MR. MURPHY TO
LEAVE FINANCE
COMMI’t‘T‘EE
(Continued from F‘lnst Page)
After unnecessary delay. protest Was
made to you. personally, by the writer
and publication of the amendment
was secured, but we later found
(what you and the. corporation coun-
cII must. or should have known at
the outset) that‘it was framed only
in general terms, not specific. and
therefore, would be - ignored by the
autiitor.
I believe your latest ruling in rela i
itch to this matter, was to the effect
that if any member oi the council
is dissatisfied with the methods pure
sued, he may prefer charges against
the aduitor. Personally, l believe the
fault lies with yott.
l have carefully considered the
whole matter and have concluded that
l have not had proper training to qual-
ify me for the particular type of fln-r
ance committee which your adminis-

tender my resignation. to take effect
