record of Mr. .Burgoon, the

the Herald:
Examination of the Accounts
Of the County Treasurer, Santa
Cruz County.
This examination covers a
period extending from January
list, 1917 to June oath, 1918.
The cash was counted and
balanced (See detail sheet B1
and By and a general check
was made of all accounts in this
office.
In the examination of the ac-
counts of the County Treasur-
er of Santa Cruz County, it was
found that the books are in a
very unsatisfactory condition.
There are many erasures, many
illegible figures, footings made
with pencil, and further, the ac-
tive bank account has not been
reconciled in some time. Many
Of the items written over the
erasures were difficult to read.
A general criticism is justified.
The above mentioned criti-
cisms are not, however, to re-
fleet upon the character nor the
integrity Of the Treasurer, as
the State Examiner is satisfied
that the Treasurer is conscien-
tiously honest.
The State Examiner recon-
mends that the County Treasur-
er be instructed to use greater
care in his accounting in the flu
ture.

SHE WAS GRATEFUL, ANYWAY
And the Young Lady's Error Was
Quite Natural, Under the
Circumstances.

Edward Barrett, state geologist, who
ives at Thirty-sixth and Meridian
streets, was on a Meridian Heights
car on his way home recently. At
Massachusetts, avenue young couple
got on the car. They appeared to be
very attentive and devoted to each
other. There were only two vacant
seats on the car, one at the side of Mr..
Barrett, and the other on the opposite
side of the car. The young woman sat
down in one of the vacant seats anO
the young man in the other, but too
far away to talk to the young woman.
The couple looked at each other with
longing eyes, as if they wished to sit
together. The car was rafting along
at a noisy rate, which made 1t impos.
sible for one person to talk to another
any distance away. Mr.. Barrett mo-
toned with his fingers to the young
man, and pointed to the seat he was
occupying, and also to the seat the
young man was occupying, indicating
q change of seats.
The young man gladly accepted the
proffered change of seats, and Soor
the two were seated together and en-
joying each others talk. The cal
stopped at the next crossing and Mr.
Barrett was surprised and amused tt
hear the young woman murmur to the
young man, as both looked at Mr.. Bar
rett with thanks in their eyes:
at was so kind of that deaf an(
dumb man to give you his seat"

days issue of the Herald:
"When anyone seeks to hold
the same political office sever
III successive terms, he should
be investigated. The office
holder is liable to become a
chronic 'hanger on" and that is
not good for the county. Think
who you are voting for, and fine
out why they stick"
In their ignorance over there
the young men have no knoWl
edge of the fact that the law
provides frequent investiga-
ton of all public offices and al
office holders But such is the
case. And there are public eX.
aminers whose sworn duty is
to make such Investigations and
report them to the board of SUI
pervisors. Moreover those re
ports are on file always in the
office of the clerk Of the board
of supervisors. By consulting
them one can learn at any time
the result Of the latest investi-
cation.
Then with the clumSiness OF
an elephant the Herald attempt
ed to compliment the republican
nominee for treasurer who is
up for reelection. Read:
"When a public officer serves
one term in office, and has fill
ed that office we'll, the people
should re-elect him, if the can
didate's record is such that it
justifies the confidence of the
electors. Such "a man is |

were found to be correct. Thu
accounts of all districts wer,
found to be correct. The &C
counts Of all districts were bal
anced with the accounts in the
office of the County Treasurer
Under the present system Of
accounting it has been founc
that there is no way Of curtalt-
ing the expenditures of a Schoo
District Board until all moneys
of that District have been ex-
pended, thus often leaving the
District without funds to meet
expense of the last two or three
months Of the term.
1t is therefore the recommen
1ation of the State Examiner
Office that a system Of &C
counting, such as has already
been verbally explained to tn
Superintendent of Schools, b.
installed. This system calls foi
each Board to submit to the
County School Superintendent
IN itemized budget of the eX,
oense for the ensuing year. Tbi'
system will necessitate a chang,
of accounting books in the
County School Superintendent
office in order to show the diff
ferent items of the budget, the
expenditures against each bud
get, and the balance remaining
in each budget item. This viii
enable the County School Su
perintendent to stop paymen'
upon a voucher where thu
funds of the budget item
against which this voucher is
charged are exhausted, anC
thus give the Superintendent:
a proper control upon the eX-
penditures Of each district
which under the present system
is impossible. The State Elk
aminer's Office is confident
that much money now expended
in maintenance and upkeep OF
the schools will be saved to the
Tax Payers of Santa Cruz
County upon the installation OF
the above mentioned system.

The amount as charged tht

f Supervisors, See Detail
sheets CT and CT.
The cash on hand was veri-
led and it was noted that an
overage of $11.67 (see Detail
Sheet C3) existed, which over,
ge may be accounted for by
clerical error originating in the
4ank. Due to the fact that Mr..
Wager, the Assessor, has three
separate accounts in the First
National Bank of Nogales, this
hank probably placed the above
mentioned amount to the credit
Of Victor J. Wager, County AS
SCISSOR.
Mr.. Wager, with the aid OF
his deputy, Mr.. F. E. Cole, has
installed in his office an individ-
ual and complete system to care
for the accounts in that office
and which system meets the en-
tire approval of the State Ex-
aminer's Office. Mr.. Wager
and Mr.. Cole are to be compli-
