Councilman Sacchi urged that steps be taken now to systematize the city's business.

He said also that vouchers should be provided for purchasing supplies to know just what tho city was paying for. Mayor Straw said that he appointed Councllmen Nasburg, Fla nagan and Sacchi as a committee to arrange the new system. To Fix Salaries. Councilman Sacchi urged that steps be taken to fix salaries of city officials so that the council would know what the actual expenses for the ensuing year would be. In this connection, Councilman Lockhart had an animated discus sion with J. B. Butler, the city recorder-elect. Mr. Lockhart said that It was understood that Mr. Butler would run the city recorder's office for $75 per month. Mr. Butler said that he' had, not agreed to do any thing of the kind. Mr. Lockhart said that F. M. Friedberg speaking for the Citizens' League had said Butler would. Mr. Butler said that Mr. Friedberg wasn't running his affairs, pme caustic reflections were expressed by Mayor Straw, Councilman Nasburg about Mr. Friedberg and Butler replied that Friedberg was better than a lot of othors. This discussion did not come up in the council meeting but occurred immediately after the council had adjourned. Routine Business.

He said that ho was in favor of issuing $75,000 In bonds. He said that the past year, the municipal tax had no', been used to pay off warrants but that the funds had been used' other wise illegally. He said that Baker City and other municipalities had as high as $400,000 bond issues. Councilman Sacchi said that he did not care what bond issues other cities had and that just because they hod made mistakes, he wasn't In fa vor of Marshfleld making them. Finally Councilman Lockhart fig ured out a five-mill levy would bo ample and he and Councllmen Sav age, Nasburg and Flanagan express ed themselves in favor of it. Sac chi wanted to moke it eight mills and he said that if a small levy was made, the coming council would simply have to curtail expenses. Mr. Lockhart moved that the levy for the ensuing year be made five mills and Mr. Flanagan seconded it, Mr. Sacchi wanted to postpone actlpn a week but Mr. Lockhart said he would be out of the city. Finally It was submitted to a vote and all of tho councllmen voted In favor of it. Report Not Olllclnl. The report made by Wilson Kauf man to the city council was not in the nature of an official document but was merely a statement to give the members some Idea of how mat ters stood financially. The appor tionment of the various items of ex pense and receipts was made from the best sources at hand but the sta tement was a rough one simply to show In a general way how th' money had been spent. The totals I owover, are correct. The renurt covered the first eleven months of 1908. The expenditures do not in clude Interest on warrants as theso figures could only be gotten from the city treasurer and were not ob tainable when the hurried statement was made. Mr. Kaufman stated the total expenditures for tho eleven months not including the warrant in terest amounted to $25,029.37.' The total receipts' were $14,275.82. The average monthly deficit was $1, 059.41. This makes a total doflcit for the oleven months of $11,053.51. Of this amount, Mr. Kaufman says about $8,000 was expended for the city's share of the asphalt pavement and street improvements, for tho 'X' street ferry landing, city hall and jail. tf8JtftfS3QSSSefc sungs Diamonds set with Turquoise, Rubies, Sapphires and Emeralds Diamond Ear Screws Two Good Policies f With Many Other Combinations Red ' Cross Drug l-Stoire 1 A --- V to have is one upon your Life and the other upon your Property.
