The report to the circuit court
last week Of the commissioners OF
accounts, which body spent three
weeks in an investigation of county
affairs, said that the books of the
clerk, sheriff and treasurer were in
good shape and that all public
funds had been accounted for or
are on hand as is directed by the
law.
According to an estimate made
by Deputy Clerk Neil Sullivan the
term of circuit court here last week
cost the county $416, and was one
Of the cheapest terms held in the
county in years. The cost was dis
tributed as follows: Grand jury,
1921; petit jury, $l8S; witnesses be-
fore the grand jury, $50; jury COM
missioners, SO; bailiff for the grand
jury, $8; total, $466. From this
amount must be subtracted $50,
the amount Of fines assessed dur
ing the term. These figures are not
exact, but are approximately cor
