I>i\ Boyle drew the attention of
Hip council to the communica
tion of Messrs. Lang and Scott,
in reference to auditing the city's
books. While he thought the
municipal accounts should be
audited, yet he did not think the
city was in a position to pay $250

be audited from the time of the
formation of the municipality,
