"It is the principle of the thing.

couree'we realise that the loss of

District Office System
Place, Acting As Assistant
To Mr. Nash Wllo Will Have Full Responsibility
Of Accounts—Appointment Temporary But Like-
The second district commissioners have brought to an end
multitude of applicants for the
position of Arthur Sterling, former chief clerk now facing charges
of embezzlement of the district funds, by appointing Clarence 0.
Nash brother of Commissioner Horace]!
R.N,ash to fill the posi-
Nash's appointment is likely to
be permanent in view of his work
in untangllng the accounts of the
department following the discovery
that Sterling and Percy G. Donn,
assistant clerk. had milked the
funds of over $15,000 in four years.
He has been at work on the books.
aided by Elmer Bracken. former
city engineer. and other clerks from
time to time, for the past three
weeks and reports that the books
are now nearly completely straight-
ened out. Mr. Nash, who is about
43 years old. is an accountant and
has for several years been employed
in that capacity by the C. A. Jen-
nings company of New York. He
will probably rccclvc Sterling's 860
a week salary.
Active in Probe.
When the dcfalcatlon was first
suspected Nash was one'of the men
brought in to establish the facts of
the case. He declares that the
accOunts were in a state denoting
poor bookkeeping ability as well as
dishonesty.
The revolution in the office is ex-
pected to go even farther with the
commissioners' decision at the so a
meeting to employ a woman for he
position held formerly by Donn.
Her situation will be that or stone—
grapher and assistant to‘Mr. Nash
and full responsibility will therefore
rest upon him rather than on two"
men as was formerly the case.
The new incumbent expresses
the old regime and declares that
and after time to make all back ec-
counis clear, .his first step in the po-
sition will be to install some more
easily understandable and modern
system that will at the same time
be an open book to examiners.

ing of the books by outsiders Mr.
Nash stated that every good 1c-
countant appreciates frequent cg.
amlnntlons of his accounts by a sece
011d party as a check upon the sec
curacy of his work. and said fur—
thormore that as far as he is con—
corned the books of the watcrdec
partment will be opened on demand.
He is of the opinion that even a.
private citizen in doubt about his
right to be shown the figures and
have them explained to full satis-
faction.
While the projected change in the
system has not been worked out as
described by Mr. Nash it will pro-
vide a double or triple check and
an absolutely fool-proof combina-
tion.
