That's not so bad for starter.
Young keene isn't in the celebrity
class as yet, but he is corking good

stick work would surely be in the big
show to-day.
Tommy Mcmillan lacks only tri-
fe in size and weight to be dig

with the Dodgers some years ago. and
he is anybody's equal as short
fielder, simply lacking a few pounds

ject to Finance Committee

EXPERTS IDEAS

Levy Court Commissioners Thomas
S. Fouracre, at the meeting of the
Court today, introduced q resolution
authorizing the finance committee 10
consult one or more expert account
ants as TO the best system Of ac-
counting. In introducing the resolu-
ton Mr.. Fouracre said he did not
approve of Mr.. Gooding's idea of a
card system of accounting for the
county offices. He could not tell If
a card or loose leaf ledger system
is the better because il is possible to
remove a card or a leaf
we desire an up-to-dete system,
and we need the best" Mr.. Fouracre
said.
Mr. Gooding believed the Court
should go slow in the matter. "We
need" said Mr.. Gooding. ito proceed
legally before we do anything"
Mr.. Groves asked what was the
matter with the present system. He
added that the Court at this time
could find any bill at any time. Mr..
Groves said hR was opposed TO the
employment of an expert accountant
at this time
At this point Mr.. .Gooding remarked
that Mr.. Fouracre had not consulted
him regarding the resolution.
Mr.. Fouracre replied that neither
had Mr.. Gooding consulted him re-
garding his card system idea
Mr.. Smith moved that the matter be
referred to the court, as a committee
OF the whole, and Mr.. Burris present
ed a resolution that the matter be re-
ferred to the finance committee. The
latter resolution prevailed.
