Changes in the city's system of ac-

to keep track of the municipal finan-

required are suggested by r. B. Crit
fifth, of the Griffith Auditing company
who today filed a report on the an
nual city audit recently made by him.
Mr.. Griffith also suggests that the
commission pass a resolution author
izing the comptroller to, strike from
his books an account apparently due
the city from the .cou4ty, but which
in fact has been liquidated through
tax settlements and by other
meant. Some small differences in the
totals as shown by the treasurer's
books and the books of banks wherein
city funds are deposited is due. to the
method, OF, Bookkeeping and should
be striker from. the books, BY. act of
