AUDITOR AND TREASURER.
To the General Assembly of the State Of No..
The joint Committee of the Senate and

Governor to make settlement with the Audi
tor and Treasurer, report that they met at
the seat of government and made a careful
examination of the books and vouchers in the
offices of the Auditor and Treasurer, and now
respectfully submit the following as the re-
suit of their examination.
On the first dav of October 1888, there
was a balance in the Treasury of S53,468
10, including the sum of Sl,299 SO which
last amount was in the bank of the State OF
Missouri. and enormously placed to the cred
it of the State.
'fhe amount of the receipts of the Trea-
Surv during the two fiscal years ending on
the SOth DIV of September A. ID. 1910 was
S654.926 81. which with the balance in the
Treasury on the first of October A. ID. 1888,
amounts to S698,394 So. Warrants were
drawn on the Treasury during those two fs-
cal wears amounting to S623.l70 70. The
warrants redeemed by the Treasurer, during
the last two fiscal years, amount to S622,.
$50 10. The balance chargeable to the
Treasurer on the first of October A. ID. 1910,
WAS SG5,435 "a, and there are two warrants
still outstanding amounting TO S2Il57, whlc!
were drawn on the Treasury prior TO the
first of October last.

Leaving the balance

Surer S59,853 Ga
SAID balance con-
sists of the following
items:
LIST. Money, 5000 81
81. Wolf Scalps. S7,77O 90
81. The unsettled
accounts with the bank.
The Committee nave not had the means oi
ascprtainIng what is the actual state of the
accounts between the Treasurer and the
Bank. because the Bank has rendered to the
Auditor no full and regular statement Of IFS
accounts to a later date than April A. ID.
1910. and also because the Bank has furn-
iShed the Auditor with no vouchers to show
that il has paid the interest on the State
bonds as 1t became due IF the State stock
dividends. The officers of the Bank have
reported that in addition to the dividends on
the State stock which by law are required to
he vested in the sinking fund, there has &c.
crued in dividends on said stock the sum OF
$4,000 GO. This sum ought under the law
to be applied by the Bank to the payment OF
the interest upon the State bonds, and tho
presumption is that it has been so applied
but we have NJ voucher for such payment.
In consequence Of the Bank having furnished
no suc.'l voucher TO the Auditor, no warrant
has been issued by the Auditor upon the
Treasurer for that amount, and the whole
amount still ST. nds charged to the Treasurer.
The Committee cannot undertake to rem
der any statement If the accounts between
tine Treasurer and Bunk, but it is manifest
from the books and papers in the offices OF
the Auditor and Treasurer. that if the bank
has paid the interest on the SLlte bonds, as
we presume it has. then the amount TO which
the Bank would be entitled would more than
absorb the above balance and leave the Trea'
sury in debt to the Bank. OF course the
