having been engaged by you to check
up the accounts of the County Off
ers for the term ending January 4th,
1909, after a careful and thorough
examination do submit this follow
ing report.
Exhibit "a is a statement of the
business done in the office of the
County Treasurer as made by us.
Exhibit "B" is the report of your
County Clerk which we have found
correct and true in all respects and
have made same a part of our report.
Exhibit &c" is the report of your
Clerk of the Circuit Court which we
have also found correct and made
part of our report.
We have compared the County Or
ders paid by the County Treasurer
with the corresponding stubs in the
office of the County Clerk, and have
also compared the Witness, Juror,
and Hawk, Crow and Fox and Train
ing School orders issued and paid
during the said term with the cor
responding stubs and have found
them to agree. We have cancelled
all orders paid by your Treasurer on
the stubs and record kept of said
orders issued.
We find in the Treasurers office
tax certificates to the amount of
81, 626.91.
Some of these certificates have
out-lawed and many of them are il
legal for one reason or another but
your committee does not feel like
putting in the time it would take to
properly examine each of these GER
tificates.
We would recommend that you in

Treasurer TO cancel all illegal GER

certificates to notify the owner of the

deem. Where owners refuse to pay
