Hon. Chirman board of County Com.

Dakota.
Dear Sirs:
We, your committee, appointed to
check DIP the office of the county
judge and take inventory thereof re-
port as follows:
We find the said Office regular in
every way and that the proceedings
and acts on the part Of the Hon. John
F. Henry, judge of the county court,
regular lin all things except as fol-
lows:
We And that the records of said
office have not been kept up in accord
ance with the provisions of Section
1905, 1905 Code. This provision re-
lates to recording OF orders, ETC., ad.
min;stration proceedings, guardian
ships, executors proceedings, etc.
We further find that the records OF
this office are, in our opinion, incom-
plete in this respect and have been
for a number Of years last past, and
that the law has not been complied
with and that the orders and records
required by law to be recorded have
not been recorded in majority OF
cases extending over period of many
years.
And we further find and recommend
that it is essential and necessary for
the protection of the titles of the real
estate of Ramsey county that said re.
cords should be made complete, said
orders, etc, required by law should be
recorded as protection against loss
by FIRE Or otherwise,
And we further recommend that
provision should be made to have all
files as by law required to be so rev
corded.
And we further recommend that all
petitions, interlocutory orders should
be recorded if not specifically requir-
ed by law, as we believe this is abso'
lutely necessary and safeguard
against loss by fire and otherwise of
the files and as protection to the
titles Of real estate of Ramsey county.
