summary Of his conclusions, follow

tail In that the administrative over
head now maintained in the Santa

in cost of collecting licenses and that
it has not sufficient funds to provide
proper protection for fish and game,
or for propagation of either. Atten-
tion is called to the departments ella
borate and beautiful annual report,
costing over $500, as an expense for
the purpose which Mr.. James thinks
wholly out of proportion to the total
revenue and extent of operations OF
the Office. With the cooperation of
the game warden the association has
installed a new system of license
blanks which will greatly reduce the
departments printing expense. Pass

A summary of the Taxpayers as
ISOLATION audit of the city of Roswell

teresting feature of the June Review.
RoswelIs waterworks plant is shown
to be a highly profitable municipal
investment, showing a net profit of
several thousand dollars after charg-
ing off more than $4,000 in free mu-
nicipaI service, such as fire hydrants,
street sprinkling, park service, sew
en- flushing, etc. 1t is shown, how
v that no sinking fund or replace
ment provisions have been made and
the need for them is strongly en-
phasized. The audit shows transfers
OF fund balances. in violation of the
Bateman act and while no improper
use of transferred balances is char
ged the practice is referred to as
Illegal, and Of general practice in
New Mexico. An outstanding fea-
ture of the audit is the showing that
city oficials have participated in the
profits Of business dealings with the
city and that municipal funds have
been deposited in a bank in which
a city Official is interested, without
interest having been paid. It is not
held that excessive profits have been
made on the transactions referred to,
but the illegality is emphatically as
serted. An accompanying article
deals squarely with the practice of.
ignoring these sections of the New
