The accounts of the treasurer, as
kept by your oresent ofllcer. reflect
gret credit upon the conduct of this
office and the almost entire absence of
even trifling errors enable us to unhes
itatingly pronounce the : entire record
es being correct. The desirable and ad
mirable manner in whlfch; 'thenances

In no measure dlue to the protection
afforded by a raeguard system,, but
entirely to the effort cf an efnclent of

In I conclusion permit us to state
that the. work of checking the records
ox this county was to some extent an
unsolicited issue. Our purpose at - the
onsH was the installation of a progres
sive iytem at, the onset was the instal-
leilon of a progressive system and we
were well advised as to the needs of

your records have recelved?nd in this

been' unusuafly hampered and subject
ed to unnecessary and I unreasonable
rest rlctlons an , annoyances which
have In no small measure extended the

have .materiall i added to - Its ; cost.
M-oreover, we have been unfairly treat
ed hi being obliged to perform a most
particular character of service under
circumstances calculated to render Its
thorough and accurate accomplishment
an almost impossible feat, in these en

The committee stated that it had In-1
vestigatcd the work thoroughly and
nao: round it had neen done very com-j
piiery,7 xpcarnvusjy ia economical
ly and with accuracy and had been of
much greater value to the county than
the expense. The committee ; recom
mended that- Messrs. Clark and Bu

devoted to the work of expertlng the
books and that. John W. Cochran,- who
was employed to assist in 'the work

The experts applied for. some com

to act upon. i! ' .
Tho committee recommeded further
that, as the present system of keeping
the records was somewhat out of date,
the county; adopt a new system which
would be more satisfactory and ac
curate, but the new system which was
submitted by the experts and recom
mended for adoption was not passed
