STATE OF ILLINOIS, Ia.
COUNTY OF Rock ISLAND
Board of Supervisors, September Term,
September 18th, a. m. 1881.
Mr.. Chairman and gentlemen Of tie Board
Of Supervisors:
Your committee on finance beg leave to
make the following report of the financial
condition of the county from September
1st 1880, to the first day of September
1891, as far as the same is written upon
county books.
Iu the report made last year showing the
business to September list 1880. Your
committee called the attention of this
Board to the fact that no correct report
showing the business of the county for
one year could be made on the first day OF
September of each year as now required by
law, for the reason that the officers reports
to this Board are made semi annually on
the 31st day of May and the Both day of
November.
The same reason still exists and your
committee would recommend full and
complete financial statement OF the bust
ness of the county be made when all of
the officers, rs we'll as the county Collec-
tor, nave maze thelF reports 10 thls Doafa
up to December 1st 1881,
No report has been made to this Board
of taxes collected for the present year by
the County Collector, for the reason that
it would involve great deal of unneces
.ary labor, and in the judgment of your
committee full report of the entire taxes
collected made by the Collector, on No
vember Both, when the take Books are
closed would be more satisfactory and
could be more readily and correctly audit
ed.
We attach hereto a balance sheet of the
County Books showing all open accounts
