| institutions with 67,800 ions of coal next winter had been awarded to-

assertion of park officials that the books had not been audited for 10 years. Park Board members, informed of the annual audit, said they had been under a misapprehension, presumably ’ because reports - on the audits have been made tq the City Controller instead of to the Board.
