system has been IN operation for about three
years. We found the officers there well salts
ted with the way II works and they expressed

advantage Of the system IS that ali Of the
business o. the county IS centralized ia the Of
nee Of the county clerk every cent of money
being paid out on his order and every receipt
couptersigned By hin and record kept OF

check on the fee offres such as register Of
deeds and clerk Of the court as they simply
make their report al the END of each month
and turn in the money collected leaving their
accounts to be audited oy the finance commit

bookkeeping and clerical work falls upon the
county clerk ONCE. and II The system should
be adopted here il is our opinion that an as
sistant should be provided for that office The |
cost Of installing the system in Richiand coun-
