Court, desire to make the follow
ing statement to the Citizens of
Iron County, in reference to the
reports of the auditors, Shallen-
berger, who was employed by
Judge Gay, and Messrs. Foard
and Edgar, who were employed by
Judges Scott and Stevenson, to
make an audit of the offices of
Iron County.
CIRCUIT CLERK.
By the report of the auditors
Foard and Edgar, the Circuit Clerk
was shown to have failed to ac-
count for and pay over to the
County Treasurer the following
amounts:
Fine of VIM. Warren, S..
Fine of John Turner, ST.
Fees not accounted for for the
year 1910, $3.50.
Soon after this report was filed
we find that the Circuit Clerk paid
over to the Treasurer the amount
of said fines, viz: Sc and we made
an order on him September 25th,
1911,to pay over the balance, viz. /:
$3.50 to the County Treasurer.
Mr.. Shallenberger did not make
an audit of this Office.
COUNTY CLERK.
The report of Mr.. Shallenberge1
shows that the County Court has
enormously paid the Clerk, Jos.
A. Reyburn, 1854 during his term
of Office as a member of the board
of equalization. We expect to ad.
just this claim of the County
against Mr.. Reyburn, at the COM
ing term of Court in November. !.
The report of Messrs. Edgar and
Foard discloses that for the year
1908, Mr.. Reyburn paid into the
County Treasury overplus in fees,
the sum of S20.70 more than was
due the County. For the veal
1910, he failed to include $3.50 in
his settlement which should have
been accounted for in his settle.
ment made in 1911, and this
amount was due the County ovel
and above what Mr.. Reyburr
actually paid in at that time less
the S20.70 overpaid in 1908. De.
Quoting the amount overpaid in
1908, viz: 500. 70 from $3.50, item il
1910, leaves a balance of 1929 81
due the County from this Office
on this account. We made ar
order on Mr.. Reyburn Septembel
9th, 1911, to pay this sum into
the County Treasury.
COUNTY TREASURER.
The Shallenberger report dis
closes that on the 1st day of Feb,

credit for at the February term o:

to allow credit for any>.of these
