COUNTY FINANCES
Defects in Their Management Pointed
Out by Comptroller General.

Defects ia Their Management Pointed
Out by Comptroller General.
Columbia, s. C.-"The need of an cx-
aminer for the books OF the various
counties is clearly set forth in the re-
port Of the Comptroller General, which
was published IN the Greenville casA"
said member of the House. An ex-
animation OF the reports made by that
Office showed that the statement was
correct.
The report made by the Con.ptrelled
General shows thai 1t least sever
counties are very much out Of balance,
and that with the small appropriation
Of $500 on hand the Comptroller ean=
not begin to check up the beoks Of the
Al counties in the State. Tie total
shortage will amount to about s43,-
900. and while there is no intention Of
reflection On the county officers, it
seems from this report that there Is
need for yearly examination Of every
Office in the State. The last annual re-
port of the Comptroller General made
the following recommendation:
sThe Investigations made thus far re-
veal the grossest eaFlesshass IL 10
Management .af The peoples money
While h0 actual dishonesty has been
brought to light a general looseness Of
methods obtains which amounts pTaca
tically to the same thing, SO far. as
the taxpayers interests are Concerned.
''It becomes absolutely necessary to
prescribe uniform system Of keeping
accounts for county treasurers, eeunt5
supeEyistor and couney supeIintend-
,eEfssof education, together with sys
TENET reports whereby the misappro-
spriataon of the public. funds will. be
shaTdgto accomplish. -
'Experience of many years demon.
strates that it Is impracticable for the
Comptroller General, who is charged
witks the supervision Of the assessing
and collecting Of the States revenue;
to leave his Office and visit the coun-
ties in person and examine into the
details CT the work Of the county OFF,
Gals, who are charged with the re-
-ceipts and disbursements OF public
funds. When an error is discovered in
the annual settlement, It often be-
comes necessary to check UP the ac-
counts for several years back; this re-
quires great deal Of time which can
not be given by the Comptroller Cen
eral, nor can he spare one of his clerks
for this purpose.
ITO introduce a uniform system OF
bookkeeping would require an ppro-
priation sufficient for the books and
blanks necessary to be used by the
county officials collecting and disburs-
ing. the public revenue. The Comp
troller General should be allowed to ap-
point an expert accountant. TO pay
the expenses Of an accountant, to visit
the counties at all seasons Of the year,
would be trifing compared with the
value Of his services to the State; the
correction of the present loose methods
would alone save thousands of dollars
to the State and counties every year.
II the fiscal affairs of the State are to
be conducted on business basis, busi-
ness methods must be adopted. These
matters call to your earnest atten-
tion and consideration; it now rests
with your honorable body to take such
steps as in your wisdom you may deem
necessary"
