1t was reported some weeks ago in
out of town papers that an expert
would be employed to examine the city
accounts and that new system of
bookkeeping would be adopted and
later that the expert had been here,
examined the books for ten or twelve
years back, and found everything cor
rect. AS this expert was of course paid
for his services by the city it was sup
posed he would make a report to the
city council and that the report would
appear in its proceedings. 1t is certain
" a matter in which the public is inter
ested, particularly as accusations were
made against former Republican city
treasurer in connection with discrep-
ancy in the accounts under former
administration of the present mayor.
The ex-official in question has been
semi-o officially Informed that the inves-
tigation established the correctness of
his accounts, but the discrepancy still
remains unexplained.

The Unity correspondent of The
Journal did good piece of work last
week in writing up the industries, bust
ness and prospects of the town. 1t is
the sort of matter The Journal is al
ways glad to print, believing that, with
towns as with individuals, advertising
pays. For great many years Brooks
has been kept in the public eye by our
correspondence. w. Lang in the
long ago and M. J. Dow in the present
and Hon. Fred Atwood has always
kept Winterport to the front, not only
in The Journal but in other publica-
lions. He has not confined his activi-
ties in this line to his own town, but
has done all in his power to promote
the prosperity of the State, and
was among the first to recognize the
possibilities and aid in promoting the
development of Aroostook. Now we
hope to see the example of our Unity
correspondent followed by others
There are few towns in Waldo county
that do not have industries that could
be fostered by publicity; and every
town has it's representatives scattered
all over this country to whom suct
news from home would be most wei
come.
