The Board "A supsryIsors for Irol

The Board oA Supervisors for Iron
county met In special session at the
oourt house last Saturday TO listen to
the report Of Accountant Dresser who
was engaged to check mp the books OF
the clerk and the treasurer.
Mr.. Dressers investigation Of the
condition of the county's affairs was
very thorough In every detail and all
Of the items are shown In the report
which we print In full below.
One new section OF the report was
inserted at the suggestion OF Deputy
Treasurer Reynolds SO that tho people
may know why the expenditures are
more this year than last year. very
good suggestion. BY a purusal Of u
one can see that big chunk OF out
Standing bonds were taken mp during
the year thus reducing the indebted
meas OF the county. In addition the
county purchased lot and built barn
along with other improvements 10 the
court house and grounds that cost
greatly hut which we're we'll spent
The county could afford to spend
the extra money better last year than
any other for the reason that we re-
ceived from the state Q payment OF
a. 600 for tax homestead lands which
very nearly wiped ont the extra ex-
penditnres above what would have had
10 be made as case OF necessity.
The Accountant found the treas
nrers Office In excellent condition aud
by virtne OF that fact he was able to
do bis work in much less time than
he otherwise would have taken. For
this condition of affair Will Reynolds
is Co be thanked. He has been Mr..
Henrys deputy. since the latter held
the Office OF treasurer ana has been a
genuine surprise in that Office, so
smoothly and accurately nave all
things worked up three since his TAX
Ing-the position.
Clerk Walls Office was found in its
usual good condition. The office OF
the Iron county clerk will stand up in
comparison with that Of any other
county clerks office in Michigan in
point OF efficiency and Mr.. Dresser
never fails TO compliment Mr. Wall
upon this condition of affairs
