During the last day or two an effort has
been made in the insurance department Of
the auditor of states Office to find the fee
records prior to 1893 but they cannot be
found. The superstition is that as the fees
OF the office al that time belonged TO the
incumbents of the Office, the fee records
were regarded as private property and car
ried of, or that no record was kept of
them. Thus the public is not likely to ever
know just how big were the emolumentS of
the office in those DAYS
