 Audit Proves Correct-The reaudit- ipg of the city's books, which was or dared by committee of citizens. was completed this week, and with minor exceptions showed the former audit which had been submitted to city coun- ell to be correct. The audit was made by William J. Christian, certain citi- zFns asking that a recheck be made of the former report.
 Alr. Christians report, in part, fol- lotFs: "The books of the city appear to be@in the best order, and your auditor has been unable to discover any dis creprancies thereon. In the former anditor's report, however, we find an error, we believe, in the charging of expenditures from the bond interest and sinking fund. This error, in our judg- naent, has been carried on the books for the past five years, and the present administration is in no way involved. Thfs, will require a simple readjust- ment of the account We were ex- teRded every courtesy by city officials, for which we are grateful
