Quoted from the cash account, as error,
but no sufficient explanation of such
error could be obtained by us, either
from the books of Mr.. BuIinell, or any
of his employees, under which circup-
stances we thought itpour duty to disal-
low the sum and charge it to Mr.. Bum
nell without interest.
This sum of one hundred and twen-
| ty-five and 23-100 Dollars we find dis
tributed on the cash book to the severni
funds as follows, viz:
| County, $1S,49; State, 50, 80; School,
81, 40 Bounty, S22,0l /; Volunteer, S9,55;
East Waterloo Road, S4,l7; District
School, $22,10;. Cedar Falls, Road, $4,14;
District School, SO; Big Creek Read,
| so, !; District School, $43,Sl. Which
amounts are to be added to their several
appropriate funds mentioned in the
above tables ~ 80 aa
Wealso find reported as disbursed in
Trcasurer's report of the quarter ending
March 3lst, 1866, I'm Bounty fund, the
sum of two hundred and fourteen and
50-1O0 dollars, which was wrongfully
paid to Edmund Miller, on the Sth day

vertised warrant, the property of VIM.

charged the same to Mr.. Bunnell, this
added to the sum of So, OF above re-
ported, makes the deficit in the bounty
fund of two hundred and. thirty-six
and 51-1O0 dollars. TO recapitulate:
we find the total deficit against Mr..
Bunnell with interest, to be the sum of
nine thousand two hundred and twelve
and 91-100 dollars, belonging to- the
several funds as follows, to-wit:

| We also find that since the passage
and taking effect of chapter, seventeen
and one hundred and sixty eight ofthc
act of the ninth General Assembly Of
the State of Iowa, Mr.. Bunnell had on
hand in the Treasury ut times specie In
considerable amount and also that he
received fees to large amount for the
payment of Foreign taxes under said
chapter one hundred and sixty-eight
i'm. both OF which Instances no Inns kept
no account az the law directs.
| These two items we have been unable
to settle ordo anything with, being de-
lprived of the means by which to arrive
mt any conclusion. We therefore lay
before you the facts as they exist, with
tout any inference or vague conclusion
on our part.
For the examination of the School
Fund, including both principal and
interest connected with this Office, we
refer you to that branch in our settle
ment with the County Clerk, to bo
found in the latter part of this report.
For settlement In S,Uamp Land
Funds we also refer you to the report
on this fund in our settlement with
County Clerk. IbE.is
| JOHN ELWELL, Treasurer.
| With this officer wo find no account,
| as yet, opened by the Clerk. He has
not yet ever been charged with the tax
list and the only account we have been
able to find against him i'm the Clerks
office is that of School Fund principal
and interest and this we find kept in
very imperfect account and unsatisfac-
/ tory manner. . .....
We have therefore been compelled to
settle with this officer by his own books
and vouchers alone.
The account in the respective funds
of this officer up to Jan. LIST, 1867, we
find as follows, viz: E
