The Sheriff's books are particularly well kent. 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.

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.
