the following was read by the recorder and unanimously adopted to the honorable mayor and city council gentlemen we your special committee beg leave to report as follows in the matter of the investigation of the charge preferred against C F loofbourow president of the council by bv his honor the mayor in his communication to the council jan 3 1893 we have had two sessions lasting several hours each during which time a number of witnesses were examined the testimony covering eighty three pages of type writing has been oare full considered and we find that while judge loofbourow through an intimate acquaintance and friendship with the officers of the eagle crematory company did extend favors and courtesies to them in the matter of receiving and forwarding money for them and in going upon their bond to the city with mr bacon and of securing a deposit of money tor lor the purpose of paying for any mp repairs a 1 rs that might be required under their ei r guarantee there is no evidence that he be acted as their attorney or that he received any money for such services the council approved the bond the mayor and the city atto attorney iney both anew knew who the bond was signed by and as they made no objection or intimation that there was any irregularity irregular li y with the bond it was accepted by the coun council il we do not find from evidence that judge loofbourow was in any way employed by mount fc griffin in obtaining the sprinkling contract or received any compensation from them in that connection tn in the matter of the sale of the gas stock judge loofbourow it is on the council records as being opposed jo 0 o the sale of the acock all through the negotiations and at the final voe he voted against the sale we do not find from the evidence that judge loofbourow was employed as an attorney in any way by rhodes bros in the sale hale of or contract contra ot for water pipe or that he received any compensation from them in any way or for anything we find that mr hardy did not assert in open council that the president was so employed but mr hardy did question the propriety of the president being employed as counsel for the city in the parley farley conduit cue case but as the mayor and city attorney did employ judge loofbourow as attorney in that case it was supposed to be right and proper and judge loofbourow so BO declared himself in open council we regret that the mayor did not use more caution in regard to the credibility of his information thereby impossibly avoiding this unpleasant charge and ili investigation vesti gation we recommend that president loofbourow be exonerated by this council of all charges made against him in the mayors communication respectfully submitted M H BEARDSLEY E E RICH H F EVANS we
