We, the commissioners of accounts
appointed by your honor at the Janu-

leave to submit herewith our report.
We have examined the accounts
current of the justices of the peace
and constables of the county and find
them all correct and proper vouchers
thereto attached, and now attached to
their July term report.
We have examined the records and
accounts of the circuit clerk and

kept and all accounts correct, with
proper vouchers thereto attached.
Also records and accounts of the
sheriff, which are correct with proper
vouchers thereto attacehd.
We have examined the collectors
settlements for taxes collected for the
year 1910, and upon comparison we
lind that the collector had turned ov-
er to the proper officers the amount
justly due, for which sad settlement
shows proper vouchers thereto at
tached.
The present collectors settlement
for the taxes collected for the year
1911 has not been examined by us, as
our work does not extend beyond the
quarter ending March 81, 1912.
We have examined the records and
Vouchers of the county treasurer, and
after careful investigation of same
as to debts and credits, we find he
has on hand at the quarter ending
March 81, 1912, in the various funds,
as follows: Graduated statement
showing $12,11203 in currency and
5758.64 in county scrip

treasurer, in the Bank of Conway,
$6,276.13, and in the Faulkner Coun-
ty Bank, $5,877.77; total, $12,153. 80.
As per certificates from each bank
hereto attached.
We have checked and compared the
county scrip with treasurer's and
county clerks books, and with regis
ter of warrants and county court rec
ord, and find that the sum of S18.-
252.70 has been cancelled by the coun-
ty court and hereto attached is an
ltemized list of same.
We have examined and compared
the school warrants on file with the
county treasurer and county clerk s
books, and find same properly entered
on record, which amounts to the sum
of $43,561.84, said amount having
been paid out by the county treasur-
er. An itemized list is hereto at

Before completing our labors of
nne days, we, in the presence of the

to and did burn $18,252.7O in county
scrip, $4,000 of this bridge scrip,
which is now i'll circulation; likewise
$43, 3,561.S4 in school warrants went
up in the flames, that had been paid
out by the county treasurer for the
cause of education.
We, in concluding our labors. re-
turn our thanks to your honor for
the confidence reposed in us in ap-
pointing us to this important duty.
The retiring county clerk, ]. H.
Bailey, is worthy of many compli-
ments for his untiring efforts in
which he has endeavored to discharge
his duties and for his neat and accu-
rate records he leaves to his success
sor.
We also commend our county Judge
sheriff, circuit clerk and county treas
urer for their neat and correct rec.
ords made and kept by them.

charge of our duties.
