quiry, offered the following report:
IL the Board Of Supervisors OF Howard 20
Iowa Your Com. of enquiry would respect
fllly beg leave to report rs follows =.
Your Committee find that the Books and
accounts OF the Ex-County Judge. Hon. }. Z.
Upton. have been thoroughly revised by his
direction and from careful examination of
his accounts, and the duplicate accounts OF
the Recorder and Treasurer II. A. Cook, we
are satisfied that they are correct.
We would further report in reference to
the accounts of the Ex-Ireasurer, II. "A.
Cook, that we have entered into minute
examination ofhis Books and accounts, and
&c found discrepancy on the face OF his
reports to the Auditor Of State apparently
against him, to the ammount Of about Sl57,
but on examination of his receipts and vouch-
ers from the State, we found receipt for
sixty dollars not accounted for by the State;
and on further Investigation, found that the
accounts Of said Cook with said auditor OF
Iowa, balanced within one or two dollars,
which appear to be in favor of said II. A.
Cook We found the same difficulty with
his County accounts; and upon footing his
accounts in detail, found nearly the same
result as on State accounts, balance APP
pearing in his favor. We are satisfied that
no further investigation of these two accounts
would result in any financial good to this
County.
Your Committee also find that the Ex-
District Clerk, MR.. H. B. Harris. has not
posted his accounts and righted up his Books
as he agreed to. We learn that he has
been repeatedly called upon to do So We
also learn that there already appears upon
the face of his accounts defalcation of over
$500 90; but the unfinished state ofhis books
prevent our making definite report.
We are informed by Mr. Jewett who has
the posting of the accounts; that he will I'm
ish said accounts in about two weeks, when
more definite report might be made: there
also appears to be quite an amount OF fees IN
his hands not paid over to the proper officers:
We would recommend that full report OF
his case be made to the District Attorney,
so that he may take proper legal action up
on it. ~ sa
We would further recommend that saio
attorney be consulted before any action be
taken upon Mr.. C. M. Munson's resolution OF
last Session. in relation to said Harris retain
ing certain receipts and papers belonging to
the County, all Of which we most respectfully
submit. June 5th, 1861.
