 Committee. We would state that, although the iayt tstigations and examinations of the committees oa the several county offices were performed as we'll as could bn expecjo cd in the very limited time allowed them. Yet, we are aware of the fact that the examinations were onrsory only, and respectfully recon. mend: That the next grand jury be especially instructed to examine in detail the accounts and records of the several county offices. especially those appertaining tO revenue.
 In making the recommendation We do not wish to imply or insinuate that the accounts and books are not correct but We deem it to be inst and proper. not only Co the taxpayers, but to the officials themselves, that their books and accounts should be closely examined or exported at least once year.
 We recommend that R. N. Freder- icks, who acted as clerk of this body. be allowed extra compensation of g per day, and Bruce & Merritt be al- lowed the sum of $5 for team hire for the hospital committee.
 All of which is very respectfully submitted. J. NJ. w. MOORE,
