statement as to the amounts due
from counties for the care of insane
patients at the state hospital for the
insane UP to March 20, 1915, accord
ing to the records in the Office of the
state auditor shows that a total of
$6S.012.50 is due the state. 81.
Thi.ty-one counties owe amounts
ranging from $500 up as high as $751;
1880. In the majority of cases the
amounts claimed due are disputed on
account OF there being no definite in
formation regarding the legal resi-
dence of some of the patients commit
ted to the hospital
However, there is no dispute in the
matter of the amounts due the state
from the following counties: Bur-
leigh, Dickey, Grand Forks, Kidder,
Mckenzie, Mclean, Nelson, Sargent,
Steele, and Towner Some of these
counties are slow in the paying Of the
charge for the quarter ending Decem-

Some Disputed Charges.
LII luc Wv di u COuuCy SAaI sc ~ Ao
claimed that $9,552.37 of the amount
shown to be due should be charged to
Burke, Mountrail and Renville and to
the state at large account The
charges are being investigated and it
is probable that Ward county will be
given credit for a greater part of the
amount in dispute, and the other. cOun-
ties viii probably be charged.
Morton county owes more than any
other county in the state in this mat
teryand the charges 60 back to March
ID, 1907. The county is charged with
$24, ,541.SG Since that date and the only
payment ~ ades on. the aceount,was on
January 20, 1912, IN the amount. OF
$6,121.96. This county has been
charged with the care of three pa
tients whom, it is claimed, were not
residents of Morton comfy at the time
of commitment to the hospital
Should the county be given credit for
the amounts charged for the care OF
these three patients it would still owe
the state $17,082.74.
The auditors Office has received no
definite information from Pembina
county. He has been advised that the
care of various patients should not
be charged to that county but nothing
in the way of detailed information has
received to substantiate this state
