The whole trouble arose over the
report which was made by the two
men who had been appointed to exam
inc the county treasurer's Office.
This commission in It's report compl,-
mented the county auditor for his
manner of conducting the affairs of
his office thing which it had no
right to do and for which there IS
no precedent. For the reason that the
compliment paid to the auditor was
not part of the report, it was
omitted from the news Item as not

The commission which Is named
each SIX months To examine into the
affairs of the office of the county
treasury to ascertain how much
money Is in the treasury and on de-
post belonging to the various fund
of the county, has no authority for
examining the auditors office. It's
instructions are TO examine the treas
ury and report it's findings. All that
Is necessary for II to do Is to visit
the auditors office to learn with
how much money the treasurer has
been charged and the amount Of the
outstanding warrants. This informl-
tion can be gained in very few
minutes, not to exceed five, since all
is found in one book and practically
upon one page, Further than this
the commission has nothing what
ever to So with the auditors office or
books.

wherein lies the necessity for spe-

the custom in Marion county for the
