City relieved as accountants finish city books review
Messrs Boges and Smith state examiners completed nineteen weeks of city book review up to the present time. They found the city ran about 1800 in debt from their work. Billing at eight dollars per day per man, amounting to 96 weekly, will be charged to the county auditor. No prior appropriation existed for their bill, forcing cuts in street department funds and other appropriations. The final report will go to Indianapolis for chief authority, then to this city.
