REPORT BY ACCOUNTANT REED
Apparent Shortage Found in the Ac-
counts of superintendent Barritt.
DUE 10 system on BooKKEEPTNG
Many Vouchers Los and County
Superintendent Unable 60 verify
Entries Made in Books of the,
Roor Farm.

The work OF probing into methods Of
keeping county accounts, which showed
many discrepancies in the office of the
county auditor covering the period before
the incumbency Of the present auditor, has
been continued. and yesterday Freeman l..
Reed. one Of the expert accountants VINO
has been engaged in the work since last
November. made a report concerning the
financial affairs at the county farm. II
shows many errors and discrepancies
which create an apparent shortage In favor
Of the county Of S742.s so, which o. L. Bar
rift, the superintendent, will be called upon
to make good. The shortage, however
appears to be chiefly due to the system
Of keeping accounts, which created lack
of vouchers.
The request to check up his accounts was
made by superintendent Barritt several
weeks ago, following the disclosures in the
auditors office. The request covered the
whole period Of his incumbency, which
covers the entire period from the begin
ming Of the county poor farm, but the work
Of Accountant Reed only covered time
since the beginning of 1908. The work has
been done under the supervision Of COM
mittee Of the Board OF County Supervisors
comprising T ]. Johns and Frank True
and the report was made TO the board at
special meeting held yesterday after
noon. II was not acted upon, but will be
at an early date. There was some talk
yesterday to the effect that II might result
in the board calling for the resignation OF
Mr.. Barritt, although his management OF
the farm has been otherwise without blem-
ish since II was consigned to his care In

Method of KeenInK !

Method of Keeping Accounts.
In concluding the report, MT. Reed and
the committeeman say:
We find that Mr.. Barritt as steward,
has purchased merchandise in a great many
places In Pottawattamie county, and that
practically all OF the purchases have been
made in his own personal name. We find
also that he does not keep an account at
! the bank in the name of o. L. Barritt,
steward. but keeps his bank account in his
own personal name, and pays his expense
account at the farm and his merchandise
accounts with his own personal check and
with cash from his pocket. and in a great
many instances he does not hold suitable
vouchers for said payments. We also find
that often times merchandise for hts own
personal use is mixed with the county's &C.
count. He was unable TO find vouchers for
all of the period covered by our examina-
ton and, in the absence OF these vouchers
we had nothing to go by. OF to check his
books with. except his quarterly and an
nual reports and the records OF the county
auditors office.
We also find that in the past. farm
| machinery, harness. tools. household
goods and many other small items have
not been included in the inventory. We
would suggest that a complete inventory OF
the countys personal property at the
county home be made as soon as practice

we would recommend the installation

be purchased by the use OF uniform order

other authorized purchasing agents, and
that the claims be all o. KID by the
county farm committee, and that they be
presented TO your board for payment &C
companied by such orders properly exc
cuted and receipted.
We would suggest that IL the present
methods are continued that II would be
advisable for the steward 10 keep a sep
arate account at the bank and with mer-
camille establishments for his personal af-
fairs. and that the county business be
kept entirely separate from his personal

The report shows that nearly all Of the
shortage occurred during 1909 and 1910. and
the larger items are in the nature OF over
drafts In many instances there were
doubtless vouchers, but they were care
lessly laid aside and lost. In April, 1909,
there were found errors in footing and
extending a merchandise account, making
a shortage OF SsO.5s. In checking over the
January 1910, settlement with the county
board errors were disclosed in his footing
and extending Of his record Of 500 in one
instance. $40 in another, $40 in another
and So at another time. In the April set
Element the same error crept in again,
apparently absorbing $40 from the county.
and in the June settlement it repeated,
causing a loss Of S1OS The other items
are numerous but small, ranging from 81
TO 81. making a total shortage for the two
years of S7I7.O6. A credit Of s642 is noted,
reducing the shortage for the two years
| TO S7l0.64. Many errors were found in the
1911 accounts, but the vouchers were subse-
quently discovered, which reduced the
total to $3.50. making the aggregate total
OF 1890.
In its report the committee says:
Mr.. Barritt also very urgently requested
us to extend our examination still further
into the past but owing to the entire alb
sence OF vouchers and the vague system
of his bookkeeping, your committee de-
cided that 1t would be impossible to arrive
at any satisfactory conclusion as TO the
business prior to the 1905. This condition
was emphasized by the fact that prior &c
1905 part of the merchandise accounts fol
the home were purchased and paid for by
Mr. Barritt and part Of them were handled
through the auditors office in the regular
way. Your committee experienced grea
difficulty in checking the account for 1908
1909, 1910 and 1911. and did not think it ad
visable to undertake the difficulty o
auditing the accounts. Of Mr.. Barritt from
the beginning without explicit orders from
