He da- dares that; the system of bookkeeping: In- several departments is, totally - In adequate and suggests that all books be kept In ; the auditor's of flee.'- Funk suggests that a, man from his off ice be detailed to each department to afford a system of checking:.-. , "We catch the mistakes sometimes." Funk declared this moraine, "but there is no doubt that hundreds of dollars have never- been returned to , the .'city. Zt is entirely the fault of a bad system of- bookkeeping: and inferior ; employes. The only: way we can tell that the rec ords of the department are incorrect' is to check up on the requisition, and Jrt oases of similarity' we often remember and catch- mistakes. But there should be a complete change of system." ; Adolphe Wolfe ofv Pof tland Honored ; By flebrewOTnion v .' ' y . " .

C East Eighty-fourth street north, whose family was confined for two weeks by what be declares was an illegal quarantine applied by the city health bureau, has asked Dr. George Parrish, city health officer, who is gsnng to pay the expense) of the alleged false quarantine.

He seemed to have for gotten my - case entirely and promptly dodged the issue. A lady took up the re ceiver, - telling: me there would be . some one , out tomorrow.

He did on the fo'Uow lng morning, and at 11 o'clock the same morning the same doctor , who quaran tined - us came and fumigated the house, telling- us to take . the smallpox card down that evening. - : "As we - were irt quarantine all the time it cannot be disputed? that the boy took hi' case from the girl. If she had smallpox, as the city doctor diagnosed it, what did the boy have? : "If the, boy had chickenpox, "which the same physician admitted when, he raised the quarantine, then what,, was the necessity to fumigate -either case, and especially what was the necessity to fumigate four days after the boy's case: developed? - I have a lurking suspi cion that the city pays health officers for each vaccination and each fumiga tion,, otherwise they, might , not be so eager to apply said preventive measures. QUABAXTrXE HELD XECESSABT 1 "Furthermore,' 1 have since been pon dering as to who should pay for the ncidentakj Involved in 'illegal quaran- and . loss of time." - Questioned about Mr.- Brttton's state ments this morning. Dr. Parrish said : - "There is no question about the diag nosis the case of the Britton child. She had smallpox In a 'mild form, as Dr. . Abele said. The second case in the ' same household was not smallpox and was never .pronounced that.: There was no reason to quarantine In the sec ond case and every reason for quaran tine in the first. If this office declined to quarantine smallpox because of its mild form we would be in a pretty fix trying to control an epidemic. "Dr. Abele in a recognized authority In the diagnosis of smallpox and he has repeatedly reassured me that there was no mistake In the diagnosis of the first case at the Britton home."
