MR.. TOMPKINS ANDsUs.
Get COMPLIMENT From the State Audi
MISREPRESENTATION.

Auditor Tompkins received a-let-
Ser from the secretary of the audi
tor association of Minnesota last
Friday evening that was highly
pleasing to the Redwoodt county
official. 1t was stated that .at the
special meeting held the week prior
1t was unanimously decided to adopt
the form of the Redwood county
financial statement for the different
2couaties of the State.
1t will be remembered that three
years ago the State printer was so
pleased with the Redwood county
statement that he sentsout 200 extra
copies. and Since that time Mr..
Tompkins has been improving upon
xShe statement so that last year it
was regarded as being {perfect and
the auditors have adopted it as
their guide.
The testimonial is also ore for
I'HY GAZETTE Office. where this
statement has been put in type for
The past several years. Last year
1t was regarded as almost super
sluuaan effort for country printing
Office to tackle statement like that
OF Redwood county But THE GA
zETTE Office, without outside assist
ance, placed the entire statement OF
vvevtwo pages 10 type, and,published
stiu it's issue on schedule tin e. Many
country Offices sent the statement
into st. Paul aud Minneapolis for
composition, scontending that the
Job was too large for them.
This year the Redwood county
statement will make nearly three, if
notsull three pages, owing to the
deg tax refundment warrants.
