PROGRESS OF THE INVESTIGATION UNDER TIL

PROGRESS OF THE INVESTIGATION UNDER THE
EXPERT ACCOUNTANT.
It is stated at the Navy department that the
investigation Of the accounts Of the different
bureaus is being continued under the direction
OF Mr.. Calhoun, the expert accountant The
work on which he is engaged is Of two kinds,
the establishment Of q new system of accounts
and thorough investigation OF the different
bureaus of the department. These two divf-
siOns OF labor are being pushed along as rapidly
as possible, but from the magnitude of the task
the progress Is necessarily slow. The new sys-
tenn of accounts is designed to relieve the bu-
reaus to great extent OF duty not naturally
Incident to them. to centralize the account
keeping In the department and to modernize 1t.
It is also intended that the new system shall
help the accounting officers OF the Treasury, as
1t provides tor an audit of expenditures before
the accounts for the same reach these officials.
A similarity of systems in the bookkeeping be-
tween the department. and the fourth auditors
Office would be very effective preventive Of
fraud and collision. AS respects the investiga-
lions Of the different bureaus they will proceed
as rapidly as possible, and the expert expects to
devote his whole time to 1t after being relieved
Of the duty of setting the accounts in good
order. A vast mass of material has been accu-
mulated, and 1t has to be all gone over care
fully The force at work under Mr.. Calhoun
has been recently increased by the assignment
of four clerks from the different bureaus of the
department..
