JURY'S FINDINGS FAIL TO PLEASE
 HARRISON, CLOE
Officials Disagree With Audit And Clemency
 Recommendations

Commissioners W. B. Cloe and Will. liam l.. Harrison on Saturday took is. sue with some of the recommendations of the Jefferson county grand jury whose presentments Friday dealt large ly with city hall affairs.
 Cloe objected to the jury's criticiEm city prisoners, while Harrison did not a further audit of the books in the city comptroller's department.
 Said Commissioner Cloe: "I accept full responsibility for all clemency that has been shown in city cases, and have no apology to offer. On the con trary, am proud of the record as Il exists and am sorry that illness kept me from appearing before the jury I feel sure I could have satisfied every juror that my action was fully justi fled by the circumstances.
 There is a Humanitarian duty tc perform in many of the eases coming before me. have never extended clemency without first making care full investigation. In some cases, finei have been reduced in order that de pendents of the defendants might not suffer. In isolated cases, fines have been reduced because I felt, after in quiry, that they were excessive. In thit connection, I might say that many oi the defendants we turn over to the state courts are turned loose or given finei that, at best, are nominal"
 Harrison Wants Audit
 Commissioner Harrison expressed thu belief that third audit of the booki in the public improvement department where the William l.. Lehman shortage was discovered, is an immediate neces sity. He indicated he would urge thii course upon the commission at Tues days session.
 Before issuing formal statement, Mir. Harrison continued, II want tt study the grand jury's report closely I want to see how thoroughly the jurJ went into the situation and whether i was able to place all the shortage From the accounts 1 have read, l an not satisfied and may. ask the further audit.
 Mine and Mrs. Echols' resolution fol the third audit, which was adopted unanimously by the commission, GOV cred the entire period of the present ad ministration. The regular October audit will cover only the current ifs cal year. It has been my purpose iron the beginning to get all the facts; ant I am inclined to believe that we shoult have an audit made immediately, datini back to the beginning of this admins tration."
 Indications are that the proposeC audit will bring on a full discussion a Tuesdays session of the commission:
 Commission President D. D. McLen don made no comment on the jury's re port. but indicated he was in full ac cord with the audit recommendations
