The Pioche record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1908-1925, 1916-03-11

At an expense to the county OF
1895 w. N. Whitmore complesed
early in the week an audit CT the
books of the county officers cover
ing the period of July. l, 1914 to
Februa.y 20. 1916. The report was
filed with the county commissioners
last Monday and accepted by tnat
body.
Introductory to his detailed state
ment!. Mr. Whimore said: There IS
little comment required on the respec
tive offices. All moneys due your
county that have been collected 1rom
various sources have been duly PAID
into your county treasurer, and re-
cord of such collections shown by
said official.
1T is my recommendation TO your
honorable board that any subsequent
audits that be made, that you author-
ize ths accountant to check the DOCKS
as to income and collections OF
your Caliente water supply system.
From this source considerable reve-
nue. is derived, but without checking
the books of the system, no correct
idea can be given, whether or not
the total revenue properly coliecsaple'
has been collected or remittcd to
your county treasurer, and as long as
this is an adjunct Of your county, the
checking of the books of this system
should properly come under the au-
ct Of the county"
The auditor suggested an improve
ment in the manner of collecting
fees in some of the offices and IN
the manner of drawing warrants for
postage. He also recommended the
purchase of fee book such as is
generalyl used in other counties
