THINKS HIS TRIP PROFITABLE Brings Information He Belleves Will He Useful to Comptroller in Sub- ng Plan to the City Couneil. Deputy City Comptroller Cosgrove has Te- turned from his trip of Investigation into munielpal accounting of American cities. Mr. Cosgrove has beern In a dozen states and has met and conferred with the principal accounting officers of about forty different cities. He has gathered a mass of inform: tion and a stack of blanks that he will prove of great value to the city offi- clals of Omaha in framing up the new forms for the occupation tax collections and bookkeeping. “Omaha is really as far ahead as any city in its essential accounting,” said Mr. Cos- groye. “By that I mean our checks on the cadh box are as effective and accurate as any I have seen. There are some methods of distriution, however, that are admira- tle. For instance, here we have four funds —general, sinking, school and water board, In many citles they have a much more ex- tended system of municipal division of funds, by number or letter index, and some divide their moneys differently from ourd plan. Thus, under the head of public safety, will be all the moneys for the fi and’ police departments, and other divisions are made along lines that suggest them- will soon be “I belleve, with the information at hand now, that Comptroller Lobeck and myself to submit a plan or sug- gestion that will commend itself to the mayor and councll. Perhaps we can do this_within ten days or two weeks. “That my trip was worth while wil] be indicated by the fact that, on meeting the tax commissioners of New York state at Albany, 1 wao able to give them some in- formation they considered valuable, be- cause I was fresh from an investigation in several cities that are now dealing directly with problems that were puzgling the New York officials. n the matter of cost to Omaha, for the information gained, this city will fall very much short of what similar work has cost other cities. We get for a few hundred dollars, through the uniform courtesy and hepfulness of a large number of well posted ity officlals whom were inter- viewed, what it cost Baltimore, for In- stance, $0.000 or more. Mayor Mahood told me they pald experts $40.000 for a gen- eral outline of a system that would prevent mishandling of city funds. To bring that system down to detalls and make it work- able, another $10,000; and he expects it will cost $10,000 to §15,000 more before they have the plans all put in operation.” Clocks—FRENZER--15tn and _Dodge.

Mrs, Elsasser, wife of the superinten: dent, is blamed by Miss Higgins' friends for the eirculation of the petition. 1f they have the proof of this, it has not been produced.

How an Inventor once again sacrificed his chance at fortune, sold for a pittance that which would have made him rieh, is demonstrated in the case of W. J.(Polnts, an' employe in the McKeen motor works until death. Points sold his half iIntercst in a patent to a St. Louls man for $0), the sale covering the American rights. Bartholomew Jullen, his assoclate, also let €0 of his American rights, but stands to win 350,00 a year royalties, it is the Buropean rights. Points sold ropean privileges for another pitiance. H. W. McDanlel was first appointed spe- clal administrator of the Ponis estate, but Mr. Jullen, who is general car foreman at the McKeen shops, was named adminis- trator Saturday by Judge Leslle, folldwing & hearing of the contest. There does not seem much likellhood that Points' estate will amount to much now. He left 2,200 in other property. (S The patent involved is that for a device in rear-end car constructon.

Then all those hopes—dashed to pieces by the stop order of the Post Office Department. But ther is no such word as g\ivv-np in our vocabulary. We determined to face the sit- uation. To make the best of it. Even though our estimated profits for the year 1909 were sadly reduced. Our figst notice to music lovers was on last Tuesday. We stated the facts. Told intending piano buyers how our salesroooms were loaded from basement to roof with pianos. We adopted extreme measures. Named prices that proved irresistible. That met with a quick response.

But seven carloads of pianos ordered for the contest, which orders we en- deavored to cancel, were hurried forward to Omaha. Four More Carloads to Be Sacrificed Four of these carloads are here. We are still facing a crisis in our business. We haven’t room for all those pianos notwithstanding the heavy sales of the past four days. It is either sacrifice these pianos as we have sacrificed our other instruments or else pay heavy storage charges to the transportation companies. We are not going to pay the railroad companies one cent more than we are obliged to. When here is on opportunity to offer such instruments a Weber, Steger, Hardman, Emerson, Mehlin, McPhail, A. B. Chase, Wheelock, Stuyvesant, Steck, and the well Known Hand Made Schoioller & Mueller Pianos With the exception of Steinway, at prices from $100.00 to $200.00 below regular retail quo- tations. And to place these instruments in the homes of music lovers, for every piano sol dunder these conditions will be a lasting and effectual advertisement for the house of Schmoller & Mueller It will mark the time when we give to music lovers in Omaha, Nebraska and the West ail of the regular profits we would regularly secure.
