Colonel F. A Sawyer. of Garden City has al
tackled the present bookkeeping system OF Nassau
County. The books, he says are practically worth
less because entries in all were Improperly 1hade
and il is impossible TO gain any Information from

bursements of the countys money an entirely new
set OF books would be necessary, he says but this
set could be opened only after each item IN the
present set had been checked up with the vouchers
Colonel Sawyer adds.
To the end of the year 1901 there had been ex-
pended for maintenance of roads, approXlmaf ely,
$4,000. How much more, if any an examination
of the original bills alone determine As there
are many entries which explain nothing. suspect
