Your committee beg leave to say
that they have taken every precau-
ton to do their work properly. They
have carefully checked every voucher
on the books of original entry and
thence to the different postings to q
general ledger. from whence this
statement is made up. A comparl-
son of this with former reports will
show that the State dispensary is in
very healthy condition. Our work
was very much facilitated by Mr. S.
W. Scruggs' comprehensive style of
book keeping. We are indebted TO
him for courteous assistance also.
Respectfully,
r s. Brice,
G. W. Garris,
Committee.
The committee of the State board
of control has issued this letter to
the county boards of control:
Dear Sirs: On May the 9Th, the
State board of control will appoint
new county boards of control. Those
wishing appointments to these places
must send inaheir applications prop.
erly endorsed. No one holding any
county or State Office or clerk or
constable to any county or State
officer will be eligible to appoint
ment, as the new Constitution pro-
vides against dual Office holding.
Whilst the pay of the members of
the county board is nominal, their
duties are very important, and it is
the intention of the State board to
appoint no one who will not give the
accounts of their county dispensaries
their closest scrutiny and assist the
State board in its efforts to see that
the dispensary Law is carried out to
the letter by the county dispensers.
