With MeiHnl StoOver BANK E PLEADS NO GUILTY 10 EMBEZZLEMENT MKMPIHS. Tcnn., Feb. 12.- Prcsldent C. Hunter Itnlno of tho de funct Mercantile Dank pleaded not Rtilltr to nn embezzlement charge be fore Judge Palmer here today. Ills denial of guilt was a general stirprlso as it had been expected ho would niako a confession and accept a prUon sentenco without fighting. Ills attorneys raised tho point that tho indictment against htm wan defective in that it failed to specify the exact amount of his alleged shortage, which was reported today to exceed $1,000, 000. The prisoner's brother, Gilbert Kalno, editor of the Star-Scimitar, reconciled to hi in by his trouble after a long estrangement, was with tho "former in tho courtroom. Pending an application for release on bond tho ex-banker was locked up again. MEDFORD'S MUNICIPAL NEEDS Suney of City by Prof. Simon of tlio Slato rnlv-lty of Orvgou. (Continued from yesterday.) WRGE'COM KILLED (Ornnts Pas- (.'mirier.) There is on exhibition in the dis play window of Hu-li's taxidermM Oitiiblishmcnt the onreu'-i of a lji nonpar killed bv Dell I'lmreliill nnd Mr. Uoss in Cow Creek ennyon. Tlio two vycrc hunting in tlio Cow Creek i-oimtry with old "Keny" Churchill' fiiinmi'. trailer, when attention was attracted to n commotion in the t-nn-yon, nnd tho coupir wn. mhi ju-t in the not of killinj; a young buck leer, probably u two or throo-yonr-old. The do nt ouoe took the trail nnd 1.0011 hnd the ootignr treed, when it was brought down with the rifle. The conjnir i- 72 feel in length, from ti to tip, and weighed 130 pounds. It wns sleek nnd fnt, nt texting thnt ninny deer had been sac rificed to supply its larder. Atten tion wns first attracted to it by the rustling vvhWi it made in tho bu.-hos in killing its last door, I ho doer not yet being dead when the cougar was lirst discovered. .croiintlng Sjstetn Tho city's accounting system 's woefully Inadequate. Tho accounts are not kept In such a manner that one ran tell at n glnnce dally, weekly, monthly, or yearly: 1. How much the city owns 2. How much tho city owe. 3. The llablllt) of tho city on un filled orders, contracts, olo. I. Tho balance of appropriations mioxpotutott or tho balance unencum bered. 6. How much tho city spends for salaries, supplies, equipment, repairs, debt service or flveil charges. C. How much tho various city de partments cost the city each year. 7. Whether bills prosonted ono month have boon previously paid. Nhm1 for a Complete Inventory f City Property At tho present time there Is no complete record showing how much proportj the city owns. Tho superin tendent of the water department and tho street commissioner Keep a list or the tools used In their departments on a sheet of paper, but there Is no property ledger maintained In tho re corder's offleo by which to establish control over all other departments In which nil now equipment and pur chases of the city might bo entered. Tho books of tho city do not even show tho number of street lights, classified as to kind, which the city maintains and pays for each month. Tho only record which tho city has Is found on the bill which the electric light company renders monthly. While the auditing committee of the council is supposed to check up the number of lights charged for on the bill by actual count each month, jet the city has no legal evidence whatever as to tho number of lights for which It should pay monthly. Tho city shoul I Install a property ledgor Immodlatolv and an Inventory of all land, build ings, equipment, and personal prop erty should be made. The Inventory should show not only the cost of tho equipment or property, nnd tho date of purchase, but tho estimated life of the property so that the cost of re placing It could be foreseen and al lowed for in making up tho financial program of tho city Liability Accounting No charges arc made against funds until goods havo been delivered and a bill reaches the recorder's office. In many casci, tho first information ho has that a purchase has been made and a liability Incurred ngalnst the city Is when tho bill Is prcnontod for payment. It Is evident that then It I too late to exorcise any control what ever over expenditures and thereby prevent officials from Incurring debts in excess of tho annual appropria tion Should Set l'p Hocrvcs Proper administration of appro priations demands that whenever n purchase order Is Issued or a contract certified, the actunl or estimated amount thereof shall bo charged Im mediately ns an Incumbrance on tho appropriation nunlnst which It Is li suod. It then acts as a reserve to Insure tho retention of n sufficient balance on tho account to take care of tho Invoice or bill when rendered. This Is the only svstom by which tho oart condition or such authorisations may bo correctly ascertained and de part moats prevented from over In cumbering; tho amount allowed them. Uopait mental Accounts Tho books kept by the recorder do not show how much Is spent for sul-arlc-s. supplies. oqulptuBiit. repairs, or debt service for ouch department or for all department. Swell Informa tion can only b obtained after a Iens: and tedious examination of ovorv bill audited ilurlnw the jenr. It Is a rundamcotal principle of accounting that any account which 'has to l-, nnalyiod In ordsr to arrlt at ls significance Is worth!. The records should be so kept as to rVonl at n glanct Information such as thts which Is of primary Iroimrtnnce. In the ab sence of knowledge regarding tho amount and character of supplies an ! equipment purchased during the year, there Is no means of knowing the sav ing which might be effected by pur chasing supplies and tools in quanti ties or under contract. The books do not show how much each department of tho city costs and hence it has no basis for comparlni; Its expenditures with that of other cities of similar site. It Is suimestoJ that tho council seriously consider departaientlslHg the workMf the city so as to conform to the grouping of function adopted by the United States census In Its report on tho statistics of cities, and in this way It will b possible to make compari sons betweon the expenditures of .Mcdford and other cities of similar size. Xoetl for n Claimant's Ledger At tho present llmo the only way to find whether a bill presoutod ono aionth has been previously paid Is to look through all tho audited claims or to rely upon tho memory of tho recorder. A lodger should be Install ed which would show tho financial standing of every Individual or firm with which the city engages In busi ness, how much is duo the firm, and whon the account was paid. This would enable tho olty to pay Its bills promptly and thus secure tho usual trade discount. Slnco tho Installa tion of such a lodgor In auditor's of fice of Multnomah county the amount received by way of discounts wjs inoro than tho auditor's animal sal ary. Furthermore It will prevent the city's paying tho same bill twice, which might easily happon under tlnj present arrnngomont.
