WATERTowN, > d., Dec. 80, 1898.
To the Board of Comfy Commissioners
Custer County, S. ID.
have the pleasure of reporting to
YOU that l have found the county funds
all accounted for in my investigation
Dec. 29th, and the books In the treasur
er's and auditors Offices carefully kept.
and officers trying TO follow instructions
so far as could see by a rather hurried
examination Of their books. The mat.
ter of accounting for funds was very
carefully gone over. / found that your
auditor is laboring under great disad-
vantages nv reason of former officers
not having KEEP: up their work, and
directed him to bring IL al! OF the back
work Ia part of which ne has already
done), and to carefully compare ali his
work so that he may be sure the work
Is right. This work one cannot do
alone, and it wi be necessary for you
to furnish help till the work is done
The Office OF county auditor is the most
Important one in the county, and hope
you VIII see that the work in this office
Is very carefully kept up, and in your
settlement with the treasurer, and in
other matters, you should very largely
depend upon the auditors books, unless
tynI ha - h..1, ost.
not properly kept.
have this confidence in your present
treasurer, 3hat do not think you would |
be misled. even II you relied entirely on |
his books. but the rule should be that |
you take the auditors books as correct
until 1t IL proven that they are wrong.
have also talked with yonr auditor as |
10 sysfemizing his work in the commits. |
sloners meetings, so that matters may
be taken mp in their proper order. and
record made as to the disposition
made OF each matter. If a bill is allow
ri. disallowed, or referred to the next
meeting. the record should show il, and
he chairman should not pass any mat
er OF business until IL is acted upon.
Respectfully yours.
