Mr. J. P. Shackleford, who wns
elected City Clerk at a called meeting
of the City Council on Friday after
noon last, entered upon his duties
Saturday morning, and has been busy
since familiarizing himself with the de
tails of his office. Mr. Shackleford was
on the police force nearly fourteen
years, and for seven years (luring this
period was city marshal. One of his
duties in the last-named position was
the collection of police fines, street tax
and tax executions, amounting annually
to thousands of dollars. When Mr,
Jack Torbett, the expert accountant,
had finished auditing the city’s books a
few days ago he paid Mr. Shackleford
a high compliment for his accuracy and
efficiency by saying that he had, in his
capacity as accountant, audited the
books of numerous city officials, but
that Mr. Shackleford’s account with
the city was the only one he had ever
found that halnnccd to u cent. Con
sidering the fact that the audit re
ferred to covered a period of seven
yearB and involved thousands of transac
tions, it is not only a fine record of
efficiency, but a moBt unusual one.
