REPORT OF COMMITTEES APPOINTED TO Ex-
ANIME BOOKS OF COUNTY OFFICIALS.
We, the undersigned committee APP
pointed to examine the books of Hum
boldt county officials most respectfully
report:
The Sheriff's books are kept correct
ly. We find that some are slow in pro-
curing their licenses. but we trust the
matter will be attended to before the
expiration of the present quarter. We
find the Recorders and Treasurer >
books kept accurately. There are
50, l62 81 in the county treasury The
Clerk . and Assessors books are kept
IN a commend.ble manner. The rec.
ords Of the County School Superin
iendent are nicely kept Your com-
mlttee fnd that a majority of the Board
of County Commissioners did compen
safe the Sheriff for all expense in re-.
turning the prisoners that broke iail.
We consider the rewards offered by the
sheriff aud the exorbitancy of some of
the bills allowed. wrong; yet we concur
with the Board in refusing to pay some
extortionate bills that have been pre-
sented by parties FROM Washoe county
We would recommend more rigid
economy in auditing accounts against
the county.
