TO STANDARDIZE ACCOUNTS
Hew Methods Slay Be Adopted by the
City Data.
ETGIKEEB HAS TRIED THE PLAN
Bl Savins; Has Been Mad to tha CltJ
br an Improved Ifiteia of K.e
lac the Books of taa City
' Engineer.
A plan to standardise the aoocrunts of all
th. city departments so that unnecessary
bookkeeping- and wast, may be avoided la
now being ooiuSder.d by members of the
city council. Tha plan will follow closely
tii recommendations made a year ago by
Deputy Comptroller Fred H. Cosgrovc,
after he made a trip through the east ex
amining the accounting systems In many
different cities. This trip was made at
the request of the city government and
Mr. Cong-rove's suggestions on his return
were put Into practice In the engineering
department, where they have been a suo
cess. "The other departments run completely
out of money before the year Is up and
have to retrench heavily for the last few
months," said City Engineer Craig. "We
are saved this annoyance by knowing at
any time just where we stand and at the
close of every day in the year we know
how much money we have left."
"Die department has been saved as
much as $1,000 a month," said George I
Carapen, his assistant, "and we have es
caped the great leakage there used to be
in distributing our supplies. And although
we can have a dally balance the system Is
so much simpler that one bookkeeper was
discharged as unnecessary after we put
this Into effect."
Oeorge C. Bryant, a statistician for the
United States census bureau, who has been
working on the books of the comptroller
for several weeks, haa expressed himself
as of the opinion that the system now- In
vogue her Is rather old-fashioned and as It
was established twenty -five years ago
something better could probably be found.
There will doubtless be some opposition
to the plan If It Is proposed, aa Its adop
. tlon will mean the discharge of some of the
clerical staffs of the various department
The saving to the city, however, will prob
ably lead to a resolution being Introduced
Into the council at the next meeting of the
committee of the whole.

OMAHA SHOW IS OF THE WEST
Editorial la Denver Paper Gives the
Omaha Land Show a Very
Strong? Boost.
The Western World of Denver, under th.
heading of "The Land Show," writes the
following editorial:
"The king Is dead! Long live tha king I
Such is the story of the land shows. The
reign of Pittsburg is past; Chicago Is now
at the height of Its glory; soon will come
Omaha. Each presents peculiar advantages
to Its own section. Pittsburg brought to the
attention of the far east things of which It
had not dreamed. To the east there was
presented the first opportunity, tight at Its
own door, so to speak, to learn of the
opportunities now opening In th. south and
west Concret. examples were shown of
the wonderful productivity of the new
farms in the rapidly developing sections of
the reawakened south and of the virgin
west; of the bounteous crops which are
being grown and th. superior excellence of
these crops. -
"The railroads, north, west and south,
have been given large repi esentatlon and
are making particular effort to Interest
humekeekers In the lands along their lines.
They will also be well represented at
Omaha In January; aa will be the states to
the west. The Omaha show Is more partic
ularly of the west, aiming to set forth the
resources Inherent n the newer states. It
will b. a practical demonstration of what
the west can do, and will prove of consid
erable educational value to the farmers of
the middle west who are looking for the
opportunities which may be found In the
unbroken lands of th. farthaet west"
