Report of Territorial Treasurer Vaughn.

anty company, authorized to do bust

On the subject of a travelling auditor
Treasurer Vaughn says: 1T was rec
commended to the thirty-third and thir-
~ty-fourth legislative assemblies that
there be created the Office of travelling
auditor or territorial examiner, the
duty of such officer to be the examina-
ton of the assessment rolls, tax lists,
collectors and ~treasurers' accounts and
territorial banks, at stated or irregular
intervals, and establish and maintain
q uniform system in each county for
the keeping of records and accounts.
The conditions as they appear today
demand more imperatively than ever
that such an Office be created and it
may be done without in the least work
ing any hardship on any interest. AS
an economic measure this method Of
systematizing the public business of
the territory would increase the rev-
enues very materially and result in a
corresponding decrease in tax levies,
as well as equalizing the values placed
on property of the same class and
| value for taxation purposes over the
territory"
