that the chief executive of Daytona

been audited was simpy the treasur-

employees of the city treasurer. Now,
that is not fair thing TO put before
the public, that the books had been
audited. when, as matter of fact, the
complete and proper audit of the
books here in Daytona would take
not less than sixty days with the work
ing of two expert auditors-sixty days
and perhaps more-at an expenditure
of fifteen hundred TO two thousand
dollars-and it would be well worth
it for this city and the citizens. be
cause the Lord only knows what that

that the Daytona chamber of COM
