Further Investigation by Mayor Baker into the conditions surround ing the $900 of car tickets which re mained unused in the vault in the city treasurer's office for two or more years developed the fact that these tickets were discovered by public ac countants in making the annual In ventory of the city's assets and were included in the formal report of No vember 31. This report has R,ot yet been sent to the city council. Mayor Baker has a letter signed by Alexander Young of Alexander Young & Co.. accountants, who made the in ventory. in which "he states tha the car "tickets under discussion were in cluded In the inventory of city prop erty made by a representative of his company. The car tickets were stored by an employe of a former commissioner of finance and. so far as can be learned, no record was made to give the pres ent commissioner of finance any knowledge of the presence of the tickets. William Adams, city treasurer. knew of the tickets and told several city employes of the fact. Mayor Baker said yesterday that he felt Mr. Adams should have informed the com missioner of finance of the presence of the tickets because of the fact that the city was borrowing money at In terest and buying car tickets when these- tickets were reposing in the vault. "So far as I can go In the investiga tion thus far I cannot see where any present city employe is entitled to censure for this Incident," said the mayor. " am sorry that the citv treasurer did not display more thoushtf ulness, for, while they were in his possession for safe keeping, he should have told his superior con cerning them." The mayor took occasion to take a fling at the tax commission for "run ning to the newspapers" vwith the "find" before notifying city officials. "I don't believe in stabbing a man in his back." said Mayor Baker. "I hit in the open. If the tax commis sion is attempting to undermine the city. I'd be glad to know it and give them a run for their money." good wages. This is a new occupa tion for Seaside. The bulk of the tish caught in this way are sa.lt water perdh. and fine for table use.
