poor farm has been o perated w ithout
undue w aste to th e county, and th a t
th e p resen t m anagem ent of th e farm
has been successful.
F u rth e r recom m endation was m ade
th a t all records of sales of produce
of th e poor farm should be filed in
the office <W th e county a u d ito r so
th a t a co rrect and com plete check
could be m ade on th e profits.
“ We fin d ,” says th e rep o rt, “ th a t

feel th a t th e re should be tom e m ethod
of show ing on the books of th e coun­

records of th e farm m an ag er are sub­

m ately $8300 above th e cost of pro­

” ln addition we find th a t a large

resented in p erm anent im provem ents

pear on th e county a u d ito r’s books.
