which today filed with the county
commissioners an audit of the
county's business for l'yit.
The report recommends ihnt nr.
entire new system of accounting
be devised, one that would furnish
tho county officers as well as the
public with an Intelligent idea of
where the taxpayers' money goes.
Tho present system, the report de
clares, was brought about by hap
hazard procedure. It does not
show the financial worth of the
county, docs not list the county's
assets, nor Is any distinction made
between the expenses of adminis
tration find operation, and all de
partment records are so badly kept
that a reconstruction of the lioolts
is necessary to provide what might
lie termed an accurate report. -;
In addition to making these rec
ommendations the an tilt 'severely
criticizes the Multnomah countv
road department for the manner
in which the record of its expend
itures is kept, and with the county
superintendent, whose r e c o r d s.
the report declares, should .go be
fore the district attorney in order
that they may be properly straight
