REPORT ON CITY ACCOUNTS
Slate Examiner Find Them as a Eule
in Good Condition.
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. Deck Salooa Knjolned.
Judge Wheeler In the district court yes
terday issued a temporary Injunction on
the application of County Attorney Hess,

saloon outside the enclosure at Lake Man
awa, from selling Intoxicating Ibjuor. The
temporary Injunction will remain In force
until the trial of the case upon Its merits,
at which time the county attorney will ask
for a permanent Injunction. Testimony was

THE ALCOHOL in beer is a trifle only per cent.
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.
