/ We note that the clerk of the court
n entering naturalization fees on his
reception book indicates one amount
n the aggregate of all this class of
ees collected for the month. We re-
commend that he enter them properly
is he was instructed.
: We note that the clerk of the court
lid not account to the county for fees
objected for the month of February,
916, until April, 1916. This is irregu-
ar and should not be permitted.
We desire to call your attention to
he practice of the treasurer and clerk
f the court relative to the opening of
heir respective offices. This disre-
ard of the law and custom, is not of
are occasions, but when their atten-
ion was called to the matter we were
that was always the custom, |
} not open before 1: 80 o'clock p. m.
he practice was persisted in after
heir attention was called to the mat
sr. We were justified in reminding
lem of this infraction of the law, par
cularly SO, when we saw parties
aiting to transact business. We re-
that the section of the codes
slative to the opening and closing of
lie offices of the county officials be
ointed out to them. I
We note that the public admins
ator has been depositing estate funds
| the bank instead of depositing with
lie county treasurer as the law d.
'cts. He was instructed to withdraw
lie funds from the bank, and deposit
it'll the treasurer, which was done. I
'e wish to state that the public adj !.
illustrator deposited 5000 in the bank !.
ter beginning of the examination of
S accounts; it took this amount to
axe good what his estates called for.
e further note that three checks ag-
egating $1,000 were drawn in favor of
sdale & Andrews, who used this
oney in their business, but later re-
rned the money. The public admin
.rator's attention was called to this
after last year, that public money
lst not be used for private business.
We note that the county commits
,ners at their regular December

IN, which sums were placed in the
