Deficit of Some $4,000 Charged to
Drainage District.

cording to a statement made by Esq.
S. r. Bratton, is due to the building
of bridges for the owners of the
lands embraced in the drainage dis
trictC in the county and provided for
by an act of the Legislature, and not
in anywise a deficit due to the adj
ministration of county affairs by the
Justices of the Peace. A report OF
County Judge ]. B. Waddell was
read, showing that, after investiga-
ton of finances, the county is about
one year behind in meeting its fl
nancial obligations, or to be more
exact, about $4,000 in debt and
that it will take at least number OF
years of good management to wipe
out this deficit.
The county audit, which includes
the offices of the Trustee and Clerk
of the Circuit Court, was reported by
o. r. Ewing & Co., the findings OF
which show that these offices are
practically okeh. The Office of Clerk
of the Circuit Court tailed in its
balances, and the office of Trustee,
for the two years embraced in the
audit, showed q deficit of little
more than $4, which has since been
reduced to $1.96, but altogether a
matter no importance since it is
a clerical error easily adjusted.
The only criticism offered with
respect to either one of the
offices was that the single entry sys-
tenn is in use, which is not now I'M
derstood to be progressive method
of keeping accounts.
