Report of State Examiner

abstract made following the recent
examination OF the accounts, records.
books, files and bonds Of the different
Offices Of your county
On the whole the affairs of Power
county are in satisfactory condition.
The books and records reflect the care
fuI attention 10 detail in the exacting
duties which fall to the different Off
cials in the routine Of their respective
Offices and the success with which
they have met and solved the difficult
and p%erplexing questions which have
inevitably come up In the organization
and administration Of affairs in a new
county bear eloquent testimony to the
high order OF integrity and capability
which they possess.
The reports required of the different
officials 1 found on Tile in the Office Of
the auditor. / would suggest that
these reports be made in more com
plete detail as TO sources of fee re-
ceipt. This will facilitate work when
inspection Is being conducted and will
serve to show the relative earning
capacity Of the different departments
Of county organization.
The accounts Of the different Offices
I found to be in balance with the books
of the officials and with the accounts
of the auditor and treasurer.
Your attention is respectfully direct
ed to the provisions of section 1897,
paragraphs 2 and 8, revised codes rela-
tive to the bonds Of probate judge and
tax collector. From these paragraphs
you will observe that the penalty OF
the bond in the case of the judge of
the probate curt is 100000 while the
bond of tax collector was not done
away by the transfer of the duties
from the Office Of assessor TO that of
treasurer as provided for in chapter
12S, section 1, paragraph 7 of the 1913
session laws.
