No Permit Necessary to View City Books in San Antonio
District Judge Seeligson ordered a mandamus to compel City Auditor Hummel to allow inspection of city accounts, rejecting the claim that a permit from the mayor or finance committee was needed. Testimony showed confusion over access. Hummel denied denying access and stated information could be obtained from the finance chair. The ruling emphasizes every citizen's right to inspect city books without a permit and aims to settle the matter.
