 BOARD OF SUPERVISORS coMMTTTEEE Find on hand, in the office of the Board of Supervisors, unclaimed warrants dat ing as far as 1878, aggregating the sum Of Sl52 and recommend that the Board of Supervisors take steps to find the rightful owners.

 REcoRDER's OFFICE COMMITTEE Find the office, under the present Re- corder. conducted in proper and busi- nesslike manner. The committee. how ever, found some of the books of the office Tn a very bad and demoralized condition, some leaves being loose and some of the books falling to pieces The Grand Jury has requested their foreman to call the attention of the Board of Supervisors, by letter, to this matter. re- questing immediate action on their part to remedy the existing evil. One very essential book Is the private property of the Recorder, aHd we would recommend that the Recorder be furnished with a book into which the matter contained in his book should be transcribed. Some of the records have been transcribed into new books, but as th,y have never been  properly certified as being correct tran scripts, We would ask your Honor, if in your power to do so, to make such an order as will legalize the transcribed records. We consider this necessary for the protection of valuable property in- terests.
