Bridges has under tken to rewrite the statutes covi Aig the functions of his office to bring the law up to date and make it conform with accepted good practice in state accounting. No real revision of the statutes setting out the .duties of the auditor has been made in many -years. Meantime, the executive bud get act had tendered some provisions of the auditor’s code obsolete. Also expanding needs of a fast growing state government has adsled es sentials duties to the office which are not specifically authorized by the section covering auditing fun ctions. CLARIFIED Actually, Bridges says, the revision is more in the nature of clarification than basic change. The proposed bill, which £vill be introduced within a few days, would restore to the auditor’s office the responsibility for setting and supervising accounting systems in the several state departments and institutions. For some years this authority hes been vested in the budget bureau, although the work has actuallq been done by the auditor.
