I do not intend to question the work done by our public auditors appointed by the general assembly but we should not expect too much from public auditors to whom the law allows for their service but $10 a day, and as I understand provides nothing for assistance. The business of the treasurer's office runs into many millions a year; he has author- ity to deposit these funds where he pleases It seems to me that it would tend to serve the public inter- est and stabilize publie confidence to have this audit made now by a firm of accountants who were not connect- ed in any way with public office or public officlals and whose impartiality and competency would noi be qens tioned. This, in my opinion would be the first thing a business concern or large business would do under simi- lar circumstances. ‘Wants Opinion At Once “Please glve me, at your earliest convenience, your opinlon as to Wwhether as governor I have author- 4 fiooding the' strects.

She endeavored to state that Officer Feeney, upon his arrival, stuck his head between two curtains and stated that the place was under arrest, This the oflicers denied say- ing that they did not arrest Chivralotti until after the liquor had been found. Mrs. Chivralotti stated that the liquor was for the family's personal use and was not kept for sale. An amusing situation arose in the case of Mrs, Antonio Vernalli of 126 High street, arraigned on a charge of violating the lquor law, who was represented by Attorney P. F. Mc- Donough. It had been testified that a man had entered her home and came out in 20 minutes intoxicated. In presenting an argument Attorney McDonough statéd that he did not think a man could get drunk in that short time. Judge Hungerford asked him how long he thought it takes to get drunk. Attorney McDonough sald that he did not know because he never indulged but perhaps “your ity to cause such an audit of the treasurer’s office to be made.
