Former Mayors Sugges- tions Anent City Audit
 Arouse Official Ire

 Suggestions advanced by former Mayor George Ward for expediting the audit of the public improvement depart. ment at city hall were disapproyed by Comission President D. D. Me Lendon Monday. Ward had made his suggestions in spicy letter and Mo, Lendon replied in kind, suggesting that any further bright ideasa be sub mitted to F. Hopkinson Smith, in charge of the audit.
 Wards plan was to publish the names of all persons whose Improve ment assessments were outstanding on the books, but McLendon wrote the former mayor that this method had been considered and found unsatisfac. tory. His letter follows:
 Your letter.. of the 9th inst, con. taining advice as to how the audit of the public Improvement fund should be conducted has been referred to Mir K. Hopkinson Smith, the special audi. tor in charge of that work. For your information, however, may say that although you seem to think that youl idea is original with you, it is my un. derstanding that it, has already been considered by the auditor and found impractical and discarded in favor oi another plan which promises speediel and more reliable results.
 ''The name of the auditor selected to make this audit was suggested by 6 committee of the leading bankers oi the city, but judging from the tone oi your letter they made the fatal blundei of not selecting Auditor Ward to con duct this audit. Since, however, the fatal blunder has been made, should you have any further bright ideas as to how this work should be done, you may communicate directly with ths special auditor selected as above pointed out"
