Dae to Fart Aaaesaed Vnlaatlnn Una Decreased Since the Indebtcd nese Haa Beea Incarred by the City. Mayor Maloney received yesterday, a copy of the report of the findings of Oeorge E. Pennell and M. F. Cox, the state ex aminers who recently made an examination of the municipal accounts. The report was made by the examiners to the auditor of slate. The examination made by Messrs. Pennell and Cox covered the transactions of the city from April 1. 19i6, to and Including March 31. 13us. The report includes a de tailed and itemized statement of the re ceipts and expenditures of the various funds. Including those for the maintenance or the public library and public parks. - Attention Is called by the examiners to the fact that the outstanding Indebtedness of the city on March 31. this year was in excess of the constitutional limit. The total outstanding Indebtedness on that date was found by the examiners was $2M.M7.fiD. whereas the assessed valuation of the city for the year 1907-08 Is H.21J.815, and this would make the legal limit of indebtedness, iil". 640.75. The report closes with the following "comments," bearing signature of Mr. Pen nell, the chief examiner: Not much in the way of criticism of the conduct of the affair of Council Bluffs, can be said. Like nearly all cities a few of the .expenditures, perhaps, should not have been made, but were made In good failll. and likely would meet the approval nf their ltis!,.n I u m nitilA - liiul tint ' expenditures of something over U60 to en tertain the Municipal leugue of Iowa was not such an expense as was contemplated by our law makers, or thai when the legis lature authorized the levy of a tax for the maintenance of public libraries tiny had in mind that it would be necessary to de vote such a sum as $275 for banquet pur poses. 1 lie Item of "donation to San Fran cisco" seems to appear in neany every city and Is likely a very creditable mis appropriation of funds. The slate law making It unlawful to In crease the salary of any officer during the term for which he waa elected or appointed ought not to be avoided by the subterfuge of "extra work" or "extra help," when, In fact, no such extra help was employed, but the solo purpose In mind being to Increase the salary of the officer, even to the point of making the compensation In harmony with the services rendered. An examina tion of the above report will disclose the fact that very many warrants seem to have been paid from a different fund than that on which lt was drawn. In every In stance, 1 think this was caused by error In entering on the face of the warrant a dif ferent fund than that against which It was charged In the books of the auditor. In other words the error waa not that of the treasurer. ' The above report shows the rlty to be in debt beyond the legal limit, hut In no large amount, but through the fault of no one, unless it be the assessor. The assessed valuation has decreased since the Incurring of the indebtedness, hut 1 take it that It will only be a short time when the Indebt edness will be brought within the statu tory limit. We are Impressed with the thought that all the officials with whom we came In contact were actuated by a desire to do their work faithfully and con scientiously, and that usually brings auc cess.

The effective ingredients are barley and hops a food and a tonic. Pure beer is both good and good for you. In Germany, Holland, Sweden, Denmark and Austria beer is the national beverage. Nearly all people, of all ages, drink it. And all the world envies their sturdy strength. Every doctor knows how beer benefits. If you need more strength or vitality he will prescribe it. But be careful to choose a pure beer, else you get harm with the good. And select a beer well aged to avoid biliousness. The way to be sure is to order Schlitz. We go to extremes in cleanliness. We even filter the air that cools it. We age it for months. Schlitz has no after STATE COURT IS ENJOINED Federal Tribunal Stops Litigation Over Street Railway Franchise.
