Treasury to have been at the same date
March-1, 1873, $7,89S SO
AS compared with the re-
port Of the Board of
Audit. $7.89S 50.
Now, taking it for granted that the
report of the Board Of Audit was cor
rect, land it undoubtedly was as their
report of funds is made up by actual
county and that the Financial State
ment is also correct as to the amount

1t was said by officials (who had a
chance to know that ut the time of is

pay off County indebtedness that there

ing ut that time to the amount of near.

however, were for Court expenses in
March 1877, and are included in the
Annual Statement as orders issued
(quite i large proportion of orders

after Ma ch !, 1e77, nd a g mel died. il,
the estimate Of c:.sl, expenditures in

and do them full justice, let us deduct
the 81 900 III orders the same rs if the,

would still leave cash on hand $4,546 10
Then how could there have been an,
necessity for again issuing bonds i'm
mediately after the settlement for 81,
600 90 making $S,546 10 that is aplar
