Clerks Office Third District Court.

We have caused to be made careful ex-
animation of the accounts of the clerk ofth
Third district court, as far as such &C
counts pertain to the incumbancy of John
NJ. Zane and Henry G. Mcmillan, and find
no evidence of mismanagement. We have
made comparison of receipts on account of
judgments and costs, with deposits of
money to the credit of the United States, in
United States depository, and find that each
of them deposited the full amount for which
he was liable according to law, and as
shown by the books in that office.

The Marshal, His Deputies and Compensation.

|
We have devoted as much time to an ex-
animation of the marshaPs Office proper.
his books, accounts and manner of doing
business, as Justice to our other and cur
rent business would permit.
The emolument returns, we did not ex-
anime; but confined our inquiry mainly to
the matter of charges and fees for the ser
vice of criminal processes, from 1880 to the
present time. We lind that in 1SS0-1-2,
when "actual expense was charged, team
hire cost SO per day for a double team, So
for single horse; 81 to $3.50 per day was
charged during this period for subsistence.
From 1872 to 'S5 this item for team hire,
when actual expense was charged, in
creased to as high rate as SIS per day for
team and subsistence. In some instances
the deputies were employed at stated sal
aries, the marshal furnishing his own teams
and in such cases had all the earnings OF
the deputy. Other deputies worked on
| commission, getting from 60 to 20 per cent.
| of their earnings; in such cases they usu-
ally owned and used their own teams, but
| in some instances the teams were owned
| Jointly by the marshal and his deputy.
We find that during
THE ADMINISTRATION OF MR.. DYER,
wherever his deputy worked upon commits
sion, say 60 per cent. for illustration, the
marshal retained 40 per cent. of the actual
expense for team hire as well as upon other
items of the actual cost, that is to say, if a
deputy charged IS for team and 50 for
subsistence total $40, the marshal retained
| "a of that amount, Notwithstanding both
these items were supposed to be actual ex
penditures.
A dispute seems to have arisen between
the marshal's Office and the first comp
troller of the treasury in respect to this
class of charges, the comptroller holding
that SO per day was an excessive charge
| for a team in an actual expense account, and
it was thereupon reduced to Sc per day. 1t
was then represented to the comptroller
that Sc was too low, and that the deputy
marshals would resign rather than accept
the reduction. Upon that and other repre-
sensations of like purport, compromise
price was established, viz; IS for team and
81 for subsistence.

These appropriations, with other large
sums of money diverted from the road &C
count, were advances made to various
canal enterprises owned and controlled by
private individuals among whom, and the
chief actors in which were members of the
county court, including the probate Judge
and It's clerk
County officers were stockholders and
officers in these canal companies. As such
county officers they misappropriated and
diverted the county funds to the building
of these canals upon the pretense that it
was a benefit to the county. They charged
upon the county books these large sums of
money against the canal companies as ad
vances and loans, and after while, when
the statute of limitations had run against
the debt, as officers and stockholders of the
canal companies, backed by the lega
opinion of their creature, the county at
torney, they refused payment.
The only canal company that has re-
turned to the county any portion of the
money so advanced was the South Jordan
Canal company, which appears to have re-
paid the sum of Sl2, $50 on an indeb tedness
of 800, e22. 80.

In April, 1889, they had II, 1876 pounds of
fresh beef at cents per pound, SS93.2S.
DIN May, 1889, they had 12,063 pounds of
fresh meat, at cents per pound, S965.04.
In February, 1889, they had 10000 bounds

In May, 1889, 5000 pounds of flour, at

PRICES FOR SUPPLIES.
During these months there was an aver
age of about 206 prisoners, and we are of
the opinion that the fresh meat, ham and
bacon furnished during this time was as to
quantity about 25 per cent. in excess of
what was necessary, aud as to price was %
per cent. too high.
The price paid for flour 10 per cent.
higher than it might have been purchased
for.
In June 1899, candles cost the govern
ment s. per forty pound box; they could
have been bought for a. 40 per box.
For many months, the hay, corn, oats
and bran purchased on the penitentiary
account, for the use of the penitentiary
team and cows owned by the warden cost
the government from fifty to sixty dollars
per month-this in addition to the hay
raised by prison labor on the penitentiary
reservation.
For years past the marshal has been paid
by one grocery firm the sum Of S25 per
month for delivering their groceries to
the penitentiary, and the gentlemen who
have furnished meat to the prison have
also paid him $50 per mon tn for the delivery
of that article. There is an account kept
and charged against the government, which
is known as the wagon account; this is
made up from the earnings of a team and
wagon owned by the marshal which is
kept at the penitentiary and fed at the ex-
pense of the government; it is cared for,
and driven by prison labor between the
penitentiary and the city and other places
for transportation of prisoners and other
necessary business. This team is in charge
of a "trusty convict" as driver. The mar
shall receives for the use of it s. for each
trip to and from the city with one or more
prisoners.
This wagon account for one year, from
June l, 1888, to May 81, 1889, itemized,
shows the following:
30S trips, at s. per $40
l2 months delivery OF meat $50 per month 800
