Grand Jury Report.
In the Circuit Court of th s stale
of Oregon, for Washington county.
To Hon, Tims. A. Me Bride, Judge
of the above entitled Court :
We, your undersigned Grand Ju
ry for the Nov., 1S96 tern of said court,
beg leave to present this, our iiuul report,
and respectful') represent that we have
carefully - investigated all charge of
crime presented to us or within the
knowledge of either of us and have re
turned into this court 18 true bills and
5 not true hills.
. We visited the county poor farm and
found il well kept and in nood condition,
Hut would recommend that the dining
room ol said poor farm be not used for
a sitting .mil smoking room by the in
mates ilwrol. And we would further
recommend that the graves upon said
poor farm be in some maimer fenced
for 1 heir protection. .
We have visited the county jail and
the same dees not in any manner meet
our approval, and we would respectfully
recommend that a new jail be built at
this time, for the reason that building
material and labor are cheap, and a new
jail building would not at this time, cost
nearly as much us the same building
would have cost two or three years ago.
lint we find said present jail as well kept,
and in as good condition at the present
time as the facilities thereof will permit.
That we called to our assistance, as
experts, N. Macruui and William Moore
to examine accounts ol the uilkTciU
county olliduls. who have made report
to us that they have found them correct
urn! with balance on hand as per state
ment made to ns by them, .which state
ment is annexed to this repjrt, and
made a part therof ,
We have visited the offices of the
County Clerk, Sheriff. Recorder of Con
veyances, Treasurer, Assessor and Sur
veyor, nd found the books of all the
said officials neatly and pioperly kept
with the exception of the County Treas
urer, and we recommend that the Coun
tv Treasurer start allof his accouiitsanew,
from Ian. tst.and that thereafter he bal
ance all of his accounts the first of every
month, and be more caretul in regard to
errors of charging sums to the wrong ac
counts, and charging accounts with wrong
amounts.
We found all of the county officials
courteous and kind, and also find new
systems and methods arc in rise in the
different offices, w hich improve and aid
officers to expedite business of the coun
ty. ,.
Ami now, having completed our labor
aftera session of idays.we most respect
fully ask your Honor to tie discharged.
Dated this 15th day of Dec, 1896.

The experts report of the Treas
urer's office is not very exhaustive
and the debits and credos, when
balanced, do not correspond with
the amount of cash oi hand. Ac
cording to these, the 'Treasurer h;is
on Wnd $1034 mete than there is
demand. The cb on hand, how
ever,eorrespoiij with the cash book
and is, viz 2915.4S in the
bank and 432.20 in warrants the
equivalei'of cash. In a few words,
at tho ti'iie of experling, the Treas
urer hvil on hand, cash, lp2!J15.4H,
the came balancing with his cash
booi';. but the amounts to the cred
it of the several funds show only
$2313.63. This leaves a discrepancy
of of $1034 so far ns the total of the
funds isconcerued. . The figure bal
ance which is not there was not
found by the experts as thev sim
ply struck off a copy of the Treas
urer's receipts and disbursements.
The public will remember that
the County treasurer Iiob accounted
for every dollar of his keeping. The
trouble is,- the balances to the ered
it of all funds, footed, show $1034
lees than the actual cash (in hand,
so, if 'he charges and credits made
ly the experts lie correct, Mr. t,ady
would have 11 drawdown of that
amouiit.,. But as his cash book bal
ances with cash on hand the trou
ble is not proper credit to account
or accounts. Tho experts should
have found out to which Particular
fund thin ?10."M nhould be credited.
The botdtH of the Treasurer's olliee
badly need systematizing and there
would be no trouble.
An A nous reporter yesterday
sient several hours on the Treas
urer's cash book and general fund
account, checking each dollar re
ceived and paid out. Deducting
from the credit side of the ledger.
(ilii'h nitmliritu iiw urA tint. Pfiti tr
c,'"k , !Hvm...l. the balance of
I general lund eoneHiondH w iihlbe
amount of cash on band w ithin a
very few cenls which could be
foil ml by clone analysis. By this
balancing the countv fund will be
swelh'd to about double the amount
the experts have charged against
the Treasurer in their report. The
Treasurer is now remodeling his
books and will take bis balances as
left by the former comity treasurer
and make a set of entirely new ac
counts. Mr. Only seemed very
willing to help'THE Akgub and pro
duced vouchers and stubs for all
cheeks and receipts, which tally
with the various other 'nttics and
bis own accounts. The only trouble
was in the general fund and the er
rors made could easily have been
made by those who claim to be
good business men. Of course be
feels the censure given him by the
grand jury, as would any one. 1'h'
experts, the Treasurer ihiirk. did
lint treat him exactly right, and he
.-eerns to think that they did not
understand iheir business quite as
well as they should, or they would
have told to which fund the $1034
should have been credited. Mr.
Cady says his books are open to
any reputable citizen and he invites
inspection. Heat least ' has the.
satisfaction of having kept his cash
account in excellent order.
Creamery Burned. '
Last Thursday evening, about
midnight, the South Tualatin
Creamery was burned, eillaijinga
Iocs in the neighborhood of $2000
to the owners. The fire was the re
sult of a defective flue,.' which that
dav had set the wall on fire. This
was extinguished, or .was. thought
to have been, and the Hue repaired.
Some iye coal must have been
slumbering in the siil, or wall, fi
nally breaking into- a blaze, with
the loss of the building' The cream
ery was daily making about 200 lbs.

