creditors of his banking institutions.
The day was spent in working for
the settlement, and after dinner he
locked himself in his room at the ho-

work and denied himself to callers.
During the afternoon the state

DISTRICT ATTORNEYS OFFICE.
During the work Of this body we
have necessarily been In closer con-
tact with the Office OF the district at
torney than that OF any other county
official We wish to express our en-
tire satisfaction with the able and
business like manner In which the
work of the Office is conducted. As
our advisor. Mr.. McCarran has been
at our service and We appreciate the
many courtesies that we have receiv-
ed from him. The volume of bust
ness of this office has more than
doubled during the last twelve
months, but Notwithstanding this
fact, there is no congestion.
PUBLIC UTILITIES.
Owing to the prevalent public
dissatisfaction with the service
and rates of certain quasi-public
corporations, we have asked the
district attorney to look into the
franchises of these corporations
with the object of seeing if there
is an available remedy. The
district attorney reports that
thorough search has failed to re-
veal any record of the franchise
of one of these corporations. We
recommend that the board of
county commissioners go into
the matter thoroughly mt the
earliest possible moment.
Respectfully submitted,
