Tile matter of exporting tbu city's books In still in the hands of the committee, and ac tion on the mniter of lighting con liacts was postponed until Inter in the week, although both of the sub jects were thoroughly discussed. The: question of the city boundaries was discussed at length; the resignation; of Councilman Henderson, to take1 place the fast of tills month received; the regular compliant of the street. coniiniLiee against the stre-'tcar com pany. Contractor Ulckma. appeared alter his Sli.V), and a dozen and one other things mentioned,' most of which have been thrathed over before. Tho question of experimenting the; city books was opened by a report from the committee having this in j charge. This committee recommend-; eil that inasmuch as the cost of a professional experter employed from i the outside would bp excessive, and 1 that they had had difficulty In se curing a local party willing to do the work, the ICugene hanks ench furnish nn accountant, these three men, paid by the city, would account the city records for at least four years back. S. H. Friendly then brought forward a petition with a long list of signatures, claiming to represent the Citizens' League of Eu ueno, and usklng to have the city books accounted for the past 0 to 8 years by some professional account ing firm, not Interested In Kugene, tiffulrs. M. M. Davis spoke In ex planation of this proposition, lie said that the league did not question for one moment the integrltg or the honesty of nny members of the council, city officem or local bankers, j There was the fact that charges had; been made ngalrst certain councils: of the pa::t few .vcr.rs. and It Is the I purpose of having this work done! bo that ;l:la question cannot ho rais ed by any rno. ': '.o purpose, he said, who t: establish r::iro stronglvj the credit nf the city. Councilman I Clnrroll objected to the committee's report, for he m!! iu thought that the period over which tho books were exported should bo at least six or: ton years, but ho wa sin fnvor of! having it done by the locnl banks bocnuso It would coBt less.
