PRAISES CITY.
Henry Farquhar of Washington Cen. sus Bureau, Speaks of New Haven.

| Hen:S Farquhar representative of the Washington census bureau, says New Eaven is ono of the country's fn- est cities financially and in its system of keeping records That was Mir. Farquhar's statement as he finished his investigation into the city's records which investigation has been on for the past three weeks. In his sum mary to-day MT. Farauhar stated that Controller Rowe was one of tho best business men that municipality could have and his system of keeping his records was such that he had no dif- fculty in finding out just what he wanted to know.
 Mir. Tarquhar came here during Labor day week and started in to ex- anime the city as to it's standing
 When I was here two years ago" he stated. T thought everything was as near perfect as 1t could be. l learned this time that perfection can be improved and under Mir. Rowe, whom l have met only twice, I think the citizens of this city can at any time find out just where they are and do so by simply reading the report that your controller issues. have gone over it and haven't found a sim gle item that Is not verified by the in n. ner figures
 The report takes in all that I wish to know from city business right through to the schools. AS my de. partment demands the exact figures | verified the reports, In every case the figures l got on my own time corres- bonded exactly with those of the con- troller. While l cannot make any comparisons with this and other cities l will say that your city Is to be con- graduated for the fine method and correct reports that are furnished to the citizens. They're fine and legible | That's the best recommendation I can give them and that's enough"
