Auditors Convention.


State Examiner Peabody has issued a
call for a convention of county auditors
at Jamestown, on Wednesday September
26th. The subject of an auditors con-
vention has been discussed for some
time, the object being to arrange for a
meeting of the auditors of the entire
number of organized counties in the
state, with a view of discussing subjects
Of interest to the several auditors, and
arranging for q system of accounts,
which shall be uniform in all counties.
The auditors have all been conferred
with, and took a hearty interest in the
convention, and the attendance will no
doubt be general. The { ficial call is as
follows, addressed to the county auditors
of the state Of North Dakota:
A very large majority of the county
auditors have expressed a preference for
jamestown as the most convenient place
for holding this convention, and the con.
sensus of opinion is decidedly in favor OF
an early meeting. The state fair at James.
town during the week commencing Sept.
Oath, will probably give you the advantage
OF a half fare rate to and from jamestown
during that week.
Therefore, you are respectfully requested
to meet at the court house, IN jamestown
n. D. at the hour of 10 o'clock a. NJ, or
Wednesday, the 26th day of Sept. A. D.
1894, to considere all matters of import
ance pertaining to the Office of county aud
itor and county affairs in general.
We will also review carefully the present
revenue ana taxation laws and all other
laws pertaining to county matters and note
carefully any changes that should be made.
Where county auditors cannot attend, the
deputy auditor or county treasurer should
ill the vacancy. 8
