Your attention is called to the fact that at present there is no reliable data incorporated in the books so as to show the cost of repairing any particular building. We understand that improved methods of handling repairs are now under advisement. Subject to the foregoing, therefore, we certify that the various schedules as contained in the report of the comptroller correctly present the transactions of the quarter ended March 31, 1914, and that they are in accordance with the books.
