are however the following errors:- ayl0I aasT9

S9230 whereas the Report shows only $91635-a differ,
of $495, and that therefore, there balance in
the Treasury of $21334 instead Of S2729 shown by said

terror" in the Auditors books. I r
We also found that VIM F. Felton, late Auditor of vinton

We experienced very great difficulty in ascertaning how
nearly correct the Expenditures OF the County Fund
The only of determining the by examn
alton of the Orders issued and redeemed during the year
cred by the Report These orders found kept promscu
ousy in the Auditors Office orders redeemed in 1859 found
the pigeon hole with those of 1850 and other years.
they kept in four five bunches in about many
places without regard to the fund from which they paid
the item of expense to be betrayed by the order We would
therefore suggest that hereafter the orders of each year he
classified each fund to ITSELF labeled and fled order that

form in this instance may be obviated,
With the ORDERS except in few case failed In making
