City accounts away would concentrate duty for pensions
Auditor Alonzo Tweedale told district commissioners that the present disbursing system makes it nearly impossible to determine annual district expenditures through a single office. He urged consolidating appropriations into the regular annual bill and submitting estimates by the commissioners, plus legislation to fund police and fire pensions from district revenues. The report cites a $194,573.97 total pension fund demands for Jan–May 1911 and projects a larger deficiency in 1912.
