Clerk of the Municipal Court.
All fines and costs collected in state
cases were paid to the County Treas
urer, as were also all fees collected in
civil cases.
Not all fees in civil cases have been
collected. A small amount is receiv
able from attorneys with whom the
Clerk keeps a debit and credit ae-
count.
Sheriff
All fees collected by the Sheriff for
services in civil matters were paid to
| the County Treasurer, as were also all
amounts received for labor of prison
ers not otherwise disbursed on court
orders.
| Fines collected by the Sheriff in Jail
lin state eases were paid to the
Clerk of the Municipal Court, and by
the Clerk to the County Treasurer as a
part of the receipts of his Office.
County Agent.
All orders drawn on the County
Agent s appropriation were charged by
him to his account. Proper vouchers
are on file for all disbursements.
Highway Department.
| The audit of the Highway Depart
ment discloses serious condition of
affairs in connection with the disburse
ment of highway monies during the
year. The data attached to this report
will give your honorable body some
idea of the seriousness of the condi-
ton so far as it relates to payroll dis
bursements and payroll orders. Equal
| ly serious, in my opinion, is the absence
LOT records and information which
would make possible an audit of dis
bursements for materials and supplies.
| While invoices are on file for all pay
ments made for stone, cement, ETC., no
record was kept by the Highway Com
missioner of orders given for these ma
terials, nor were deliveries checked by
anyone
| It may be suggested that the specif-
cations of materials required given on
the road blue prints furnish informa-
ton as to the quantities which should
have been ordered or were used, but
discrepancies between such quantities
and the quantities paid for would have
T to be considerable on each road to be
! detected.
! With reference to the payroll items
covering which time reports are miss
ing, unsigned or otherwise irregular, |
will say that an examination OF the
cancelled payroll orders shows that
most of the labor paid for was I'M
doubtedly performed on the roads, but
| I am unable to say whether the chaotic
condition in which the time reports
were found, and the absence of so
many of them, is due entirely to care

Iessness or to an effort to conceal fraud
that the payroll orders listed in this
report because of the irregular eharac-
ter of their Endorsements are all that
call for investigation.
I suggest that during the present
year more systematic methods be en-
ployed in preparing and caring for the
records of the highway commissioner.
Your honorable body provided last year
that the county clerk should have
charge of the books and records of the
highway commissioner, but he had the
custody of only parts of them.
All correspondence, acquisitions or
orders for materials and supplies, mem
oranda pertaining to deliveries, reports
of foremen, etc, should be turned over
to the Clerk at once and be preserved.
The time reports should be assorted to
conform to the arrangement of the
names on the payrolls, and should be
attached to the payrolls or filed sepa-
rately. If fled separately, the payroll
or order numbers should be written on
them.
suggest ALSO, the use of contract
ledger, for contract work, in which
should be kept debit and credit &C
count of each contract.
In general, I beg to say that other
than as noted the records of the sew
eral offices of the county were kept in
very satisfactory manner.
Bank certificates confirming the bal
ances shown on hand at the close of the
year are attached.
Respectfully,
G. II. Winke.

Captain Cook, in 778 rediscovered them, and gave
them the name of Sandwich Islands. He abused the
