III iNtO1 "a LIN L Ao1OS Oi SSlllC-
ment with ex-County Treasurer Kuntz andFCounty
Clerk Hooper, was presented and read as follows
To the County Board of Supervisors of Wood
county, INTERCHANGEABLE, the committee to
whom was assigned the duty of examining the books,
records and reports of the county clerk and county
treasurer of Wood county, do herewith submit the
following report
We find the report of County Clerk Hooper, as
submitted with this report, to be correct. We find,
however, that the amount of S7SI, received by ex-
County Clerk w. I. Jones for redemption of tax GER
tihcate No. 1926, sale of 1873, was not paid by him to
County Clerk Hooper, and the amount therefore is
yet in the hands of said Jones.
We further report that the records in Clerk
Hooper's office are kept in a very neat and business
like manner, rejecting great credit on himself as a
county official.
On examination of the records of the office of
Henry Kuntz, county treasurer, also of his report,
which is herewith submitted, we find differences as
shown by our report.
The items as shown by schedule "a" of our re-
port we did not feel authorized in crediting to his
account before submitting the same to your consi-
Iteration.
Under a resolution of the County Board, dated
Nov. 10th, 1882, page 50 of county clerks minutes,
we find no authority for his charge for clerk hire.
We also fail to find any authority for the payment
by a county treasurer of interest on county orders
AS members of the finance committee we recon-
mend that if any authority now exists for a treasurer
to pay interest on county orders, that the same be
rescinded by the County Board.
In support of the foregoing recommendation we
refer you to county order No. 35I, issued Ian. 9th,
1885. This order of $500 was made payable, by the
County Board, March Ist, 1886, and was filed tor
payment with county treasurer on date of issue
Treasurer Kuntz paid this order Oct. 18th, 1887, with
SI723 IS interest. We also refer you to county order
No. 336, for SI35o.Io, issued Nov. 10Th, 1888, to F
Stahl, for sheriff's bill, allowed at annual meeting
This order was filed on date of issue with county
treasurer for payment and was paid Dec. 3Ist, 1888,
together with SIIOo interest. AS shown by the
ac,,-a o,, ra-0rt lo haI ono = - Lo-o 49,
orders on presentation, thus saving the county this
item of interest.
This report is respectfully submitted.
