Enterprise, Ore, April 10, 1911.
To the Honorable County Court Of
Wallowa County, Oregon:
Gentlemen: submit herewith
itemized statements and reports
marked Schedule S, C, T, and G, of
my examination of the records and
accounts of the various county Of
ficials of Wallowa County, Oregon,
for the period beginning July 9Th,
1908, and ending January 3rd, 1911,
which shows all money received by
them, to have been properly ac-
counted for except. as therein shown.
These reports show in detail the
condition of the books of the Clerk
and Treasurer on Jan. 3, 1911, also
statement of the tax rolls up to the
same date with the exception of some
turnovers by the Sheriff, made on
March 4, 1911, which include in my
report.
On account of the extreme brevity,
and failure when necessary to use
the journal, in keeping the Treasur-
ers books, considerable extra work
was required in checking up this OF
flee. / found that no journal had
been kept in this office, in which to
make explanations of some eptrles
that were made, and which required
explaining, and would suggest that
the Treasurer use the journal here
after in explaining entries that 9TH
erwise are not absolutely clear
Such a journal is now in the pos
session of the Treasurer, therefore
no extra expense need be incurred
on this account.
The reports of the Clerks office
both in the bookkeeping and re
cording departments are being kept
with greatest care and neatness
