forever dimmei and left the cold
gloom of death in its stead The hus-
bands touch is vanished, the fathers
voice is still, the warm handclasp of |

owed ones and time can not change |

HArTABAvGH WELL PLEASED
State Examiner Files Report Of
Results of Examination Of
Owyhee County

/ G Hattabaugh, State Examiner, who
officially examined the books and ac-
counts Of the various county Officers
charged with the collection and disburse-
ment Of public funds, hos fled his report
with the Clerk Of the Board Of County
Commissioners for the information Of the
Board.
The report contains a number of rec
concentrations and suggestions to the
Board, and also contains detailed
statement Of all funds received and dis
bursed by the various county officials
since the date Of the last examination on
September 22nd, 1910, as made by Mr..
9. D. Goaslind, Mr.. Hattabaugh's prede-
cessor in the office Of State Insurance
Commissioner and State Examiner.
The State Examiner reports that he
found the records ofthe county, generally,
in good shape, the office Of the Clerk Of
the District Court, Auditor and Recorder
being in excellent condition, the records
and methods employed therein being
modern, systematic and up to date.
The books Of Miss Cavaney, County
Treasurer, were found to be well kent.
and consist Of complete, clean and
comprehensive set Of records, the cash on
hand being properly accounted for and
regularity deposited in banks where the
same is fully secured
Mr.. Hattabaugh recommends that
some action be taken BY the Board to
enforce the collection oftaxes on personal
property, as he finds that the county Is
losing large sum Of money annually by
reason Of the failure Of the Tax Collector
to collect the tax on this character Of
property after the same has been assessed.
and suggests that the Board confer with
the Prosecuting Attorney in order that
the collection Of these taxes may be
assured,
In conclusion, the Examiner. expresses
his thanks to all Of the county officials
for uniform conrtesies extended him
during the time employed in making his
examination, and calls the attention Of
the Board Of County Commissioners to
the fact that they are the executive bead
OF the county, and that it is their duty
to see that the affairs Of the county are
properly attended to, and that each county
official properly discharges the duties Of
his office.
