EXPERTS' BILL IS ALLOWED
Council raises Measure After Sharp
r Exchange.
After holding it up for months the
Council yesterday allowed the bill of
.11567 presented by Clark & Buchanan,
a firm of expert accountants employed
by Mayor T-.ane to examine the records
Of the City Auditor's department. The
Council also passed over the Mayor's
veto the ordinance authorizing; the
Mayor and City Auditor to employ
Geora-e S. Black, the expert accountant
selected by a committee of citizens, to
make a similar investigation.
The allowing: of the bill of the ex
perts pave the Councilnien an oppor
'mltv to engage Jn a wrangle. Several
of the Councilman at first seemed de
termined to prevent the payment of
the bill, but finally upon the advice of
City Attorney McNary who held that
the city was obliged to pay it, the bill
was allowed.
Councilman Sharkey revived the
fight by recalling the report of the
ways and means committee, which rec
ommended that the bill be paid. Coun
cilman Masters made a motion that the
report of the committee be amended
to read "that the bill be not allowed,"
then the oratory began to flow.
Martin L. Pipes, a lawyer, appeared
before the Council on behalf of the
experts and asked that action be taken
on the bill. lie did not ask that It be
allowed but merely urged action, as
much as saying that unless the money
was forthcoming the city would have
a lawsuit upon its hands.
Masters and Beldinc urged that the
claim be not allowed as they contend
ed that It was not reasonable and
that the books had not been experted
in a proper manner. Vaughn delivered
a sarcastic speech in which' he remind
ed his brethern they had discharged
the special committee appointed to in
vestigate the report and that they
were then guessing over what the
committee had been trying to find out.
Vaughn went on to say that he
would not make any report either as
Councilman or Individual, but when he
explained his vote, which was cast for
the payment of the bill, he virtually
made an admission. He said that
one of the things the Council had
wanted the special eommtttee to ascer
tain was whether it was necessary in
properly expecting the books of the
City Auditor's office to count the cash.
He said that Mr. Black, the other ex
pert, when he had experted the books
of the county, did not deem It essential.
Councilman Wills urged that the
bill be allowed, saying that while he
believed the city had been imposed
upon he could see no loophole. - "It's
outrageous but we can't help our
selves," lamented Wills.
City 'Attorney McNary said that
whether the bill was exorbitant was
not to be considered as he thought the
Mayor bad the power, to employ the
expert and that he was the one to de
cide whether the claim was Just. Ten
of the Councilmen voted yes and five
no. Rushlight, one of the members of
the discharged special committee, vot
ed no, which was a surprise to every
one. The vote was: Ayes Annand,
Bennett. Dunning, Gray, Kellaher,
Menefee. Shepherd, Vaughn. Wallace.
Wills. Noes Belding, Masters. Pres
ton. Rushlight, Sharkey.
There was no discussion when the
Mayor's veto of the Black ordinance
came up. Kellaher. Rushlight and
Vaughn were the only ones to vote to
sustain the veto. Menefee and Sharkey
were absent.
Even though the ordinance was
passed over the veto It is doubtful
whether Black will ever be employed.
The ordinance specified that the Mayor
and the City Auditor be authorized to
employ . the accountant, but Mayor
Lane is not compelled to hire him and
consequently may hold it up."
