The Board of Supervisors met nj Ii
O'Clock Il. IN, pursuant to adjourn
ment All the supervisors were

The committee 70 settle with the
County Treasurer reported n fol
lows;
10 the Hon Board " Suprrvis-
ors Of Iowa County; Geutlcmcu;
Your committee to settle with md
to whom WAS referred the report of
G. kessler, late Treasurer of said
county, having faithfully and care
fully examined the said report, the
books kept by him and his vouchers
for disbursements, and make this,
our final report.
We find that the duplicate re-
ceipts for money received from town
treasurers tilcd With thr county
clerk, amount to $G6,OlSl1, which
is S1i9 more than stated III the
report. The amount actually re-
ccived, however, we find to he us
stated in the report, S65,S6915,
The amount of $40 was interest,",
owing to the state by school dis
trict No / of the town of Eden,
formerly part Of Highland, and
was charged 10 the town of High
| land, liz the treasurer. The amount
was not collected ~ paid IN the
town Of Highland twas collected
and paid hy the town Of Eden
The treasurer rceciptcd 10 both
towns for the amount, when but
one receipt should have been given.
We find that the amount received
from the tax sales of 1878 was 81 10
more than stated IN the report.
We find also that the amount re-
ceived by the treasurer from ;. w
Reese, late District Attorney, was
S427.99, instead If Si63o1, is
stated in the report
The mistake arose as follows,
MIR Reese, as stated in his report,
had collected costs and fines
amounting to 1890, and held
county orders amounting to oSl63 81 j.
The treasurer paid MIR. Reese the
difference, as shown by their testi-
mony before the committee, and II
check on the bank Of the same date
for the difference, S35.92. The
treasurer charged himself with
S4G3.9l, instead Of $427.99 as hc
should have done.
We therefore find that the amount
Of money received hy the treasurer
since his last report, and on hand
ut that time, was $102,67750 in
stead of $102,7l1.33, as stated in
his report.
We find the disbursements made
by him to be as stated in his report
with one exception We find that
the item paid on County Clerk I
certificates for wood, ctc., should he
Si5S.5s, instead Of S45S.3l, as stat
cd i'll the report and that the
amount of his disbursements were
S90,746. 20, instead Of s90,745. 93, as
stated in his report.
We therefore find that the amount
of money on hand January 4th,
1879, should have appeared in the
report rs 81 ,931.3l instead Of Sill
965.39, as stated il the report, and
that there il now due To the late
treasurer the sum Of S34.08, and we
recommend that iii order bc drawn
upon the treasurer, IN favor Of &.
Kessler. for the said amount Of s34.-
0S.
We found the books and records
of the late treasurer well kept, and
very accurate with the exceptions
above stated, and We recommend
that your honorable body tender to
the late treasurer, G. Kessler, a vote
Of thanks for the honest and efficient
manner in which he has discharged
tic duties Of his office.
All Of which il respectfully sub
mitted.
