 The records in the office of the County School Superintendent show that warrants were issued by him on the funds of District No. in payment of nine teachers monthly salary war rants aggregating seven hundred and thirty dollars ($79e. .OO) during the said school term.
 1 find that the extra two months teachers vouchers bore the signature of the teacher and two of the trus- tees of the district They were made out and signed at the request of J. w. Aker, the then County School Super intendent, who informed them that enc of the teachers former vouchers had been lost, making another (the eighth necessary, and further that as their school had been maintained but seven months of that year, whereas the law required at least eight, they had better make out and sign another voucher (the ninth) for his record to show that they had compiled with the law, and thus not lose their district.
 I find further that two teachers vouchers from this district passed through the First National Bank of Clifton for payment. The teacher in whose favor they are made states that she knows nothing of such transaction. The bank record shows no other indorser neither do the vouchers. I therefore refer the mat. ter to you, and will aid you in fur ther investigation, if you wish.
 Yours truly, Signed:
 H. E. BRUBAKER.

 Said vouchers were duly signed by the Board of Trustees of SOhool Dis triet No and the finding of this Board is that all parties concerned have been very careless and nsslig- slt In handling hs business of School District No. 1.
 'The Board thanks MT BrubAker for bringing this matter to their at Itentfon Rs the Board could not possf- lbly have known anything about it except through an auditor as all school matters go through the school superintendent's office and is entirely out of the hands of the Board of Su- pervisors.
