TO CHANGE SYSTEM
Different Methods Will be
Adopted by Board.
WILL MAKE WORK MORE SIMPLE
Commissioners Will Examine the Fig
'ures Before Making the Stats
teal Report Public.
WILL MAKE WORK MORE SIMPLE

A great many of the recommends
tons made by Clark & Buchanan, the
experts. will probably be carried into
effect by the board Of county commits
sioners In speaking of the report the
commissioners stated this morning that
some of the recommendations made by
the experts were exceptionally good
and that they would probably be adopt
ed They are DESTROYS of having a sys-
TEN of keeping the records in the
county offices that Will be simple and
accurate and save as much work to
the officials as poss ,ble.
The board Will not make public the
statistical portion of the experts re-
port for some time. They state that
before they give out anything they
want to go over it carefully and make
a close investigation Of every item OF
the report.
The county officials are very ret-
cent concerning the report and beyond
some of the proposed
changes in the system of conducting
their offices, will not talk about it.
The work of exporting was com
menced in April 1903, and it took until
January 9. 1904, to cover the transact
lions of the county for the past SIX
and a half years. Under the contract
the county paid the sum of $3.50 per
dav to each of the experts for the
number of days labor performed. Inc
total amount of the money paid was
S222441 Several accountants were
engaged in the work and at one time
there were five men in addition to the
principals engaged in checking the
books
While there were a number OF clefl-
cal errors discovered in the books 1t
is repcrted that the discrepancies OF
the different officers who have served
in the past six years, will show up
very small. 1t is estimated that the
amount of shortage OCCaSioned by the
errors will total about $400. This does
NOT include the amount of money due
from the state for costs incurred IN
prosecuting criminal cases, which Is
said to be 5000.
