over the attractive table. The ice

DOOLY GRAND JURY
INSISTS ON AUDIT
OF COUNTY'S BOOKS

CORDELE. GA, Jan 22.-At the last
session Of the Dooly superior court, held
in Vienna recently, the grand jury rec
commended that the books of the coun-
ty officers, which had not been audited
for several years, be checked up by ex-
pert public accountants.
The ordinary of the county placed
this work in the hands of Charles New
lille, a certified public accountant, of
Savannah. When his representatives
appeared on the scene, the county COM
missioners told them they would re-
fuse to approve their bill for payment,
The commissioners also gave the coun-
ty treasurer orders not to allow the au-
ditors to have his books.
The grand jury has now taken steps
to force the commissioners to pay for
the auditing by having the ordinary
sign with them a contract for this work
Solicitor j. B. Wall, Of the Cordele ju-
dicial circuit, informed the grand jury
that if such contract was made. it
would be legal and binding, and the
treasurer commissioners and other Off
GERS would have to turn over their books
to the examiners for auditing, and that
an order from the grand jury would be
sufficient authority for the treasurer to
pay for the work.

afternoon on charge OF maintaining a

There has been precedent set by
