BEAUTIFUL DREAMER
What Are General Funds
For- If Not to Spend?
The song is ended but the melody lingers on . . .!
Elliott’s (Junior’s) era as city manager of F.P. is gone
with the daisies and the daffodils, but there is a sort of
showplace which he was using as an office. It is not used
much now, for Mr. Arrington is using a more convenient
office in front, and entrance to
another Elliott “monument to il
legal and over expenditure of
city funds is reached through
Mr. Arrington’s office.
Incidentally, Mr. Arrington has
a mahagony table with glass top.
It’s big. beautiful. It costs S2O!
Just S2O bucks at an army sur
plus sale. Mr. Arrington has “re
sisted" the “beautiful dreamer,”
Elliott, and had not bought any
thing else.
Now. follow us into Mr. Elliott’s
old pannelled office—a sight, as
you say, for the jay birds!
There is a very nice gold love
seat—and two companion pic
tures resting in corner nooks—
titled: “Enchanted Isle.” Lone
deer gaze in the mist.

course, the paintings, and that

Seems Elliott and two of the
city fellers took a police car and
spent a whole day looking for
“Enchanted Isle” companion pic

at city expense! TRADE AT

Forest Park Work
$79,000 Over
Figures show that when the
Forest Park recreation building
is completed, approximately $79,-
000 will have been spent over the
bond issue, instead of some $134,-
000 as previously reported.
The higher figure was the re
sult of a misevaluation of an
audit report.
This resulted in an earlier re
port that the city spent $74,836.-
81 over the bond issue plus $60,-
000 borrowed from the bank.
The actual amount overspent
is $79,210.19. This includes $60,-
000 borrowed from the bank and
an estimated $19,210.19 needed
to finish the building.