rebuilding, which is now . under

In about three weeks the new build

How The County Stands.
It is of interest to nil taxpayers
to have some idea of the county's
standing relative to its debits and
credits, and Thk Anatis, hav
ing been importuned by some of its
subscribers, has made some inquiry
into I he hooks of the various offices
and lipds, barring slight errors and
and omissions, the following eon-
lition: (round numbers) The county
had warrants outstanding and or
Jcred drawn, Dec. 11, 1890, in the
.1... 1 -.Mv 1. .1 .
sum 01 .Tol.ow. 11 owes uie
state 011 baclv tax, $7.1-13.08, exclu
-ive of interest. To onset this int
erest hearing debt, as neurits could
ba ascertained, there was about

the year 1S, nearly $40.000, ' bu t !
onlv a small portion of this will ev
er be collected as the greater part
came in under, the old mortgage
lax law. The county holds tax
titlu deeds to several hundred dol
lar's worth of tux lands, probably
lets than $o00. Tho gieater part
of t'nis, especially where the lots or
laiidn are worth more than tho tax
es and costs against them, will h?
redeemed before the three years
will havv expired. The state tax
for 18'.)G Hould have practically
been liquidated but for the apnii"-,
cation of a remittance of $(1700 to
thu old back taxe of several years
ago. The reWttfince was made
with tho intent by applying same
to the ' tax, but it 110 special re
quest was made, the state treasurer
applied it to the old inoVhtedue.
The legislature may tl'is winter
pass a relief bill remitting the old
indebtedness of the several counties
by virtue of the old mortgage tax
law, a::d if it do, this county may
be able to get the sum mentioned

matter now stands, IState treasurer

Sixty Dollars Refunded.
This paper last week published
an account of the employment by
the grand jury. of two experts to
check up the county books and
their receipt of double the implied
contract price by misapprehension.
According to the jurors who spoke
to the analytical accountants, $2.50
per day . each was to have been
paid.' When the bill was audited
by thu grand jury's foreman, the
word "each" was overlooked and as
a result the county paid $120 and
mileage for 24 days labor instead of
$60 and mileage." The Argus was
subjected to considerable criticism
for having made the mutter public
but it gave both sides a hearing in
the article and has nothing to retract
Subsequent to the publication each
of the experts refunded $30.00, if re
ports are true, and the matter has
been satisfactorily settled. The af
fair caused a great deal of comment
ns all parties concerned were quite
prominent.
The matter of amount per diem
for such work has been discussed
by many lately and it is hard to
find a business ni who will say
lhaO$5 00pef day is too much for
competent work of this kind. This
does not enter into the merits of
this cuB3, if, as the grand jurors as
sert, a specific amount was agreed
upon.
