ed warrants should be added TO the
county auditors statement, but as no
record Of these amounts were kept
by that official, this item could not be
ascertained. The variances between
the county treasurer,s figures (which /
are CORRECTLY and those of the county
auditor. may very likely be located
In warrants still outstanding. The
records Of the county auditor, how
