Indications are that the municipal

the records gone over.
Members of the commission met in
informal session this morning, and
the question of having the books
audited was taken up. Following
the meeting, Mayor George II. Was
key said that the commission Is per-
fectly willing to have the books au-
dited, but that the commission did
not feel that it should take onto it
self the whole responsibility. The
mayor explained that while the com
mission could take the initiative,
and order the work done, members
Of the board might be criticized for
going to the expense, if they did not
first receive a formal demand TO
have the work done.
1t was pointed out that a petition,
signed by only 90 per cen of the tax
payers, would be sufficient to call
the audit. He told hat If 20 per
cent of the taxpayers were in favor
of having the records checked over,
he, for one, would be willing to have
the work done.
