The Finances Xot Handled in a Manner to Suit the Taxpayers. TflEKE -WILL BE AX INVESTIGATION Taxpayers of West Bellevue borough met in Block's Hall at that place last nigh to discuss the following qnestions: First Has the public money been spent Judiciously and to the best interests of tlie borough for the last two year? Second Has illegal investments been made, and hs public money been squan dered either illegally or Ignorantly: Every taxpayer in the borough was in vited to attend and the hall wa fairly crowded. Br. Bell presided. George "W. Bcttridge acted as Secretary. On assuming the chair, Dr. Bell read the call for the meeting and explained its purpose. He ' nid that within the lat 18 months the borough Council had created a bonded in debtedness of SIS. 000 and had raised '".out ?2.000 by taxation. All that moi he aid, had'been spent, and the members of Council, he underwood, were arransing to issue bonds to the amount of 10,000, to be used for street improvements in the spring. Don't Want Any Bond Issno There. He laineuted the reckless expenditure of the moner already raised and protested against the issuing of any additional bonus. He believed that much of the monev spent had been both igno'rantly and illegally squandered. The money, in his opinion, had not been spent judiciously, and for the best interests of the borough. He considered it the duty of the taxpayers to ofter sugges tions for "the improvement of municapal affairs and the proper expenditure of public monev. 'Squire Ross, G. "W. Smith. Dr. "W. T. Hunter, James JT. McCombs, C J. Heid meyer, E. F. A. Hastings, O. I. Hoover, John A. Stewart and X. J. Black also made short addresses. They all suggested radi cal reform in the management of the affairs of their borough. They argued that the Councilmen were prompted by selfish mo tives and were ignorant of their duty. Their one policeman was condemned and was the subject of a paragraph in the reso lutions finally adopted. After the speeches 'Squire Ross presented the following, which was unanimously adopted: f The Charges nd Specifications. "Whfreas. Complaints and caarpes have been made against the officers and servants of West Bellevue borough, we desire to formulate the same and present tne follow ing: First That they violated their oath of office by using diit'off the public streets for their own benefit without remunerating the boroaeh therefor. Second That money voted exclusively for street funds was used for the mircbase of the old school building, and under the statutes it is a rrimintl offense. Third That Councils pay their secretary more than other equally competent citizens would do the work for. Fourth That they pay thelrsolicitor more than other equally conipetentlawye would do the work for. Fifth That they have accepted irjasoes or books of tickets from the Pleasant Valley Uailway Company as a supposed compli ment for giving the Pleasant Valley Com pany the exclusive riant of way through the borough, in direct violation of statutes made and provided. ixth That the policeman appointed by the Council has proven himself ignorant of mid derelict m his duties as a borough of fice and ne recommend his dismissal; and. hercas, The above charges are denied on investigation, both on account of Coun cils and the citizens, be it A Thorough Investigation 0-d?rocl.
