headings, giving in detail proper of the different items of expenditure arising in the amounts of claims allowed by the board. Such a record properly written up at any meeting when issuing warrants would at once become most complete ref erence, and when footed at the closing entries each quarter would of itself contain most valuable information and data to the board, and 10 any in- quiring citizen or to any Grand Jury investigating into the true financial condition of the county.
 In conclusion we would say that we consider the supervisors acting under the present laws, trammeled and hampered in the performance of their honest convictions of duty, and we can only hope for relief from sane legislation upon the subject of gov ernment and revenue.

Daily Tombstone epitaph., 1886-02-27

The briet showing given above may be of some value in the consideration whether the financial condition of the county has been improved or impair ed by changing the officers to sala- ried basis. The figures on their face, so far as they effect the fees of the county officials in 1884, were based upon the old fee law, and are neces- sarily much larger than what they would have been had our officers con- tinued on a fee basis, and under the new fee law enacted by the Twelfth Legislature, but which did not go into effect until January, 1885, soon after which time the fee system was abol- ished by the Thirteenth Legislature and the salary-bill passed, the work ings of which are problometical, at least, Tn their results.
 We find the appropriations to the county general fund for 1885, approx imately $51,500. We find the office of the board of supervisors honestly and faithfully administered, and their books, such as they keep, in good condition, 4nd very fair system of business existing.
 We regretted to discover that al- lowances had been made by them through the wrong advice of their law officer of the county-of sundry witness fees, amounting in the aggre- gate to some $1,20O, which were allowed (under advice) in the early part of 1885. While your committee condemn what in their judgment is an unlawful allowance, yet from in vestigation we are satisfied that these bills took the usual course of all such character by reference to the proper officer and received his approval be- fore they were allowed. It may be considered questionable whether in law, or unless under exigency of grave character the supervisors are author ized to employ special counsel to rep resent the county's interests in courts of justice. It is true there are prece- dents existing for this action of the board, but whether parallel circum- stances have existed or not is not questionable.
 We cannot find language to express our condemnation of that occasion wherein the sheriff, county recorder, clerk of district court, probate court, and county assessor, together with the district attorney himself as plain tiff's and petitioners joined issue against the county in frivolous and untenable position of enjoining the treasurer of this county and com polling the board of supervisors to retain an attorney in behalf of the county with fee of $25O.
 Positions of trust occupied by of ficers should impress them with the idea that they were the guardians of the rights and interests of the public treasury.
 In addition to the books now kept on file by the clerk of the Board of Supervisors, we would suggest and earnestly recommend the providing of a suitable ruled book with proper

From a comparison of the expenses you will note a large increase, particularly in items involving justice of the peace and constable fees; also in jurors services, which shows increased crim- inal expenses, and from brief ex- animation of the accounts we find that much of the criminal expense has originated from the court de facto, created by the last Territorial Legis- lature, which has entailed an increas- ed expense according to the figures submitted for our consideration of at least $400 per month, during the space of time covered by this report.
 We made careful inquiry into the had actually been to this county dur ing the same period but were unable to discover any tangible results of its benefcence, except such as arose in the saving of expenses in feeding prisoners in the county jail, and fig uring upon the same basis of crime in 1885 as in the previous year we find there has been an actual saving in nine months of $166.60, or frac- tion over $1S.5O per month. a~.
 Your committee in making this calculation have endeavored to place the matter in as near its true light as it was possible with the facts and fig ures before us, believing it but right and proper that the people should know what benefits, if any, or injuries, in fact, arising from our Territorial Legislation.
