Mr. Mayor, the Knight Administra tion turned over to your Administra tion $10,000.00 In cash, and $13,000.00 In uncollected taxes, from which you collected $11,000.00.

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, t.r the citizens of Waycross want us to hoard their money in the Tress- A CARO FROM C.f.

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.
