Recommendations.

His recommendations as to county
finances are as follows: - renew my
recommendations made last year as
to reforms necessary for the manage
ment of county finances:
Dispensarv fund: The present
law requires county boards to meet
once a month in the auditor $ office
and divide the diSpensary profits be-
tween the town and county. The
county auditor is required 10 report
the same to the state board of control.
This law is practically ignored. for
we find the county auditors with
few exceptions. accept the county
treasurer statement Of the dispen-
sarv funds received. | would recon-
mend that the law be amended re-
curing the county board to meet as
above. on the first Wednesday Of each
month.
borrowing money by counties: In
witnessing annual settlements. we find
the county auditor. county supervisor
and county treasurer in many in
stances ignorant Of the amount OF
money borrowed, OF they are unable
to give any definite information as
10 the exact amount Of these finds
anil all hands make al investigated.
Tie law relative to borrowed 1loneT
for county or school purposes should
be amended SO as to require ali notes
to be signed by the county supervls-
or and county auditor. and counter
S:~ned by the county treaS'F(r hc-
fo"e they become lega! obligation
a"ainst the county.
"Reports of magistrates: Ma%ls-
trates should be required to make Il
full and complete report monthly 10
the county auditor and county treas
urer of all fines and licenses collect
ed, and pay the same into th. county
treasurer before warrant is issued by
the county for their salary.
"Reports Of county treasurers: The
county treasurer should be required
by law to make a report on the first
and 18th of each month to the comp
troller general. the county supervisor
and county superintendent Of educa-
ton, covering his entire receipts and
disbursements. 4 penalty should be
provided for dereliction in this duty.
"Countv supervisor: The supervls-
or should, under heavy penalty, be
REQUIRED to enter on the claim book

new officer and there was no evidence
Of any wrongdoing And / am glad to
add that the shortage has been made
good.
champion county: In witnessing
the annual settlement of Hampton
county, Mr. Z. B. Wilson, my chief
clerk. was not satisfied with the ac-
count. On his report to me, l di-
rected Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Haber~
NIGHT to make thorough investiga
ton Of the accounts Of the present
treasurer, Mr.. J. c.. Langford. The
investigation resulted in the discov
cry Of discrepancies, errors and omls-
sions in the previous settlements
made up by the county officials, coy
ering the four years Of Mr.. Lang
ford's incumbency, Of Sl0,436.93.
When the investigation was complet-
