Work on the auditing of the city
oks was started this morning by
J L. A. Witter, representing A. J. Tour-.
tellotte, certified public accountant of

installation of a new and modern sys
tem of bookkeeping to meet the grow
ing needs of the city administration.
A. n. Hedges, another accountant, is
expected to start work tomorrow.
This system which was outlined by
Dean II. Walker, chairman of the fi
nance committee of the council, is re
placing an obsolete .system that has,
been outgrown by the city which for
some time has been badly in need of
a more efficieiit method, Mr. 'Walker
said today. ;
"The growth of city business keep
ing pace with tlie growth nnd pro
gress of the city forced tho need of a
change from the antiquated system of
bookkeeping we have been tining," Mr.
Walker said. "Tho much needed audit
now unjder way will make things
ready for the start of the new book
system and under this arrangement
each month the council will have a
complete balance, sheet to inspect and
note the financial "standing of the
city," tho councilman states.
