tContinqed from pahe oneJ

providing for the auditing and exam
ming OF books and accounts IN all
the city departments AT any time that
the controller deems such audit or
examination necessary. The Office OF
city accountant will also be abol-
ished, and after July /, all auditing
and accounting of city books will be
done in the controllers office and
under his personal supervisor,
Controller Engels plan is to place
the responsibility for the proper care
OF the city's accounts on the control
ler's Office.
Nobert " Andres. city accountant
will be let out when his term expires
June 30. His two assistants will be
given work in the controllers office
The board or estimates did not know
that the controller intended 10 take
over the work and voted salary ap-
preparation OF $2.250 for a city &C
countant for the coming year. This
money will be used for another pur'
pose by the controller.
1.-The city accountant is without
proper authority to make audits OF
the books in the various city depart
ments and much OF his work is dupli
Gated in our Office" said Controller
Engel. Il lgure that / can get bet
ter results. keep closer tab on the
citys books, and save the taxpayers
money by taking over the work OF
the accountants office
This department will have access
to all city books at all times, SO that
mistakes, shortages, overdrafts, etc.
can be detected and corrected al
once.
Il spent about $500 having an ex
pert auditor go over the systems In
the various departments, and he fur
nished the office with some valuable
data that will be made use OF. After
July l. every department will have
an appropriation ledger which vii
prevent the departments from over
spending funds. Also. the mayor al
any time can come TO this office and
find ont exactly what any department
In the city government is doing with
its funds This may have the effect
of preventing the useless expenditure
OF money"
The controller thinks that he car
do the auditing with the addition tC
his force OF the two auditors now EN-
ployed as assistants under City Ac
countant Andres.
