On r m i uw M a VII his tax receipts they tally to a cent, which, considering the' volume of Dusiness passing through the office the past year, and the fact that the work was new to the Sheriff, and that he received the books several weeks late, and had about a bushel of mail containing money on hand when he began, is remarkable. $3,218.95 COUNTY CLERK-R. H. Howell The County Clerk has collected, according to his receiving book the sum of He has deposited in Treasury up to Jan. 1, 1912 $2854.69 He has deposited today 364.26 Total, $3,218.95 The Clerk could not close his receiving book for December until after hours the 30th, December, and the next two days were holidays, so he deposited today.

' The County Clerk had no previous experience, entered this office new at the business, his predecessor had to go to a homestead and could not instruct him, and he had to rely on the statutes for inforn.ation how to run the office. I think he has made a splendid record. I would suggest, however, that when he makes monthly deposits he segregate the deposit! showing what the money is, deposited. Fees, fines, reedemptions, etc., all of which go through his receiving book re:ord.. His issue of county warrants I have checked up and find the warrants were issued as authorized by the Court.
