Book Description

Excerpt from Forty-Fourth Annual Report of the Board of Directors of the Chicago Public Library, 1915-1916 We have audited the books and accounts of the Chicago Public Library for the year ended May 31, 1916, and find them to be correct. We were permitted by the City Treasurer's office to examine the library account in the books of the city, and we find that the receipts of interest, taxes, etc., entered therein agree with the receipts in the library books. In company with two of the Directors and the Secretary, we inspected the securities representing the various investments, all of which were produced to us. We have also examined the foregoing statements and compared them with the books, vouchers and securities, and we certify them to be correct.
