"h"n n" made his recommendation 1T ras for tho exact system which is already in effect
 jIe spoke of the system hy which . inc comptroller, chairman of the ii. nance committee and others sign th, bills and they are endorsed by tho . receiver. At this point he made th, following statement:
 . Denies Filing Invoices After Audit We arc reported as not being in " possession of bills amounting 10 $t2.- ] u9o in round numbers use round ] numbers because when you arc gonc 1 10 steal what is q dollar or two? Most Of tho bills are on file and the man who did the ro-checking knows that but the matter upon which he and do not agree Is his statement that they were put there after the audit"
 Mr, Day recalled that at inc time | l1" auditor made the statement that th" invoices Were put in the files rc- gently he had in his hand a bill 10 ! one QuinlVan which was dated April 1928. and paid in May. 1928. Does he try 10 claim that Quinlivan kept the bill all this timc?" Vouchers Prove Expenditures Mir. Day placed no significance on tin" matter Of missing bills because Of the fact that the department has vouchers 10 prove its expenditures. The speaker urged the committee 10 take a stand in the following re- mark.
 IT, for one, will bo vindicatcd. [ don't want il out that We each got liz Of that $l2.ooo. The damage is done and the stigma is there. | esti- maie that $G."n0 of these bills are missing but that is q common prac- tice not 10 look for these bills. IT the rest of the report is not 50 per cent inaccurate, I will be surprised"
 'l nov" that the finance commit- tee be empowered 10 attempt 10 se- cure ycrification from those from whom we have not received thc bills for our tii"s.' Mr. Day moved and moi voice Was raised in objection.

 hartman King then took a news pape clipping from the table and read q portion Of the mayors state ment that was published on the day tn" report ~as made public. He de- scribod it as rcprehonstble and jn- sidious
 The. mayors statement aajd. "I will ask the school committee 10 trace the expenditure Of some $I2.- GOO made without leaving invoice cv- idence 10 show the channel into which il flowed"
 Attaci1, Alleged .tmcnucneiS
 Mir. King .ajd he knew that the mayor did not write the statement hut the man who did it choae his words we'll and left the impression there WIS u question where the mon oy had gone. Continuing the school board chairman said the responsible head Of tho government should sec that the gil. department involved should be informed first before he issued uch statements and man who does uot do this is t menace to tbc welfare Of the city
