While the examiner has made no report it is known that there were practically no discrep- ancies found in the accounts of the off cers. Yesterday the examiner made a ruling in the matter of paying fines that has created considerable uneasiness in criminal circles. It has been the custom for some years here for the men convicted and fined to pay their fines with witness fee script, which could be secured at ridi- culous discounts, and this the examiner declared can not be done but that all fines must be settled In cash.

ASKS FOR MONTHLY
 STATEMENTS

The Audit committee and Peter Whites experts will from now on con- centrate their energies upon bringing about the results of the preliminary work they have been doing. A state ueht was given out today explaining what this committee will do from now on. Thomas F. Manning who has been one of the experts since Peter White came here with his gang" will leave, next week for Chicago where MT. White has work for him. This will lessen the local force to three men aside from MT. White.
 Tn line with directions received from the Audit committee, City Audi tor Bernard Heating today. issued a letter relative to B. form which each department is to use in making re- ports to the city auditors office. A copy of the form was enclosed in. each letter sent ~oHt to the city de- partment. The letter in partFread:

fund of special knowledge, but he gets his results largely by working harder and putting in longer hours.
 T have frequently been asked, in Bridgeport and elsewhere, about our system the question implying that a system is a, set of accounting forms which can be delivered in a city and set up like a piece of machinery No such system exists, nor can any De devised so long as conditions differ in different cities. Great harm has been done in the name of System. Cities have been overwhelmed with elaborate series of forms, which might work very well in a private corporation which chooses men primarily for their cleri- cal ability
 we attempt to introduce only such additional forms as are absolutely necessary for our purpose. In other words we believe that a good system is one that will work, and that all other systems are worthless. We have no hope or intention, therefore, of leaving in Bridgeport set of account ing records which would be required by the managers of a great private corporate We do expect, however. to have records which will make 1t possible to produce a monthly state ment which will fully inform citizens of the current operations of the city We expect, also, that when the city officers become familiar with the prin- ciples underlying our methods. they will be the ones who will call for col lateral information
 EThis must result in a gradual de- velopment of comprehensive system of records which will show not only the receipts and disbursements but also unit costs of operation. To at tempt to introduce at once all the factors of such a system would defeat the whole purpose of our work It would be like attempting to put up the -cornice as soon as the foundations are in. place.
