This. ordinance s to be submitted to a referendum vote, Mr. Cosgrove says Cleveland has a city examiner and a ‘purchasing agent with the most complete accounting system he has yet come across. The city examiner goes through all reports and accounts of offi- clals and offices of the city, as well as the reports of the varlous corporations paying any sort of tax. The purchasing agent has paid the expense of maintaining his office the first year by securing cash discounts, close prices and through the economical system of handling stationery and other minor supplies. Detroit Renting {ts Streets. Of the existing situation in Detrolt Mr. Cosgrove writes that the street rallway's franchise expired Saturday nuight last and an agreement has been reached by which the company pays $300 a day as street rent uptil & settlement s reached. Under the | old franchise the company paid 1% and 2| per cent of its gross revenues, The Omaha official was surprised to find that no rep- resentative of the city of Detroit checked the books of the company to ascertaln the | amount ‘of revenue, “the city comptroller | and others taking It for granted the Trac- tion company was truly and. accurately reporting its receipts.”” No personal tax was assessed on the company and last year the revenue to the city was about $68,00. Mr. Cosgrove gained the impres- slon the present fight between the city and the company will result ultimately in mu- nlcipal ownership. “They levy two kinds of tax here,” writes the Omaha Investiga- tor, “specific and ad valorem, and to tell you half I have heard on this subject to- day would fill no mean volume." Sinking Fund Commission. In Detroit the sinking fund commission frequently blds In city bonds and sells them to local people in any number from one up. The city bonds draw only 8% per cent, but Mr. Cosgrove says the demand for them by cltizens cannot be supplied. He asserts the system works ex- cellently, Detrolt street rallways are 5 cents and 3 cent lines. Where the nickel is charged the company paves between the rails and elghtecn Inches outside, and repairs and maintalns the same. To the 3 cent lines the city makes the concession of making and maintaining all pavement and con- struction under tracks, with six Inches of ctoncreto under ties. “This arrangement has been very expensive to the city,” says Mr. Cosgrove cost of repairs having run 1o $286,000," He says the requisition and the voucher system used in Detroit is the best ‘e has seen. “When Mr. Cosgrove gets home, in about iwo weeks,” said the city comptroller, “we will have all the information necessary to prepare blanks that will bring us all the levenue the city is entitled to under oc- :upation tax and royalty ordinances.” ORIENTALS, THANK THE CLUB Japanese Write to Commercial Body | Expressing Appreciation of Entertatnment.

Fleharty in the ¢ase of Bil Mat- thews and by J. M. Mactarland for Shel ton, Gelgware, Woods and Torgenson. The grounds for the motion were: First, that Juror MacNamars was & brother-in- law of one of the witnesses for the Fov- ernment; second, error of law; third, ver- diot contrary to the evidence; fourth, evi- dence not sufficient to conviet; fifth, ver- dict the result of prejudice; sixth, verdiet contrary to the instructions of the court. week had reached the jury or some of the members of it before the verdict was re- turned and had consequently influenced the jurors more or le: District Attorney Goss, in his reply to R Hotel Rome BUROPEAN ROME MILLE R the arguments of Mr. Fleharty and Mr. Macfarland, characterized them as, triv- jal and as not being borne out by the wctual facts of the trial.
