If the work of the supervisor is not worth the cost, or can, In the main, be done by the county school superintendent where most needed, as the committee is led to believe, then it is the committee's judgment that all school trustees of the county should be urge,d to prompt ly consider this matter, and see whether a saving may not be effected in this department, as suggested, and without detriment to the efficiency of the public schools of Jackson county, In the welfare of which every true American citizen in the county is deeply interested. County Surveyor. The committee understands that the county surveyor has received more than $5 per day for county work, which is the amount the com mittee understand is fixed by law; and which is the amount paid by a citizen for the surveyor's services. With this understanding your com mittee urges that the county court be requested to give attention in this and other cases affecting salaries and expenses, and that diligence be ex erted along the line of reasonable and practical economy in the expend iture of county money, in every in stance possible. - Water Master. This'commlttee may not sufficient ly understand the work of the water master. As far as it is acquainted with the same, there is comparatively little to do, and only for a small part of the year. If this is the case the items of $1,250 certainly seem ex cessive, and it is recommended the county court again take this item under consideration. County Roads. In the absence of any information from the county court the committee has no satisfactory knowledge as to the item of $37,200 for county roads. The committee believe. this Item should be Itemized, in harmony with the requirements of the mandamus issued about a month ago by the Ore gon supreme court upon the Tilla mook county commissioners, wherein they were commanded by the writ as follows: "To prepare an estimate of the amount of money proposed to be raised by taxation for the ensuing year in said Tillamook county under the general heads for road purpose, surveyor's office and district attor ney's office; not only the aggregate amounts under said heads, but to show and set out therein, under sep arate heads, (1) the amount required for the improvement, (2) or main tenance of each public highway, (3) each road, (4) each street, (5) each bridge, (6) the number of supervis ors required (7) the amount of the salary of each (8) and the amount of their combined salaries, (9) the amount necessary for repairs on ma chinery, and (10 the amount neces sary for supplies; " (See "Oregon Voter," Issue of De cember 4, 1915, pg. 174.) Surely the Jackson county court will itemize this item of the budget for the Taxpayers' League, and your sub-committee urges the most careful consideration as to this item upon county roads. Receipts. It appears that inadvertently there , was omitted from the "Receipts" tht expected fees for the sheriff's office, being estimated at $800, and the in terest and penalties which will prob ably be received on county delinquent taxes, being about $13,000. Thus, the sheriff's office has fur nished this committee, by request, the penalties, Interest and cost re ceipts from January 1, 1915, to De cember 15, 1915, as follows: For 1912 and prior years. .$2,164.30 For 1913 only 6,786.95 For 1914 only 3,989.34 Out when Judge Tou Velle .took office $565,000 Now outstanding (December 20. 1915) 435,000 Reduction during last three years .$130,000 This Is gratifying, as far as it Koes. The outstanding warrants are humil iating evidence of neglect or Incom petence of certain former county courts, and the result of neglect on the part of the taxpayers in failing to keep in touch with the county court and the various departments of the county business. The Individual members of this special committee confess to strong feelings as to shortcomings In the I past in county affairs, resulting in the present heavy burdens upon the taxpayers of Jackson county, yet this committee has conscientiously aimed to be exceedingly fair, and Impartial, and reasonable in each matter or item to which reference is made here in, and with the hope and expectation that publicity and close attention to county affairs by officers and mem bers of this Taxpayers' League and other citizens will result in reducing the tax burdens In this county and in securing greater benefits for future expenditures than has been true in the past.

Time has not been sufficient to en able this committee to ascertain whether or not by means of more thorough co-operation between the departments in systematizing work there could be saved considerable du plication of labor and expense, but the committee is led to believe this is feasible. This "committee therefore recom mends that the Taxpayers' League suggest to the heads of the several departments of the county that they make an effort to see if an additional systematizing of the work can be made to prevent duplication or secure greater economy in handling county business by decreasing clerk hire. It Is recognized that this feature may not strictly come within the province of this sub-committee, but its impor tance leads the committee to make this recommendation.
