PETITION FOR
AUDITOR SENT
TO GOVERNOR
Had Necessary Number OF
Qualified Voters AS
Signers.

The petition of fifty citizens ask
ing the governor to send an auditor
to Pensacola to make a thorough ex-
animation of all city accounts was
mailed to Governor Trammell yester-
day Afternoon. The petition was check
ed by Clerk Macgibbon and when it
was found that all of the signers
were qualified voters it was mailed to
the governor, as the law directs.
State Auditor Ernest Amos is ex-
pected to come to Pensacola soon but
when he comes it is expected he will
make the annual examination of the
accounts of Escambia county. 1t is
believed that the governor will send
some other accountant here to make
the audit of the city books, as the law
says a state examiner shall conduct
the examination.
A section of the city charter pro-
vides that the governor may send an
examiner to Pensacola at any time to
make an audit of city accounts upor
petition of fifty qualified voters Of
the city. This is the first time thai
such petition has been filed since
the commission government chartel
was adopted.
It is believed that Governor Tram
nell win take action on the forma
request for the audit early thi
week.
