T a -i m i a ln HIsnnnalnB: the SUb
Ject of monthly reports provided for by
the administrative code, said:
"The administrative code adopted by

provides for the tnaaing 01 mommy

"It appears that there has been no
report filed by the County Auditor of
any kind or character, notwithstanding
the fact that the Auaitor is requirca j
. intatrativn mdtt to make month.
i nn.t Tha Sunerlntendent of
Highways is also within the provision
lor making monthly reports, and has
failed to make any report whatsoever.
-The administrative code provides for
reports to be made by the superintend
ent of the Detention Home. So far no
reports have been made by that offi
cial. The form prescribed for the De
tention Home is quite iuu. orin
tical to that prescriDea ior m "

report, however, has been uniformly
poor. With the exception of a number

total money expended, the report has no
practical significance uuiorci.
"The superintendent of bridges is re
quired to furnish reports under the
administrative code, and beginning
with the month of December reports
fcave been made on the Broadway,
Burnslde. Morrison and Hawthorne
bridges, with the following exceptions:
No report for the Broadway bridge
lor January. February or March; no
report for the Hawthorne bridge for
January. These reports are uniformly
scanty. The provision looking to a
trafflo count on the first day of each
month has been entirely Ignored, and
a number of the items are approxi
mations rather than accurate measure
ments. Ferry Data Lacking-.
"Provision for reports on the fer
ries is also a feature of the administra
tive code. Beginning with the month
of March reports have been had from
the ferries Webster and Mason, ex
cepting that no report for the month
of May is shown on the part of the
Mason. A provision exists for reports
from the other ferries, the Burlington,
St. Johns and Caples. but no report is
shown as to any of them.
"The sealer of weights and measures
Is required to report under the code,
and while his department is of less
comparative importance, two reports
are shown to have been quite fully
executed for the months of January and
February. Since February, however,
no report is shown.
Lark of T"romntnes Xnted.
"In addition to the foregoing there
was filed ln the month of May a re
port from the . superintendent of
machinery with respect to auto-trucks,
also as to the heat and laundry account
of the County Hospital, and the opera
tion of the rock quarries: also as to
elevator and engine-room ln the Court
house. These reports have been pre
pared with considerable care and give
information which is both interesting
and valuable.
"It is unfortunate that such reports
have not been tiled earlier than the
month of May. Generally It may be
aid the administrative code calls for
the fifing of these reports not later
than six days after the end of each
month. The practice seems to be to
file these indifferently at any time after
the end of the month, even as late
as the middle of the succeeding month.
This is especially noticeable in the
.reports of the County Hospital.
"It may be said further that the
spirit which has prompted the adoption
of the administrative code is not com
1'Iied with In the scanty and unsatis
factory reports shown."

Suddenly came a lull. The boat slowed
to a gentle roll. The wind was hot.
Finally the muse appealed to J. a.
Eddy and, with no other "copy paper"
than the back of a real estate card
handed around by, S. B. Hendricks, man
ager and editor -of the Roseburg Re

lines:
"On the Yaquina we gracefully glide.

Our skipper a Doctor, our pilot a Belle,
The passengers, mostly, minions of

The cemetery is under the direct con

about $6500 since 1912.
Among the improvements made was
the cutting of grass and weeds, under

and shrubbery. This cemetery was
