Your committee believes that this re-
port shows n very satisfactory method
of transacting the work Of the auditors
Office. and that tho auditor is TO he high
/ ~ commended for the Improvements
Which he has made in the methods used
Your committee believes. however, that
the State should use the very best
methods that can he devised in transact
ing its business. We therefore recon-
mend as proposed in the bill submitted
that the governor shall appoint ccsn-
mission of two persona with the auditor
with full power to investigate modern
methods of bookkeeping and accounting
and to determine upon such system as
shall be suitable for the office Of the
auditor of accounts and install such sys-
tom as may be determined upon. If in
tho opinion of such commission any
charCo Is thought desirable. II such a
commission is appointed we believe II
will result IN increased economy and Of
fciency. This commission could prescribe
uniform methods for an departments OF
the State government and the auditor
should be given authority TO audit and,
II required, report quarterly on the &C
counts of all Institutions boards or per-
sons who are receiving or eXpending the
moneys of the State. w. j. Van Patten
