|Takoma Park
Audit Praised

Sidney w. Tymeson, Takoma
Park City Council member and
finance committee chairman, to-
day praised a recent auditors
report on city finances recon-
mending abolition of salary ad-
vances to city employees.
He said, however, that year
ago the Takoma Park account
ing Office began closing out the
account under which employees
were given salary advances and
that last June 80, the end of the
fiscal year. the record showed the
advanced salary ledger was clear.
Mr.. Tymeson defended the
practice of advancing public
funds in hardship and emergency
cases to public employees. The
advances, he said. were not
loans"
he cited the example OF po-
liceman's clothing allowance. A
new city policeman is allowed
$240 to buy necessary clothes
but is granted only $50 of that
sum per month. Mr.. Tymeson
said it has been necessary to
grant advance clothing allow
ances of over $40 to enable the
policeman to equip himself for
duty.
The report on the city's
finances was received by the Ia
koma Park Council on February
2. The auditor, Joseph D. O'Con-
nell, said his report also noted
that the salary advance proce-
dure be recommended against
had been discontinued last year
Mr.. Tymeson expressed be-
wilderment that there should be
any controversy over the report.
Maybe it's because an election
