Mayor Rhodes
Raps Auditors
Travel Expense

James A. Rhodes, battling mayor
of Columbus and Republican cam
didate for State Auditor, Monday
issued statement taking excep-
tions to travelling expense accounts
of State Auditor Joseph Ferguson.
Said Mayor Rhodes, "On June
IL, 1852 I requested in writing of
State Auditor Ferguson that he
furnish me with the record of the
number of gasoline books purchas-
ed by the State of Ohio for use in
the automobiles provided by the
State for the Auditor and his Of
flee. If his records are in proper
order it should take only mo-
ment to obtain and furnish fhis
information. To date he has failed
to do So"
Mayor Rhodes charged that, I'm
the year 1851 Auditor Ferguson
presented bills covering expenses
of travelling junkets in the amount
OF $3,865.68. Despite the regula-
tons of the State Finance Depart
ment requiring the filing of re-
ceipts for expenditures In excess
of $1.00 there is included in the
above expenses almost $4,000 for
gasoline and oil without receipts
to support these expenditures"
He further stated: These flag
rant Irregularities of the State
Auditor in failing to conform to
the established procedure as set
up by the State Department of
Finance not only are bad practice
in and of themselves but set sad
example for other public officials
and employees whose financial ac-
tivities are audited by this self
same State Auditor.
"Not only do condemn this
loose and irresponsible method of
incurring needless expense but I
further condemn the alleged need
to make the great majority of
these out-of-State excursions. In
my 8-years as Mayor of Columbus
not once have the taxpayers been
called upon to provide me with the
luxury of out-of-State trips in
high-powered cars with accommo-
dations in swank hotels. As a mat
ter of fact the records of the City
of Columbus will show no travel
expenses charged to the taxpayers
of the Capital City for any trips
either inside or outside the State
of Ohio"
Mayor Rhodes concluded his
statement by declaring: 1T is by
constantly exposing to public view
the derelictions and waste of the
State Auditor which I propose to
continue to do that we can ulti-
mately bring about a requirement
by law that the office of State
Auditor be itself audited the same
as other public offices so that
these practices may be stopped
and the public be informed ana
benefited" ~l
