The above statement has been COM
piled FROM figures submitted and
SWORN TO by the respective county
boards or their authorize
cd clerks. However, it might be we'll
to state in regard 10 the bfcakn%c ac-
count that the comparisons made are
not altogether jnst, iNasmuch as some
boards have returned railroad short
age rs hrcakagcs, thus swelling the
hrcakage account. In many instances
claims were filed for the shortage and
have been paid, which would mater
tally lessen this account. The account
is in the main correct. In order to
make this comparison ii was ncccs-
sary to take some rnnnty as a stand
ard by which the others might be
compared. IN this ease Ahbcvillc
which camr first alphabetically, was
used. It's percentage Of brcakage
was taken as 100. A county having q
per cent Of ISL means that its break.
a~r was Isl times rs great as lha,
ct the comty with which il WAS com
pared. Ahbrvillc.
II might be we'll also To state tha
the profit made by some Of the conn
ties is somewhat larger than has beer
reported. inaSmuch as they HAY,
charged mp fixtures. h"t,lin% outfits
etc.. tn the expense account and lhrS'
were not taken in rs assets in maxim:
up the statement.
The item of brcaka"c is very i'm
pnrtant. rs il may be used to cover ;
multitude of sins. II will be we'll fo
county boards to watch this item YER,
carefully.
