Carry on Work of Auditing
the City's Accounts for
Two Years

City books for the past two years
will be audited at once by City Auditor

lowed Mushet enough funds to carry
on this work for four months if need
be.

ago when outgoing Superintendent of
Streets James Hanley asked for an ex-
animation. and his request was in
dorsed by the board of public works.
Since then the idea has grown to in
clude all departments.

JAMESTOWN Ex.
HlBlT.

one OF the most interesting fea.
lures OF any exposition is the work of
of assembling the exhibits from the
various portions of the state, and
this is none the less SO when applied
particularly TO the Oklahoma exhibit
which is TO be installed at the James
town exposition.
Although the board OF commission.
ers began rather late in the day. one
of the finest exhibits that ever went
out of the new state Of Oklahoma Is
assured Oklahoma may well be proud
n her agricultural exhibit, consisting
as It does Of the finest of grains and
grasses, with Il fruit exhibit that bids
fair to equal the choicest productions
OF the orchards and vineyards Of Cal
ilornia.
Superintendent Th0bun in speaking
OF this exhibit said: Intense farm
ing and most up to date methods are
eNomplified IN every bit Of the agri-
cultural and horticultural exhibit on
hand, ana it will be an eye opener to
the people Of the East, and ought to
arouse the interest Of those who have
been ploddIng along for years, con.
tent with a small acreage and soil
that needs constant nourishment."
The mineral exhibit. under Supt.
stephen Brown. is far exceeding the
expectation Of tho board and the
mineral resources Of the new state
will compare more fayorably with
that OF any other district In the Unit.
ed States. Coal, asphalt, oil cement,
building stone, shales, iron and cop.
per ores, together with an elegant
hard wood exhibit have been assem-.
bled. II is thought that this exhibit
will be complete within fifteen days
and ready to forward.
