Controller Sweeney
 Meets Commissioners
Audit of Late Controllers Books Ordered-Actions
 of Banks in HonOring Checks Ratified By Vote

Newly appointed Controller Martin J. Sweeney won the approval of the Board of Finance yesterday by sug- gesting that if the board allot funds for an audit of the controllers books from January l, 1889 to the date of Sherwood L. Rowland's death, the appropriationsfo flor audits next year could be diminished by that amount.
 Although the Finance Board in special session yesterday voted to call attention to MT. Sweeney to the charter provision for an audit upon the death of an office holder, it did not take an action toward providing funds.
 Per City Charter
 Commissioner John H. Goss moved that the controller be advised to act in accordance with the charter whereupon Commissioner Pasquale Perriello brought up the question of necessary funds for the audit. If any department has any extra money after the work of the economy com mittee, I'll be surprised" said Mayor Frank Hayes.
 Well" said Commissioner Goss, "we'll call his attention to the char ter, and if he can't find the funds, he'll have to ask the board for it. |"
 T can tell you now" said Con- troller Sweeney, that there is no money in my department for the audit"
 He then recommended that the audit De made from January 1 through July "A, and added, Tn the budget next year you will only have to set up one-half as much for the audit"
 That's very good constructive idea" said Commissioner Goss, fac ing Controller Sweeney, whom he had congratulated warmly minutes previously, upon his appointment Saturday as controller. Other mem- bers of the board also murmured ap- proval.
 Apparently 1t now remains for Controller Sweeney to make formal request to the board for funds for the audit.
 Actions Ratified
 Early in the meeting the board ratified the actions of the Water bury National and Citizens and Manufacturers National banks for paying on city payroll checks is- sued with the fac-simile signature of the late controller, Sherwood L. Rowland. A vote of thanks was ex-
