SUGGEST
CHANGES

The report of the public examiner
of the state on the condition of tho
books of,Mesa county was shown the
county commissioner this morning
by District Atiorne5 elect William
Weiser.
The report suggests numerous
changes in many Offices. the most
serious faults, however. being found
with the office of The old county
clerk, the boards of county commits
sioners and the district clerk. The
report makes no charges of culpabil-
ity, bui merely cites errors of various
kinds with Recommendation for
remedies.
The commissioner were criticized
for allowing themselves large
monthly sums for Supervising and
viewing bridges. etc. and for allow
ing the former depuiy district attor-
ney to be placed on 4 salary, instead
of on a fee basis
The report is volnminCus, and as
soon as possible the commissioners
will take up the report and discuss
1t. 1t is the sense oil the board that
the report be complied with as far
as possible.
Late yesterday afternoon the coun-
ty commissioners refused to act on
the application OF l.. c. Worthington
to be clerk of the new board OF coun-
" commissioners.
County Attorney Halderman cited

the county clerk or his CHIEF deputy
should be clerk of the board of COM
