respectfully report that they have had the under
consideration and have found upon examination, some
slight in the debts for and pon money
received the County Treasurers Office and that there
has been charged in all IS 81 100 less than tho
actually received from that source that the credit for de-
nquen returned for the year 1860 is S27
than the amount actually returned appears by the books
of tho County Treasurer They also find from said balance
sheet that the first day of July, A. d. 1860, the State
indebted to the County Of denqne
rc ned the sum of SIS 3 81 upon which the State re-
ceved interest at per cent until the LIST Monday 0co-
Der following and from that date interest ut the of %
per and upon which the State required by law to
pay tho County interest at the rate Of ton per per
annum yet the Auditor General in apparent violation
such provision of law has only credited interest the
of per cent leaving deficiency in the credit the
county for interest 1924 So

county the LIST day of July last to be Sii3 % greater
than the balance rendered by the Auditor General You

repeatedly applied to the Auditor General previous years
credit interest to the county at the rate prescribed by
