Auditor HungerfOrd's complete re-
port To- the Board of Education Is as
follows:
During the course Of our audit OF
the books of the School District of the
City Of WyandOtte, Michigan, for the
fiscal wear ended June 30, 1912, GER
tain Irregularities have come TO our al
tentiOn.
$50 far as we have been able TO de
termin,. there is a shortage of cash
belonging to the School Board In the
amount of $2O,10S.OS, consisting OF
check received from the county trea-
surers office for state aid and tuition
i'm the amount of $10.1OS.OS which was
endorsed by the treasurer and caShed
on June l. 1912, but not deposited
TO the credit of the Board OF Educa-
ton: and $4,000 collected on school
taxes Oh May -, but not deposited to
the credit of the Board OF Education.
These irregularities are a part of
a cash shortage Of the accounts OF
John Il. McWhirter. city treasurer and
treasurer Of the Board Of Education.
In our opinion. il is possible that fur-
ther shortages Of cash will subSe-
quently develop. However, we believe
any additional Irregularities will not
exceed two or three thousand dollars.
I'VE recently submitted report u
YOU covering our audit for the month
nf Nav. 1912. in which all cash was
properly accounted for up to that
time. The shortage referred to above
occurred during the month Of June.
1912. and was disclosed during the
audit for that period
THE final audit for the year ending
June 80. 1912. has not been completed
because of this discrepancy and will
not be submitted until further infOr-
nation is available"
Mayor Louis w. Benin reported that
McWhirter confessed the shortages to
him Monday afternoon following the
discovery. However. in, statement
made TO the Wayne county prosecu'
tors office, the treasurer denied hav-
ing any knowledge of the shortage. He
removed his personal belongings from
his office on Tuesday. He did not look
at or speak to, any Of his employees as
he left.
last spring the salary Of the city
treasurer was raised from the previous
figure of $1,000 to $1,000 per year
Auditing OF the books OF both the
city and Board of Education treasures
is now under way.

MICHIGAN BELL
ASKS WISE USE
OF TELEPHONE

The Michigan Bell Telephone Com
pany has launched an. unprecedented
advertising campaign urging greater
efficiency in the civilian use of the
telephone as an aid to victory.
Pointing out that wires are so con
gested as To jeOpardize the speedy
handling of military and war prOduc-
ton calls, George NJ. WEIGH, president
of the company, has suggested a vol
untary program of wartime restraint
in telephone usage, high-lighted by the
suggestion that only the most neces-
Sary long distance calls be made dur
ing the business day and that brevity
be used in both long distance and local
telephone conversations
Other points in the program are:
Long distance Service-1. Plan calls
in advance to assure brevity. 2 Fur.
nish the operator with the number of
the distant telephone to be called. 3
Avoid all but necessary calls to Wash
ington, to which point the lines are
overloaded with war messages.
Local service. Look up numbers
In the telephone directory before call.
ing. 2. Plan calls in advance. g. Teach
children how they can help the war
effort by keeping their calls brief.
Never before has the company made
such an effort to guide the telephone
habits of its subscribers. In the words
Of President WEIGH, I'm the past, easy
unhampered telephone service has
been taken for granted, and properly
so.
Now there is war to win, and
each of us has patriotic duty to see
that our use Of the telephone does not
interfere with war calls. Though your
own line may never be used for wal
messages. every call you make must
board. Many switchbOards are crowd
ed with military or industrial calls.
I'm the kind of war we are fighting
now, telephone communicate is a vi
tai necessity War calls must gc
through. Every time a military or wal
production call gets stalled In a traf
fic jam, the speed Of our drive to vic
tory is slowed down.
The reserve capacity of our lines
and equipment, built up for emergen
cies, Is now fully used And further
substantial enlargement Of the tele
phone system to take care Of this wal
time congestion Is impossible because
materials are even more urgently
needed for tanks. planes. and guns
There is only one solution remaining
more careful and more efficient use OF
present telephone facilities by all oi
u.s."
Welch said the company Is handlin,
q record average Of $500 calls 8
day. with long distance calls up 81
per cent over 1899. Long haul Ions
distance calls average 1000 NOR,
daily than just six months ago.
