F. j. MARTINDALE,
Secretary,
The following report was read:
To the Honorable President and
Members of the Police Jury:
Gentlemen:-I beg to submit this
my report, as Auditor, for the term
beginning June IA, 1916, and ending
DECEMBER 81, 1916. l have audited
the accounts of the secretary and
those of the treasurer, and find them
to be correct with the following eX-
ceptions:
Warrant No. 1874, date 6-14-16.
payable to R. c. Abney, paid as
$3.50; correct amount, $4.66.
Warrant No. 1888, date 10-4-16,
payable to J. II. Schneider, paid as
$14.60; correct amount, $14.20.
Warrant No. 972, date 1876,
payable to H. j. Smith, paid as
1925; correct amount 1915.
Warrant No. 10, date 9-9-16,
payable to r. w. Badon, paid as
$s5.7S, correct amount, $s5.75.
Warrant No. 223, date 11-10-16,
payable to T. NJ. Talley, paid as
1925; correct amount, $525.
Warrant No 628, date 1915,
payable to l.. A. Perreand, paid as
1915; correct amount, 1926.
/ find that the st. Tammany Bank
& Trust Co. paid on August 18th,
1916, warrant drawn on the Gov
ington Bank & Trust Co. payable to
J. H. Musgrove, for $3.50. AS the
former bank is the depository for
the general fund and the latter bank
for the road fund. the payment of
this warrant by the general fund
bank causes a deficit of $3.50 in
the general fund and surplus of
$3.50 in the road fund. By refer
ence to sheet two. it will be noted
that the sum of $5OS.47 has been
disbursed out of the general fund
for account of public roads, and
$99.SO out of the general fund for
account of bridges. The various
items aggregating these amounts
should have been drawn on the road
fund, and in the future it wuold be
we'll for the secretary to be careful
and see that warrants are drawn on
the particular fund to which they
belong.
Tehre was a discrepancy in the
bank balance Of general fund
amounting to s1.45, but After care
full search l have ascertained that
this was caused by warrant for
$5.45 drawn on November II, 1915
by the former police jury, and same
was outstanding from that time UNI
til June 26, 1916, when it was paid
by the St. Tammany Bank & Trust |
Co., but the cancelled voucher has
lowing outstanding warrants drawn
by Clerk of Court and police jury |
would adjust the $ AS differences:
CleTk 5 warrant mo. I4V, pdydDie
to Fred Holt, for $1.00. al
Clerks warrant, No. TAI, payab~
to Fred Holt, for $1.O0.

able to Parkview Livery Co., s.
Total, $500.
I find that the treasurer has in
his custody the following bonds to
guarantee deposits with fiscal agents:

ington Bank & Trust Co.:
