Disbursements Exceeded Receipts by S25,S45. IS. AUDITOR HARALSON REPORTS All Money Was Properly

AUDITOR HARALsoN REPORTS

The report of Special Accountant W. w. Haralson, who has been work- ing for about six weeks on the books and accounts of the city ohcials or Montgomery, was transmitted last night to the City Council and received and filed with that body. There are but mild criticisms of the city ofhcers and a few recommendations.
 Among the recommendations of Ac- countant Haralson was one for the creation of the position of city audi tor. into which the city clerks position should be merged Ths idea grew in Mir. Haralsons mind out of the ex- and treasurer fixed by the provisions of the Municipal Code on this subject passed by the last Legislature.
 The disbursements of the city for the period covered by Mir. Haraison's report exceed the receipts by $25.S45.lS The total disbursements from all sources amounted to $ss4.4o1.97. while the receipts were 8oS.556.79.
 The city officers whose books un- derwent the inspection of MT. Haral son were H. W. Long, Market Clerk W, H. Taylor, Chief of Police; McD. Cain. Jr., Superintendent of Water works; GIL. Floyd. Superintendent of Schools; the Inspectors of Meat, MIX and Perishable Products. John J. Far ley. City Clerk; and Robert rait, City Treasurer,
 Attention was called to the fact that there are about $500 water consumers in Montgomery at present as against only half that number ten years ago.
 Regarding the conduct of, the office of Superintendent of Waterworks. the Accountant says: "At present the Superintendent is keeping a part oi the books, at such times as otheI duties will permit. and 1t is a very un- satisfactory arrangement. The wa ter register, the most important rec ord of this department. instead of be- ing balanced quarterly, has been neg lected by reason of other pressing du' ties. The water registers designed by the late Mir. Cole were not properly prepared and are. therefore, useless Possibly some small city could ust them. and I would suggest their dis posal in this way"
 Meat Inspeet0rm.
 On the department of the meat ana milk inspection, the Accountant states "The renfttances from this departrnen are made by three persons. Messrs Metcalf, Taylor and Moore. The ac count and responsibility therefor should be centered in one individua to be bonded. The receipts with tn stub for office record are issued-anl as parties desiring inspection etthe throw away or destroy the receipts I would suggest the adoption of print ed tickets, similar in kind to thos recommended for use in the Marke Clerks department.
 Speaking of the work of Clerk Johi J. Farley. who was otherwise compli m'ented, MT. Harrison says: "Al 0
