lied on the same will be available.
We recommend, however, that under
no circumstance certificates of indebt-
edneSs be issued after the proposed
issue of bonds of Sl,000,000 will have
been realized on, excepting for salaries
in extraordinary cases of a depleted
treasury through nOn-payment of taxes.
We recommend that the bonds, if
issued, be signed by the city officials
the same as other city bonds, as in our
opinion they will sell more readily and
at better price.
We recommend that the legislature
enact law making it the duty of the
Secretary of the Board to inaugurate
system of double entry bookkeeping,
with such other records as are neceS-
sary to make the Office of Secretary one
of complete record of all transactions Of
the Board, and that he be req lred 20
furnish each member of the Board, at
the regular monthly meeting, trial
balance and statement showing the
financial condition of the Board at the
close of business on the day preceding
the regular monthly meeting, together
with statement of the expenditures,
attendance and the cost per capita OF
each school.
