EDUCATORS APPROVE
 AUDIT OF SCHOOL DEPT,
Express Surprise at Request of Mayor Paonessa But Register
 No Objection

Members of the school committee voted yesterday to cooperate in proposed audit of city books, mean while protesting to be mystified as to the origin of the movement in spite of the fact that representatives of firms making preliminary studies have been given letters from the office of the mayor explaining their mission.
 Chairman Patrick r. King won- dered if the board of finance and taxation or the mayors office has sponsored the plan, and If such is the case was at loss to know why the school committee had not been informed.
 The board of finance and taxation voted more than a month ago to authorize the audit as recommend cd by Mayor Paonessa. Three firms asked permission to bid for the work, and a representative of each was given . letter from the office of the mayor. They then visited all departments and made study of books and records. No other board was given notice of the planned audit but no objection to a study of present systems was encountered until the school department was reached.
