We can in justice say that the
Trustees have, aided by the citizens,
exercised very commendable spirit,
both in regard to practical economy
and success 10 the enterprise.
Sutro Township was organized on
the fifth day of May 1879. From that
date to January 1881, the following
named persons have successfully
acted as Justices of the Peace, to-wit ;
G. w. Keith, j. A. Casebeer and
OD,nn'l.
We find that G. w. Keith has kept
his record in good order, discharged
his duties in a legal manner, and
promptly paid into the County Treas
ury all public moneys coming into
his hands.
We find that J. A. Cnsebeer has
kept his records in II clealical man Sc
ner, paid all public moneys into the
County Treasury correctly, but In
many instances his charges and fees
collected, have been largely in ex-
cess of legal authority, ill an amount
considerably over one hundred dol
lars. We would suggest that this
matter be referred to the proper au-
thorities for their consideration and
correction.
W@find that J. O'Donnell, the
present Justice of, Sutro Township,
has charged and collected fees in ex-
cess of legal authority. However, we
do not consider him guilty of any
criminal intent, as the evidence
before Us fully exonerates him in
this matter. His error consists in
following the example of his lmme-
diate predecessor, and when his at
tention WAS called to the facts, he
voluntarily consented to make
amends by refunding the excess to
the legal constituted authority on
sight.
We find that j. Z. Fair, Constable
of Sutro Township from its organi-
cation to January 1881, has in gen
eral way discharged his official du-
ties, but we find that he has in sew
eral cases charged fees, without au-
thority of law, amounting in the ag
grpgate to over one hundred dollars
We would refer the matter Ia the
proper authorities fol investigation
and adjustment.
We find that d. E. Harkin, la't
Justice of the Peace Ut Silver CITY
Township, has kept his records in {
good condition, and has in every re-
spect conformed with the law.
We find that Henry Hill, late Con-
stable of Silver City Township, has
in Legal and satisfactory manner
discharged his duties.
We find that the Trustees of Silver
City Water Fund have in a correct
and legal mann-r discharged the
trust imposed upon them. Their &C
counts show balance with the Rec
ords of the County Auditor and
Treasurer.
We find that T. r. Hawkins Jus
tice of the Peace, of Dayton Town
ship, keeps a neat and satisfactory
docket, clearly and distinctly, re-
cording each transaction; in no in.
stance exceeding his legal fees or
charges; and has promptly paid over
to the Treasurer all moneys belong
ing to The county from whatever
source received.
We find that G. N. Motley, late
Constable, of Dayton Township, has
in very satisfactory manner, dis
charged his duties combining hi'
actions within the limit of the law
and in no instance have we beer
able to ascertain that his fees ex
ceeded the legal requirements.
We find that the Court House
room, offices and Jail in connection
Herewith, with the exception of the
Auditors office, are in good condition
and we'll taken care of. In regard ia
the Auditors Office we would recon
mend such improvements and the
procurement of such office fixtures
