New System Of
Accounting Used

Whether it's box Of toothpiCks
for "The Only Coffee Shop" or a
tractor for the northumberland
farm at the Arizona State Prison
near Florence, Ted R. Drey, the new
steward-auditor, is going to have
a complete record of the purchase,
he told The Examiner, this week.
Continuing, Auditor Drey said:
can entirely new system of TAX
ing inventories and keeping records
at the Arizona State Prison is
rapidly being put into effect, that
will give the present administra-
ton and all future administrations
a bird 's-eye view of all transactions
involving the receiving of and pay
ms out cash during the superintend-
ency of A. ]. Barnes.
"Eevery transaction under this
new system is to be made a matter
Of record; each department is re-
Quired to submit reports daily to
the auditing department, where a
general permanent record has been
installed, and any citizen can
come and look over these records
and see at a glance the minutest
details of each and every transac-
ton.
"The new system we hive in
stalled takes Dare of everything
from toothpicks to tractors, relative
to financial transactions, and we
have made some changes in food
for the prisoners that they are ap-
plauding.
1--WE have gotten away from too
much starch in the food served to
the inmates by using more vege-
tables and we believe it will have
a tendency to improve the health
Of the consumers and raise che
morale inside the prison walls"

The Examiner was told, shows ,nly
12-acre feet of water. The water
shed has much snow, but, it is

slot machine barons are also worry

nickles, dimes and quarters, you
know, and cotton pickers (at least
majority of them) have a pen
chant for playing the slots.
