Apparent discrepancies in reports About the amount of gasoline turned over at the city's garage to city, auto mobiles is now the subject of municipal investigation. City Auditor Barbur has called for the books and reports so that the proposition can be thoroughly checked over. It has been said of the municipal garage, as it is beiris.- operated, that lax methods exist in the methods of giving out gasoline and oil. and in other vays. The Auditor's office, it is said, has been unable to make re ports showing the amount of gasoline purchased by the city and delivered to the shop balance with the amount fur nished to drivers of city automobiles. Reports Xow Belna Checked The garage is under the management of Commissioner Bigelow and Purchas ing Agent Wood. Mr. Wood says he is now having the man in charge of the shop check over the reports, and he believes everything will show up correctly. A report: of gasoline fur nished to machines was made by Mr. Wood, and failed to balance with rec ords in the Auditor's office. The dif ference is said to be 200 or 300 gal lons. While drivers of city cars are sup posed to sign a dated slip when they get gasoline, this has not been done in al cases, it is said. Slips have been found showing that gasoline and lubri cating oils have been given out in con siderable quantities and the only re ceipt for the delivery has been a dated slip bearing no signature. Record Is Incomplete. These slips show the amount in gal lons of oil furnished, and the date, but there is no indication of the car to which the oil was furnished, and there fore no way of checking up. Under such a system a driver could get any amount of gasoline or oil from the city's tanks without signing up for it, or leaving any record other than that the gasoline or oil was furnished to a machine in a. certain department. It might be any one of a number of -machines. Inquiry may go also into reports which have circulated about the City Hall that privately-owned automobiles are being washed and repaired at the garage. There are some cars of this -type which the City Council has ar ranged to care for in this way as pay ment for the -use of the cars in the city service. However, it is said that there has been work done on cars not in this class. MARKET MAN IS FINED $10 Meat Infested With Maggots Brings Penalty and 'Warning. "For the general protection of the public, I must levy a fine of J10." said Municipal Judge Langguth in passing sentence upon Fred Kolt, proprietor of the Pacific Market, Fourth and Yamhill streets, at yesterday morning's session of City Court.

He notified Market Inspector Melton, who called and looked at the liver. Fifty or more maggots were in evidence at 5:30 in the afternoon. Mr. Melton testified. He Rdded. in justice to Mr. Kolt, that the Pacific Market was one of the cleanest and best kept meatshops in the city and that complaint of this sort had never before been brought against it, to his knowledge.
