BOOKKEEPING HELD' FAULTY
Complete Change of System Ad
vocated in Order That Better
Records of Deals Be-. Made.
x Not only has the city paid bills twice,
but employe have received double pay
on occasions, declared Auditor George
Punic this, morning: - In supplementary
assertions of Monday that wasteful
handling of city funds Is due to a lax
system of accounting:. . r.i : i
On? .occasions, the second warrant has
been returned to the .city by firms and
employes,, the auditor said, aid some
times mistakes have been caught in the
auditor's office, but there Is no way of
checking en sums that have rone out In
double payments never to. return. ' ' -' ,
- Mr. Funk submitted further instances
wherein the city had paid twice for one
delivery and the second warrant had
been returned to the municipality 'by
an honest' firm or employe. ,-:
Dan Stokes, an employe of the fire
bureau, is alleged to have been paid $66
twice for the same work in January.
John Clements, a municipal shop em
ploye,' was overpaid $13.60 by The city
In January, It is claimed. ' i
t The Northwest ' Steel company re
ceived two warrants -for - $17.2 and re
turned one. according; to the auditor's
office. The bill was rendered In DeV
cember. - - - ,
y The Strewbridge Hardware and Paint
company .was paid $4.20 on 'two occa
sions for i foods delivered in-November
to the fish boat. Funk says.
: Two warrants for $17.40 were mailed
to the Fobes Supply company-for one
shipment delivered at the shops In Jan
uary, the records Indicate : ;
r Munnell and Sherrlll returned the sec
ond warrant rafter they had been paid
py meparK oureau, according to
the auditor, -The warrants were drawn
In the sum of $45.60, and the shipment
delivered In November. '
. That the second warrant was returned
in each case by the- company or, employe
Is the statement of Mr. Funk. 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." ;

REPORT OF SMALLPOX MADE
Dr. Parrish Declares , Case Was
'Diagnosed as . More Severe
- Disease Before Ban Put On.
Edward Britton. 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.
Mr. Britton 'declares that on June 7
his small daughter suffered from. a slight
fever, followed by a rash. The next day
the 'family physician pronounced the
complaint a case of chicken pox. and ac
cordlngly - is said to - have -notified the
health bureau. - On- June 9, .Mr. Britton
says, a - health bureau physician diag
nosed -. the case as : mild . smallpox and
placed ' a quarantine upon the Britton
home, vaccinating Mrs. Britton and her
2-year -olJ- son.' - - -. ; .
"MILD SMALLPOX BEPOBTED
, Dr. Parrish contradicts Mr. Britton'
statements by saying that , the case of
the girl was reported to his office by Dr,
J. O. Grim as "suspicious smallpox," and
that Dr. John Abele, for 10 years an au
thority in smallpox diagnosis, verified
the findings. The quarantine was then
applied. "- si' -
Not believing that his child had small
pox. Mr. Britton called another physl
clan, on June 10 and the case was again
diagnosed chicken pox. . On June 13 the
same, physician again repeated jhls de
-"On June 1$ the city physician was
called on the phone and requested to ex
amine the case again, as I had every
reason to believe it was chicken pox,"

that.' the- bureau did not make second
calls, as they were too busy-that I was
in for two weeks. The bureau promised
to send a physician II possible. . The lot
lowing, morning I called Dr. Parrish on
the telephone, explained the ease to him
in detail' and told him I thought I was
entitled to ? further attention. -:r -He took
the nam ef : my - family physician -as
well as the. name of the other physician
and promised to Investigate the case. :
;"I heard " nothlnlr further from, him
until I called him again on June 24. In
the meantime, although the. vaccination
failed to take on the boy, he was found
broken out en June 21 with even -a light
er case than the girl, no fever having
unn nuticcu. . . . ... - ... :
"The girl being due out of " quarantine
on June 23, and no health officer appear
ing, I called Dr. Parrish and asked him
what progress he was making with the
investigation. 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. I told her I had 'an
other case, whereupon she said, Qh then
you must stay -there, two weeks . more.'
LAWTER CALIED .
' "t then called ray lawyer and told him
to xo after them. . 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."
