City Clerk Dodge read communication from C. G. Uhlenberg in regard to the cost of auditing books and accounts of the city monthly in the form of a continuous audit and submitting monthly reports to the council, which information had been re- quested of him by Councilmen Armstrong and Granger. The cost of this service, including the annual report, would not exceed '$1500.00 annually. . Councilman Granger moved that the matter be placed on the agenda of the next meeting and that some thought be given to this plan as a subotitute to hiring a treasurer. The present treasurer, if this proposed plan went into effect, would remain as treasurer and divorce himself as auditor. The.public auditor would act as city auditor. In his opinion, Coiincilman Granger believed the city would derive the same result from this plan as it would if a treasurer were appointed.
