County Cssmmi seieners.

We now call your attention to the
methods which have been followed by
the county commissioners during the
past eight years. To the best of our
knowledge and belief, all four boards
have followed the same general line
and what we say about one board APP
plies to all three others.
In checking over the commissioners
records, we are thoroughly convinced
that none of thu boards has paid any
attention whatever to checking up the
expense accounts which have been pre-
scented by the various county officials
during these eight years We find
that claims have been paid which have
not 'peen entered in the commission
ers, records. We find that bills have
been paid which are not in the files.
We find that bills have been paid twice.
In fact, we have come to the con-
clusion that insofar as the bookkeeping
supervision is concerned, that all four
boards lave been very lax
AS an illustration, warrant No. 1874
Dated Oct. IS, 1912, payable to L. S,
Ollie, for $50 for insurance policy, was
paid a second time three months later
under date of Jan. Ia, 1918, warrant No
1918. These two warrants We're signed
by George w. Stovel, auditor. and
drawn upon the current expense fund
upon authorization of the boards. This
money was refunded to the county In
the summer of 1915, after we had called
| the attention Of the present board OF
county commissioners to the facts in
| the case.
The second case was warrant No
| 539, issued Jan. 10, 1909, for IS to
Mary A Chase. This was paid sec
ond time by warrant drawn April IL
1909. for IS, No., 1863.
The next case was a jurors certifi-
cate Of service, issued by H. N. Maxey
acting coroner, in favor of c. w
Cooper, Aug. 26, 1906, No. 2. This cer-
tfficate was duplicated by the same Of
| fetal in favor of the same party, for
! the same amount, and both have beer
paid. These two certificates were is
sued to cover the inquest over the
body of q party named Robinson.
The next case is that of a warrant
drawn for $40 in favor of A. w. Nc
Neal for livery in the spring of 1909
The bill was rendered amounting tc
$50, the warrant was drawn and pait
/
| The next case covers warrants Nos
1171 772-73-74, issued on the 18th day o
January, 1907, amounting to $676.65
payable to the Parma State bank fol
assigned accounts. These accounts a:
rendered equal the amounts of th'
warrants drawn, but 1t is our opinion
that one of these accounts was paiC
by No. 977, drawn on the 18th day o
January. 1907, for $780, payable orig
inally to H. S. Stockton, and after
wards changed to read Parma Stat,
bank, If we are correct in our theory
this amount has been paid twice.
If the affairs of a private business
concern were run as loosely as appar
entity this part of the commissioners
work has been done, that firm woult
go into bankruptcy in one year
We desire to call your attention 4
the apparent lack of uniform charge
for instruments recorded during tn
eight years which our audit covers
There are many cases where the fe
charged was apparently estimated b.
guessing the amount, and in nearl,
every case the amount SO charged wa
less than 1t should have been.
