TEAM ENDS | ITS SESSION |. ¥ N. D., Mar. 11.—The Agri- cultural College basketball team | closed a season of 29 contests by | taking a clean sweep of their four} game series with the Flickers with | a final 46 to 17 win. They led at) the half 24 to 9. The Bison played in superb form | last night and found the basket from | all angles. The individual star of | the game was Cy Arnold, Bison! leader and guard. Arnold scored cight baskets and three free throws | for a total of 19 points. In addition | he was the king pin of the Bison play. The game was glorious | close for a strenuous season that the | Bison leader has put in losing but} less than a minute of play in the/ entire schedule. 0, a Lax Methods in Audit- ing Places Addi- tional Burden (Continued from page one) least in duplicate by means of a car- hon. Thereafter, the requisition should be presented to the central; purchasing agent, who would then proceed to issue an order upon some vendor for the goods. This pur-! chase order’ should be four-fold,— one for vendor, one for attachment to the bill when presented, one to department head who is to receive s notice of the ordering st for the purchasing agent’s files. Among other things, it should contain a statement by the city auditor that sufficient moneys have been appropriated to pay such bill. The copy to be at- tached to the bill should provide space so that the person to whom the goods are delivered could certify that the goods as delivered are of the kind, quality and in the quantity ordered. As it stands today, no such certification is made and there is no doeumentary evidence that the city received anything except for the 0. K. of the minor department head. The vendor should be obliged to at- tach this copy of the order to his bil! when presented as evidence that all steps have been taken properly to guard the gity’s interests. Lax Auditing The city auditor, who has been studying proper municipal account- ing procedure, has endeavored to employ an incomplete method along the lines set ‘out, using duplicate copies however. This is a step in the right direction. But, to date he has not put his ideas into force in any department except the division for the poor. Even here lapses have occurred. The statutes of the state requires that all bills shall be fully itemized so that an auditing officer can discover just what was purchas- ed, An examination of less than six months of purchases discloses that the city auditor and the city commis- sion have passed with approval num- erous claims not only , improperly itemized, but wholly lacking in any itemization whatsoever. Laxity of law observance by pu officers is not setting a good ex rest of the public. Again, on back of every voucher at present in use there to be signed by the vendor attesting the propriety of the charge made. jaw. Whether the less is beside the question. not the law, why do all this printing? Yet, as a very conservative estimate, it can be said that fully forty per cent of the elaims examined and’ covering less than-six months of business have no such certification by the seller. This im certainly lax auditing. It is not claimed that the city has suffered in any respect; it is impossible to prove ~ that it has suffered. But, why pre- seribe a method of businass and then fat to observe it. ‘ : “Ag soon as the investigation is léted, other suggestions and eonstructive criticism of existing |. procedu: 1d. | re will be o!
