We, the Grand Jury chosen and
sworn Tor the December adjourned

to submit the following as cur General
Presentments:

We your Committee OF Finance.

Clerk OF the CouHv Commissioners,
Clerk of the COUNTY Court
Clerk Of the City curt.
Tax Collector
Board Of Educat on.
Sheriff
Ordinary.
Board of Health
All reports are herewith attached,
and we think. give Il comprehensive
statement OF the affairs Of the county.
as to receipts and disbursements for
the period which they cover
We have endeavored to verify these
various reports with the book records
but We're unable to do so in a thorouh
manner. owing to the limited me
allowed for this work. We believe,
however. that the statements as
furnished us from the several depart
ments are reasonably correct and we
note that general improvement has
been made in the handling of our
county finances. We feel il our duty
to commend the action OF the county
commissioners in creating the new
office of Clerk Of the Commissioners
and Auditor.
We commend particularly the selec-
ton CT Mr. Paul e. Tw Fly TO Gil this
position. which requires the handling
Of all important affairs coming under
direction of the commissioners. Mr..
Twitty was elected in February. 1919
al a salary of $4,000 p>y month, and
he has, since the date C. his appoint
ment. installed most thorough ard
complete system Of accounting ana
handling of all transactions coming
through his department The new
office of Clerk of the Commits toners
and Auditors handles all purchases
: made by the county, running into
many thousands OF dollars a year and
in reviewing the records OF this Office,
we find that a great deal has been ac-
complished, and this saving. we under
stand has been equal to. if not more
than salary paid for the work accom-
plished n this new office.
1t is our understanding that the last
complete audit OF the county books
was made December 6. 1918 by certi-
fed public accountants, and it is the
custom to have these audits made
once every two years We presume
within short time al books of the
county will be again audited It is
cur opinion that this audit work
should be dcnp at least once year,
and believe this would entail very
little additional expense.

The statement shown was a carbon copy
on Metropolitan Opera Theatre paper:
The representative of Signor sal
maggi excitedly declared that some proof
of the statement of sales must be shown.
Mr.. Loeb stood on what the box office
receipts showed.
VIII Not Sue Singers
Today, Mr.. Ladner, counsel for Mr..
Loeb said there would be no suit
against members Of the company.
Mr.. Ladner, at the same time, gave
the "temperamental outburst" ex-
planation for the sudden blow-up at
the crisis of the piece.
The treasurer of the Metropolitan
made a statement which indicates
that "temperamental outbursts of the
artistic" and such cold. hard facts of
life as overdue pay may be almost one
and the same thing.
The treasurer said the stars Of the
company were deeply grieved because
they had not been paid for three per-
formances in Brooklyn. He said a
number Of wealthy Italo- American
residents of this city had come forward
last night with contributions which as i
sured payment of back salaries, and
that the pay envelopes were being pre-
pared when the blow up came.
In declaring there will be no lawsuit
as an aftermath of last nights incident,
Mr.. Ladner, speaking for Mr.. Loeb
said the "tempernmental outburst" had
spent itself and differences between the
management and the singers had been
settled.
