amounting to S2I7o 90 from the Asylum &C
count and S2oS 90 from the Home account
are shortages which on the face Of the re-
| port of the trustees and treaSurer's records
are yet to be accounted for.
| From the minutes of the February session,
1899, the >trustees report that the Niagara
| Insurance Co, A. l., tones, agent, cancelled
policy for $4,000, the premium, SII2 so
| having been paid by county order No 6Io,
but no account of this item is rendered in
the receipts. The testimony Of the super
intendent shows that he has no recollection
of receiving such return premium, but this
committee assumes that the trustees or the
superintendent is responsible for the money
| In the year 1000 the annual report Of the
trustees shows credit item Of s64S So re.
turned premiums from fire insurance com
panies, but only $3.50 So, check from o.
g. Rewey, was deposited in the treasury,
| leaving a shortage of sIo2 90 to be account
ed for.
The records show that the receipts of the
institution are turned over to the County
Treasurer at regular periods, aud that no
yearly accounting has ever been made by
the trustees, accordin, to their testimony.
This loose practice must be corrected in the
future by trustees who serve the county,
and the committee of the County Board who
yearly pass upon the annual ports of the
Asylum and lone, should see to it that the
receipts accounted for in such reports cor
respond to the amounts deposited in the
treasury. 1t is just as necessary to have a
complete check upon the moneys received
from these institutions as it is tc examine the
moneys in the hands of the county officers,
as is the custom of this honorable board.
The financial findings of this committee
are correct according to the records, and we
insist those responsible for such shortages
make full restitution
Your committee would recommend that
separate accounts be opened by the County
Treasurer showing detailed receipts from
private patients and from sales of stock and
produce. That the superintendent make
detailed monthly exhibit to trustees of all
moneys received; that trustees be required
to receipt for same and promptly deposit
with the County Treasurer
We would respectfully urge greater care
should be exercised by trustees in the ex-
animation and auditing of all ms 'chandise
bills, as many invoices appear to show
partial discounts to have been taken, while
other bills subject to discount have been
entirely overlooked
Your committee is of the opinion that
prices paid for many items charged to The
County are exorbitant and unreasonable and
not properly chargeable to such charitable
institutions, and, which have been admitted,
were intended for personal use we refer
particularly to such items as suits of clothes
