$4,000 Voted
For Inventory
Audit Asked by
ONeil Allowed

on the special insistence Of
Utilities Commissioner osNei
f the city council Wednesday
nassed an ordinance authorizing
> $4,000 audit and inventory of
the city light. water and belt line
departments to be completed BY
June /.
o'Neil had selected the firm to
he employed, Barrow. Wade
Guthrie a. Co.. a nationally
known organization which has
been employed to make similar
sudits for the city of Seattle.
Passage Of the ordinance
was voted after extensive
discussion In which City Con-
troIler Swayze participated.
Swayze told the council he did
not want to be in the position Of
recommending a $4,000 expend-
iture for an audit to duplicate the
work of his own department.
People could rightfully ask
what they were employing me
for Swayze said. He told the
council such an audit and inven-
tory as o'Neil proposed would I'M
douhtedly be valuable to ONeil |
and to the city in bringing out
recommendation of improvements
and improved policies that might
he adopted with profit to the
city's utilities.
Il didn't invent the accounting
system in effect when l took Of
flee" Swayze said, land can
see where it might be improved.
but unless I were to duplicate the
work Of the utilities department
accountants, I couldn't bring
about the changes that probably
could be made to advantage.
"All my department does Is
to check the utilities depart
ment figures. I'm satisfied
that the accounts are well ,
kept and that the balances
are correct"
Commissioners Bergersen and
Fawcett expressed an interest in :
employment of Tacoma account
ants if possible. but O'Neil said he
particularly wanted an outside
firm to do the work so there
would be no implication of local
politics in its findings. AS far as
possible the ordinance calls for
of Tacoma help.
