RECON- r,,cndations.

We are strongly of the opinion, in
order 10 correct the deficiencies TO
which we have referred in this report
that It will be necessary to inaugurate
IAN entirely new system of keeping the
accounts OF the various Offices. We are
convinced that this system should be
one by which the accounts of the va
rious Offices COME into and correlate
with the books in the First Auditors
Office. We are of the opinion that the
introduction and operation of this sys-
tern canhgt be accomplished by the
mere enactment OF law, but wouln
nave to be brought about by the crea-
ton or a bureau of audit. which should
be under the charge Of a competent
expert accountant, assisted by such
I travelling auditors as may be found
necessary. He should be given full
/ power to install such system OF ac-
counting In ali of the offices of the
state, including clerks and treasurers
OF the cities and countless and further
more. he should be empowered to com
/ pei all oflceholders under his charge
to keep the accounts in such manner
and on such forms. and to make such
4 reports as he may deem necessary
u Annually or oftener the expert account
ant should audit all OF the accounts

While these practices may have re-
suited from an excessive zeal for the
bettermcnt OF the department ON the
part of the board and the commission
err. they are nevertheless to be most
strongly discouraged.
1t is a pleasure to note that SO far
as the books reveal. there have been no
shortages in this department.. and that
the deceptive practices above alluded
to ceased upon the reversal of the Audi
tors ruling and tho disappearance of
the cause therefor.
Under advice of our accountants. this
department has adopted a greatly Inn
proved system of accounting. and 1t Ia
hoped that many of the Irregularities
herein noted will no longer prevail
in this department.
The annual reports of the commits
sioner seem to have been arbitrarily
made ur, and the expert accountants.
with one exception, were unable to
verify them.
1t will be also observed from the
statement of fertilizers seized at
tached to this report, that there have
been Il long line OF NlOldllonS by va
rious concerns manufacturing fertili
ger. Out of a total of thirty-siN vio-
lations, only one case has been re-
ported to the courts
We are of the opinion that the Board
OF Agriculture is equally responsible
with the commissioner for the irregu-
larities In this department.
| We note also that considerable sums
of money We're apportioned among the
members of the bpard to be expended
in the work of !he department and
also that In many cases proper vouch-
ers for these expenditures have not
been furnished by the members of the
| board
| Without meaning to reflect in any
way upon the character and integrity
! of the members of the board, we do
not believe that 1t is a safe business
principle or sound public policy to
allow public servants TO apportion
among themselves money belonging to
the State for expenditures which should
be supervised by them
We are of opinion that the Depart
ment of Agriculture should have moth
ing to do with the collection of funds
derived from the sale OF tags, but that
all of the fnancia! operations pertain
ing to the Department should be con-
ducted through the First Auditors
Office.
