AUDITING State Auditor
Henry L. 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.

SLOGAN “EVERYBODY WINS”
One of the features of this un
ique contest is the fact that there
are no losers in the race, as a cash
commission of 20 per cent ($1 out
of every $5 collected) will be paid
each week to all active participants
which, in itself, is an excellent
business proposition.
This is most emphatically not a
“lucky drawing” nor a “something
for nothing” affair. Instead it is a
business proposition pure and sim
ple.
It’s object, very frankly, is to
further expand our ever increasing
list of subscribers in this area
quickly and effectively; to adver
tise jointly the outstanding quali
ties of the new Packard line of au

Bill Would Offset

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17— The

bill would offset government at
tempts to control inflation, Sen.’
Irving M. Ives said today.

housing as a defense measure while
the Federal reserve board is trying,

inflation.
However, Sen. John J. Sparkman,

would not be any more inflationary'
than “food, bread, clothing or med
icine.” , -

witnesses.

frequency but may have to pay a
nominal maintenance and usage fee.

ed Councilman Joe Wilkins forthe 1

tion of the' town’s mobile radiQ
equipment. The mayor added his
