BOGART'S REPORT.
He Says No Two Counties Have the Same
fystem of Keeping Records.


Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Helena. Jan. l7.-State Examiner ID. w.
Bogart filed his report to-day with the
governor. 1t is very voluminous. contain
ing reports OF more than 200 Offices. The
codes provide for uniformity of books used
by offices of the several counties and IL
has been Mr.. Bogart's duty to introduce
new systems so as to secure uniformity.
This has been extremely difficult. as no
two offices in the state have used the
same system of books. and IL will be some
time before absolute uniformity can be
expected. Regarding this difficult feature
of the work Mr.. Bogart says in his re-
port: THE first efforts of this office were
expended in making an investigation OF
the several different county offices in the
several counties for the purpose of ascer-
tanning what the system heretofore en-
ployed by the various officers was in
keeping the accounts of their respective
counties. IL was found that no two like
offices had like systems or like accounts
In one county the treasurer would be
keeping all through double entry systems
of books and in the next county the treas
urer would have neither cash books,
ledger nor journal. Some of the county
clerks have been keeping an account of
the finances of their county while I'm the
adjoining county they never had an ac-
count of the actual financial condition of
their county; in fact, the latter was found
to be the case in two of the largest coun-
ties of the state. I"
Mr.. Bogart believes his office will soon
be self-sustaining. He says: 'Tt is consid-
cred possible for the present force in this
Office to make these examinations during
each year. This Office would be self-sup-
porting at this time IL the new classifica-
tion of the counties had not been made
There is no doubt. however. but that I'm
the very near future the Office will be
self-supporting and In the end a saving to
the counties"
