II ml that all money received by liliu
hit been properly chanted, and that
lor all money paid out he ha tiled a
proer voucher. The . balaiu-e on

1 find that It ha lieen the culom
tor all time pnt to credit the com
mon iK-hoot fund with the amount
collected for all fine ot the circuit
court and of the Jimtlce of the pence.
All thewt flue thould not lie credited
to the common chool fund. Certain
Liquor 9m, iforcnlralu prohibitory
territory, Rlvlnx liquor to tuluor,)
aault and battery fine, and tinea
tor keeplnR lewd houe, ahould lie
credited tojthe general fund; while
flue tor ale without llcemie, elllnit
to minor dlnonlerly conduct In un

tie credited to chool tund. I have
tiled a atatemutit of the fine anil
amount collected and paid Into the
county treasury ilnoe 100U. allowing
, which fund they hould be credited
to, and from It you will notice there
I due from the hcIiooI fund to the
g -neral fund or county fund the imi
of (1410.41.
I have nudlted the account of
Frank Klklim, ehcrltf, with the col.
lection on the tax roll from Jau. 1,
l'.Hm, to Dec. !H,1t'l0,and have filed a
tatement of the amount collected

until Into the county trcneurer the
Miltiuot (79.W, nil of thU amount ex
cepting the sum of .'l.2."i being placed

Thl lum of $3.25 wn placed to the

thl amount of $.1.25 hIioiiIiI be paid
from the fund beluiiKlng to hcIiooI
dletrlct No. 12. You will notice that
thi'e error occur by paying Into

ot W05.
I have nudlted the account of T
N. Balfour, sheriff, with the col
lection on the tax roll from Jan. 1,
111, to March SI, 1912, and find thnt
the amount hIiowu upon the tax
roll a collected have been properly
paid Into the county trenurer, with
the exception of $ ,40. I find the
distribution of the taxe Iiiih not
been very carefully checked by the
nherlff before paying the amount
luto the county trenmirer anil
II ml a grcut many ciihc In
the collection from January 1,
11)00 to March 81, 11)12, where the
amount ot the npeclal tuxes have
been wrongfully credited. Also the
Hueclal fuud are entitled to their
proportional Interest of 12 per cent
per annum of the amount of Interest
collected on the delinquent taxes.
Thl Interest has not been given to
the different funds.
I have prepared a statement and
filed herewith showing the amounts
due the various school districts and
cltle, and the districts and cltle
that have been overpaid, The
amounts run from a few cents to
over one huuilred dollars In several
cases.

adiulnlstrnfliiii, 1 understand, tor
the sheriff to Ink the fee for wrvli-e

working with or through an under
standing with the county court.
At the reiiieiit ol your body 1 wave

H Uo allowing the cane where service
ha been tor the paier to lw aent to

ing the mileage fee for hi aervlce.
The amount of tee collected by
Frank Klkln amount to (HW'.'p,
and the amount collected by T. N.
Ilnlfour amount to -isl .).
1 find the account of the County
Hupcrliitrndcut with the Institute
fuud correct. The fee tor thl fund I
no longer collected .by the urln
tendiMit. I have examined the account of
the county clerk from Jan. 1, loot) to

I have a tntcment showing the
amount of fee due. 1 have also a
statement of probate fit- due from
certain estate. The error occur
n follow: When llllng the tltloii

charged upon the value of theestat

value ot the estate I fixed when the

In these cae the appraisement
