COUNCIL MEETING
A motion was made that the Auditor make a diligent search and see if he could locate the money due the city for the sale of street improvement bonds. It appears that the late Auditor issued some warrants on the general fund for street improvement and all of the money in the general fund was gobbled up for street improvement that should have been held to pay warrants legally drawn on the general fund. Just what induced the Auditor to do this is not written. We are informed that the law is specific in regards to misapplication of funds. One of the committee appointed to investigate the curb on Third street reported that the works was all right. The council voted to accept his report.  |
