Having answered Mayor Cox’s

what it means when he says that
$16,000 isn’t a large amount for Way

cross hasn't, borrow as high as $30,-

Mr. Mayor, the Knight Administra

Editor Evening Herald:
1 sinctlily trust that this will be
my last time to annoy the public
with a iihwb paper article. I deplore
these controversies, however, 1 shall
•.it all times be prepared to defend my
self against, wrongful ataiks. This
'hole question arose in my opinion,
from nothing else than an effdt to
Mscredit the usefulness of this ad
ministration, and to attempt to show
the public that your Mayor and Al
dermen are squandering your money.
This cannot be shown. 1 advocated
early in January, and shall advocate
t Council meeting tomorrow night,
the engagement at once, of an expert
Accountant to audit all the city’s
books for 1909 aud 1910. Every muni
.-(polity's books should be audited at
least once each year, and each and
every voucher drawn against the city’s
funds should be thoroughly scrutiniz
ed and checked. Your Mayor has the
signing.of these checks, and during
his absence it becomes the duty of
the Mayor Pro-Tern to sign them.
The books and records of every em
ployee. who handles a penny of the
city’s money, should be thoroughly
audited and every item checked. An
honest man welcomes the auditing
of his books, It is a dishonest mqn
that objects. I hope and believe that
my able Council will bad* me Ir
thcJe efforts. I have advocated ev
ery since 1 have been Mayor, the in
Maliation of a simple and up to date
set of books. We are now keeping
mem a andums which is absolutely
wrong. Tho present dystem has been
in vogue for years. We have , no
tooks nor consolidated records to As
certain our resources and liabilities,
and the only way to get ut the same
it by picking it out itoni memory. ,i
I am happy to say that wo are now
endeavoring to remedy this matter,

REGARDING SATURDAY’S CONVER
SATION WITH MAYOR COX.
Editor Herald,
Dear Sir;
Since the publication Saturoay of
amatory regarding conversation be
tween our mayor J. M. Cok and my-
f-elf, I have had another conversa
tion with him, and fiorn statements
made lo me I am satisfied that the en
tile matter was a misunderstanding.
Mayor Cox has assured me that he
would do all in his power for the
Board of Trade, stating that he is In
sympathy with the work of the or
ganization, and would continue his aid
in every way possible.
This I am very happy to make pub
lic, as the Board of Tirade needs the
co-operation of all citizens.
Very truly yours,
C. F. Andrews.
