by the department and III total re
ceived by tli prlira Judse. K-ex-amtnatlon
of funda handled by th

Joint Hludy
Recreation Director Bam Smith
and Matthew had made a thorough
r-f lamination ot the books during
th past week before Malthrws la
part was submitted lal mailt.
At a continuance of th audit re
port hearing last night Matthews
staled he has no theory on what
has happened to the $233 4. II slat
ed th discrepancy could be very
well laid to faulty bookkeeping.
He added later In th eaalnn that
there waa nothliu to Indicate mis
appropriation of funda by the de
partment o(IL tore.
According to last night written
report a portion ot the $532 39 dis
crepancy alleged In the audit was
the result of Issuing 1 receipt to

en considerable amount of time In
an attempt to solve thla remaining
difference and. due to th account

further proara In the solution."
Smith told the council that sine
th Urn lht the receipts were In

Ing yslm haa been changed to
prevent reocourenc ot th discrep
ancies. He said the system has been
working perfectly sine then.
Conclusion?
Councilman Alfred Condrey re
marked that tile future hd no bear
ing on th past and wanted to
know what conclusion could b
drawn for the $322.94.
"la It possible," Condrey asked
Smith, "that one of your employes
could have 'gone south' with th
money?"
Bmlih replied. "That Is always
possible, but I believe It Is not th
cae In this Instance "
Councilman De'rell Miller then re
marked that. "After hearing all the
discussion on hew Ihe department
book were kept. I am surprised
that they are not short more."
Hyatem Hlady
"I would be willing." Miller said,
"to have the auditor look over th
system of bouts used snd make
sure that they ate sufficient tor th
Job being done."
I don't be lev." Miller conduct
