70 the Honorable Board Of Supervisors OF
Grant county
GENTLEMEN: The committee on finance
respectfully reportthat we have carefully
examined the records. vouchers, papers and
accounts in the Office OF county clerk and

..
has been done in a satisfactory and credit
able manner, and we believe the same will
inset the approval of your honorable body.
Their annual reports are herewith sub
mitted and we respectfully recommend

We have compared the county orders and
Jurors and witness certificates paid by the
county treasurer with the list in his ONCE
and in the ONCE Of the county clerk, ana
clerk OF the circuit court. and have cancelled
said orders and certificates and bring them
before the board to be DESTROYED by law as
required.
We herewith present a list of county ord
ers which have remained in the hands of
the county clerk for two years uncalled for
by the payee which list has been compared
with the orders Herewith presented and
found correct
We have also compared the soldiers relief
orders paid by the county treasurer with
the report of the soldiers relief committee,
and find them correct, aad bring the can
cehed orders before the board to be destroy
Ell as by law required.
We recommend that the county clerk be
authorized to purchase blank books, sta
uooery, etc, for the use of the county tor
cash. 1t is the opinion OF this committee
that 1T Will result in considerable saving
Our attention was called to one bill in par
ucular that the county clerk had paid cash
for and the difference was 20 per cent. less
than it would have been had the party been
obliged TO wait until the end of the year for
its payment
We would recommend that the county
treasurer be authorized to transfer from
the county road and bridge fund to the gen
eral fund $4,000 that has been carried for
several years past uncalled for and also $1,000
hat has been carried in the special bridge
fund.
We find that fine collected by T. F. Bald
win justice of the peace amounting to five
dollars, has not been paid to the county
treasurer and we recommend that the prop
er county officers be instructed to make a
demand for such fine to be paid to the county
treasurer at once.
