No System Of Accounts and No Auditing Of S15,00O Annual
 Business Run HaphaZardly
INQUIRY TO BE STARTED
 BY SPECIAL COMMITTEE
Original Purpose of Checking Ath- letc Funds at Franklin Square Institution May Be Broadened to Take in Junior High and Ele- mentary Grade-Supt. Holmes silent on Aid. Judd's Charges,

Investigation into the financial side of Senior High school athletics which begins this evening will ex- tend to other matters of finance, chiefly the high school bookstore
 which is said to do an annual busi- ness in excess of sl5,O0o, but which IS without a system of accounts and has never been completly audited. according to members of the in- Nostigating committee.
 It was first planned to confne the inquiry 10 the methods of handling and dishursing an income from ath- l"tics of approximately 5000 a year, but the more sweeping in- quiry has been decided upon and it was predicted today that it will ex- tend not only through the Senior High school, but the Junior High schools and possibly elementary grades.
 Accounts in Muddlcd State
 iiiS c'llol 1llSn ScnOol book store accounts are in such a mud Ile1 condition and the lack of svs tom so evident that Comptroller Newell S. AmeS has refused to ac cept the responsibility for the ac- count and cannot in justice to him self. he explains, make any attempt 10 prove the accuracy of the ac- count as it now stands. Several teachers assist in the sale of books and turn in such money as they find In the cash drawer at the close Of the day. Coming from so man~ different sources and with no eys- fem Of chcck-up in use, the comp troller can do nothing but make an entry in his books and consider the transaction closed The books then go to the office of the superinten- dent who pays the bills. placing the receiving of cash in one department and it's disbursement in another without a connecting link, it is pointed out.
 Principal Louis P. Slade, Comp troller Ames and Supt. of Schools Stanley II. Holmes will discuss the problem with the committee at o'clock today. Supt. Holmes Declines to Comment
 "I have nothing to say regarding statements made by Alderman Will liam II. Judd concerning the abol- 1 shing of the High school Alumni Athletic council. I will make no either way. I am respon- sible to the school committee and will not take part in a newspaper controversy"
 The foregoing statement was made today by Supt. Stanley H. Holmes of the school department when he was asked to comment on the views expressed by Alderman Judd in the press last night in which the alderman, treasurer and | a member of the council during the | l6 years of it's existence, said that | the school superintendent was re- sponsible for the councils being abolished.
 MT. Judd claimed that the coun- cil which until 1916 had charge of high school athletics with the su- pervision Of the school faculty had refused to fire high school coach and substitute teacher. Ac- cordlng 10 Mir. Judd, the council was put out of existence by Princi- pal Louis P. slade under orders rom the school superintendent. The coach was Dr. Frank Zwick.
