A New System Needed In
Keeping Them.
The Plan Now In Vogue Has Long
Since Been Outgrown.

for 20 years and Akron has outgrown
it. Mistakes are too likely TO be made
under the present plan. Only eternal
vigilance prevents the payment of a
bill the second time, if by any mis-
take bills are twice presented for pay

The necessity Of the city receiving
invoices with every purchase made,

credit given on the books, is also an
apparent one. There are other i'm
provements which might be made, but
as no clerk goes into the Office with
the certainty that he will remain more
than two years, they have all for 20
years or more pursued the old-time
system. And Akron has grown some
in that time.
