RrnkerhofT. salary road mast r loo h i Grants Pass. Ore., Feb. 6, 1913. To the Honorable Mayor & Common Council of the C'ty of Grants Pass. Oregon. Gentlemen: In accordance with your instruc tions I have audited the records and accounts of the Recorder's and Treas urer's offices of this city. While the system installed by me one year ago has worked out to good advantage, I think that during the coining year we shall make as much Improvement in efficiency as during the past year. Toward this end I make the following suggestions as to the Improvement of the system. 1st. That a new cash book be pro vided for the auditor, as practically all the clerical errors In the audi tor's office have resulted from the clumsiness and inconvenience of the cash book now in use. 2nd. That an up-to-date City Lien Docket be Installed instead of tw0 books now In use in the auditor's office, l.'e., the City Lien Docket and the Auditor's Improvement Warrant Register. 3rd. That one person, who ?s available at all times during business hours, be authorized to sign requisi tions, as a committee cannot success fully act in an executive capacity. This person will, of course, be sub jected to the supervision of the pur chasing committee. 4th. That time bo turned In for the city team and wagon at the cur rent rate of wages; these amounts to be charged to department for which such work is performed. By compar ing the year's earnings with the cost of feeding, upkeep and repairs, us shown by the auditor s warrant reg ister, a profit or loss will be shown. 5th. That all delinquent accounts in the City Lien Docket be collected at once, in order that the exact standing of the improvement funds will show on the books. Full Inter eat muBt be collected. 6th. That arbitrary transfers from improvement funds to general funds, mentioned In my report last year, be re-transferred to said Im provement funds, amounting to $4. 275. 9. as follows: St $ H6.6S '" St 163.80 6th St , 2908.05 St 337.23 E. tith St 22. 8S "K" St iifi J3 5th St 59 & 60. 107.51 171.3S Total 4 27o.9'5 7th. That no refuuds shall ' be made, excepting on a basis of cash actually remaining In an Improve ment fund, as showu by the treasur er's ledger, after bond sale has been made and all outstanding improve ment warrants takeu up. Sth. That approximately 16.000.00 be set aside each year for the pur pose of creating a sinking fund to re tire the general Indebtedness of this city. When conditions make It nec essary this sinking fund should be In vested in order that the annual pay mem of coupon Interest may be off set. There are no shortages and such clerical errors as have occurred have been corrected. Respectfully submitted, W. H. WAXX. STATKMKXT. General Fund for 11)12.
