EXAMINING CITY’S BOOKS.

Field Examiners Here Looking Into City and School Affairs. REMINGTON ANO WHEATFIELD I? J Will Be Examined By Messrs. Weist and Booe, Who Are Making the'lnvestigation Here —Nothing Sensational Is Expected To Be Found, However.

I. D. Weist of Indianapolis and E. S. Booe of Kingman, Field Examiners under the State Accounting Board, came Wednesday and are making a thorough examination of the city and school corporation’ books. They will also examine the books of the town and school corporations at Remington and- Wheatfield. The work here, because of the city' water and light plant, will take them perhaps ten days, but at Remington and Wheatfield only a few days will be necessary, it is thought, at each place. The city paid SBOO for an examination of its books two years ago, which no one was asking for, and everything then was found practically correct. The field examiners have the report of the experts who got this SBOO, but will, of course, use it merely as reference in conducting their examination. No charges of dishonesty have been made by any one in the conduct of our city affairs—only gross extravagance —arid it is not anticipated that the examination will disclose anything of a sensational nature. Messrs. Weist and Booe work on municipal* and school corporation affairs' only” and will not make any examination of the county’ offices. In fact the State Board has not yet begun to examine the county offices to any extent as yet, if at all, and a different set of examiners will look after that branch of the work.
