Due the fact that the article, in

Herald, headed “Spirited Fight in

be taken as a re-uctlon on my work,
I feel, In justice to myself, that the
public should have the following state
ment:
My report embodies a complete
statement, for a period of two^ years,
showing all receipts and disburse
ments under the various departments,
compiled from tho various cash rec
ords in the offices of the Treasurer,
Clerk, Tax Collector, and Marshall
atd tho Voucher records, In the
clerks office together with other mem
orandum books. All receipts as
•shown by the various cash records
were checked in detail as a charge
against tho Treasurer and every
voucher taken credit for by the Treas
urer, was checked against the stubs
In voucher records. And these fig
ures verified by the balance on band
aa shown by treasurers record.
I have In my office a complete copy
in detail of the checking, verifying
every figure and shall bo glad to go
over same with any one,interested, or
any 'one doubting the correctness of
my work.
I do not believe that any member
of the present or previous administra
tion can consistently doubt in the
slightest detail the correctness of my
report.
If our present council were in per
fect harmony I feel satisfied that the
report! would have been published
shortly after It was submitted. The
only apparent objection is, that I do
not shdw in ’ Wy report against the
bonded Indebtedness the fixed assets,
in the way of paved streets, water-
works plant, etc. If council desires
these fixed assets added in the state
ment I shall take, pleasure In insert;
