closing shot in this volley: "Mr.
Thomas will swear to the truth of
this."
“He's taking a lot upon himself,"
continued Mr. Milne. referring to the
city clerk. and warming up to his dis-
cussion, “But why doesn't he stay in
his office and tend to his job? We’re
paying him $1,200 ‘a year—to do it. You
can't find him in his office at any
time. The citizens are hollering for
some kind of attention, and I don't
blame them. And he's not the only
official.” he continued, diverting his
attention for a passing moment from
[(‘lerk Linxweller, whose white face
'sdeed he was at the edge of an
angry outburst. “Even though their
assistants are doing the best they
can.”
Mr. Milne then took up the matter
of "the city clerk's office sending out
a check for $50 for a bill of 50c. Mr.
Linxweiler made an effort to explain
this error by relating the position of

jumped to his feet, and, flourishing 11

proof.”

"Regarding the bills of The Sen-
tinel and The Hour, a prominent cili-
zen of the city desired to look at the
bills of the newspaper advertising.
They were received and taken down
in a book. It was found that The
Sentinel figures were lower than the
other paper's. I had no right to re-
fuse to give this information. Often-
times the Hour requests data from me
regarding various matters and'it is
sent up. The right is not mine to re-
fuse information, and the privilege is
open to both papers."
Councilman Milne responded that
the question of the right to furnish
the information was not the point at
issue.
The arguments were waged be-
tween Messrs. Milne and Linxweiler.
no other Councilmen taking part.
There the matter rested, for the
time being, at least.
Other matters of interest were con
sidered last evening. Foremost among
them was the presentation of the sec-
ond district census by the downtown
commissioners to the councilman.
There are just 10,056 persons in the
second district. This means that dis-
trict, at the next election. will be
privileged to have another member on
the city council. This will make
three councilmcn for the second, two
for the first and one each for the
fourth and fifth districts. The copies
