4 way beyond the Limit.
Neb., Jan lit Is openly
charged here that there is discrcp-
nncy Of over S220, 900 between the
Atate auditors books and those of the
State treasurer. After spending more
than two weeks IN check ng up tho
discrepancy, although the au itor
has had his figures fully verified,
the books fail TO balance by about
S225 600.
1t is also charged that although the
state is now paving ov r Si2, OOD a year
interest on outstanding warrants, 10
is not getting a penny of interest on
arly Sl.O0J, 900 which the state treas
urer has placed on deposit in the
banks This means that the state is
payit out SO. 600 year interest
when its warrants could have been re-
deemed and the state is losing fro u
S!5. 900 to S30. 900 year in interest on
funds which responsible baslss were
ready.tp give theYcry best OF bonds
under the act OF 1891
The tunglc in the state treasury is
held to indicate that there is some
thing wrong in the methods Of ac-
counting, and the enormous value OF
outstanding warrants indicates the
most rcclS eSs hnanciering. Accord
ing to Auditor Moore the state debt
now exceeds ~, 90 600 when IL is Linn
