Show Gratified to See Audit Report Out Cdltorp Th Telegram: I notic in th prets that our peciJii auditors havo at last reached tht last straw oa tho odse of tho deotrt with any nutrition that ean bo used aa food in their Investigation of graft and corruption corrup-tion In our city. They givo tho date aa January 7 114 just two Uays after tho enemy entered .and sowed tares in our own clean field ot healthy growth. By that 1 mean by tho Induction of an onemy Into tho off.ee el city auditor that culminated cul-minated into tho condition that ws aro now in. Whero ar the hugs sums that have been diverted from not aJono our city treasury but from tho cltlxens in spoctai ira provement? Tho special auditors, from ths day thoy started, now nearly ftf-toon ftf-toon months ago, purposely wal lowed through a Verdant pasturo whora thoy did not have to make any ogortlons, but could hav uncovered un-covered sums that would put ths little amount of mora than a quarter quar-ter of a million dollars in th shads. No comparison can b had of how great th amount will b when it is fully disclosed, but Judging from what has been found on the outskirts, out-skirts, and it has taken sixteen yeara, four months to find th start of pilfering of city funds, will it be me before w will know what became of th money of the 191 bond Issuer Will it b 193 before we know why It coat such exorbitant exor-bitant sums as were spent in meter purchase and Installation and water service connections from 2t to 1927? V'Ul it be- 1M4 before we know th outcome of the l2t apeclal audltT Will It be 1141 before be-fore w know why th sums of taxes do not balance with the sums paid by tb county treasurer and the sums credited In the annual re ports as issued by th city auditor' office In 1I2I-297 These ar fact that must be brought to light and brought ut In th open. It is hoped now that th auditors ar on a retrogressive move that they will proceed at a greater speed than when they were on the outskirts. Th field I ripe for a good harvest that In the outcome out-come will clean the field so that we can plant again and enjoy a bounteous harvest, free from smut and weeds, and everybody happy and rejoicing.
