Mr.. WOODsONs ACCOUNTS.
The Report of the Committee Will BE
Very Interesting Reading.

Though the members Of the City Coun-
Gil Finance Committee still regard 1t as
their hounden duty 20 maintain secrecy
with regard 20 the investigation into the
accounts Of Mr.. Aylett Il. Woodson, who
when he died about twenty months AGO.
was CITY Collector. 1t Is known that the
cyperts have found that there Is due tho
citv about $4,000. Tho exact amount VIII
never be known. "a there Is a ledger miss
ING since AIr. Woodson's death, which, II
recovered, might throw light upon the
subject.
This fact. however, appears-and 1t IS
what the people who knew Mr. Woodson
always believed bat be had not the slight
est idea that he owed tho city ANYTHING
He thought his accounts were all right.
On this particular branch of the subject
+be report of the committee, when publish
ed will be a revelation.
Ii is doubtful if the city ever RECEIVERS a
dollar from Mr.. Woodson' ssureties, though
they are perfectly solvent. because those
oficials whose duty it was TO make stated
examinations Of tho Collectors accounts
failed 10 do so, and so did not notify his
suretjes. as required by law, of the exist
ing delinquency. On each lst OF July and
each LIST OF January the Collector sureties
were entitled to notice OF any default on
his mart
