Tho records in the Office of the
State dispensarv do not show
whether any legal proceedings have
been instituted upon tho said OK
dispensers bonds to recover the
above balance claimed by the State
and do not show which Of tho above
claims, if any, have been turned
over to tho State solicitors for col.
lection, as required by section 13 of
the dispensary law.
Tho records do not show what
prosecutions, if auy, arc pending
for defalcations based upon the
above claims. Chairman Miles Of
tho State board Of control, has ro-

on them for Immediate settlement.

time what progress, if any, is made
towards settlement or collection of
such balances, and to that end that
quarterly reports bo requested from
zach solicitor having charge Of such
cases.
We further recommend that all
balances remaining uncollected for
six months bo charged to profit and

Wo find that tho expenses of liti-

kept of those expenses.
We find that the stock Of bottles
on hand, July 1, amounted to $4G,-

bottles. We arc informed that the
disponsary can be supplied with bot

dispensers at much less cost than
from tho manufacturers. This will
effect q saving to the State and keep
money at homo.
