AUDITORS CON-
OPENS
in. McCaW Of Wala We||a
in Attendance

NORTH YAKIMA, June 2O.-With
an attendance of 20 members the
fourth convention of the state audit
ors' association opened in the Com
mercial club rooms at GAS yesterday
morning, President 1. M. Howell, of
Pierce county, in the chair.
After the formal opening of the ses-
sion by the president and the reception
of the report of the legislative commit
tee, informal discussion followed on
various topics of interest to the aSSO-
citation, the questions relative to the
issuance of the county warrants be-
ing the main subject under considera-
ton.
The afternoon session was devoted
mainly to the discussion of the Tor
rens Land law, the new primary cleo
ton law and the new law governing
county engineers as it affects the au-
ditOr'S office.
This evening the convention will
consider the auditing department of
the auditors office, the auditor as clerk
of the board of county commissioners
and the new and old road district laws.
Considering the difficulty which the
auditors usually experience in getting
away from their duties even for a
short time the fact that the convention
was able to open with an attendance
of 20 is considered highly satisfac-
tory. More of the auditors arrived
this morning to take part in the pro-
ceedings.
