BILL FOR AUDIT
MAY Be VETOED
Councilman TiCe Says no At

Police Justices Books
MORAN SENDS LETTER
That ForgotSon Owes State
$142-Action if Bill is
Not Paid

SOUTH AMBOY, June 13:-Op-
position developed at the session OF
the Common Council here last night
when the audit bill of Braverman &
Smith, of Perth Amboy, amounting
to 81, 200, came up for payment. AL
though it was passed by the
Gil with only one dissenting vote it
is considered likely that Mayor Dan
lei c. Chase will veto the payment Of
this bill.
When the matter was brought up
Councilman Edwin l.. Tice, Repub-
lican, objected 10 the payment Of
the bill for the auditing of the city
books for 1922 at h sum of S1,LOO
and gave two reasons why he would
not vote favorably for its payment.
One of these reasons was that in
his opinion the audit had no been
completed. He claimed tina tas far as
he knew the auditors did not at
tempt TO audit the books of Police
Justice Reuben Forgotson. h sec
ond reason why he would not vote
for the payment of the bill, Mr.. Tice
said, was because the appropriation
for auditing books would be exceed
ed $500, as only 5000 had been APP
rronriated for this work.
Councilman Tice in airing his rea.
sons. said that he believed the books
of Forgotson should be audited and
he stated that in view of the fact
that the police justice was indebt-
ed to the state to the amount o.
S142, unless the books were audited
there is no way of knowing whether
Forgotson is also indebted to the
city. He declared that it is a seri'
Gus breach of the law for council to
expend money over the appropria'
ton and stated instances where gov.
erning bodies have been sent to jail
for such procedure. To bear ou'
his objection to no audit of tho po-
lice books he read a letter from
Thomas f. McCran, attorney gem
eral for New Jersey as follows:

best orator-the most magnetic
speaker-in Germany. That is Gus
tav Stresemann of Berlin, who is
being mentioned as most likely to
succeed to the reins of government
in Germany if Chancellor Cuno is
forced to resign.
Stresemann's accession to the
chancellorship can rather a
change of personality at the head
of the government than a change of
policy in the government.
Born in Berlin May 10, 1873, he

Captain Ear declared that the en-
tire outside waters between Fireside
Island and Ambrose I.ightship were
invested with small craft which. in
last nights fog. sounded bells and
whistles, from all sides. As result
of this confusion, he said. he lost his
bearings and instead of being at the
mouth of the bay, as he supposed. he
found himself actually in the Hudson

Most of the rum-runners. the cap
