was distributed to Comm ssioners'
Expense" whereas, same should
have been charged to "Scobey Jail'
account.
Claim No. 11547, favor of the
Whitehall Courier, for $11.90, is sub
ject to the same criticism as Claim
No. 1852.
Claim No. 1860, favor of c. E.
Coryeh, County Surveyor, for $161.1O,
expense pertaining to roads, was dis
tributed to Surveyors Expense"
whereas, same should have been dis
tributed to "Highwas." In view of
the fact that practically ninety-five
per cent of the work done by the
County Surveor pertains to high
ways and bridges, it is only just AMI
logical that the expense be placed
where it belongs, to the road or
bridge fund, as the case may be.

A. WEINRICH, COUNTY COM
MISSIONER, $3.50, FOR PER

cism as Claim No. 11740.
CLAIM NO. 11747, FAVOR OF
J. C. TIMMONS, COUNTY COM
MISSIONER, FOR $500, IS SUB
JECT TO THE SAME CRITICISM
AS CLAIMS NOS. 11740 and 1879.
We note that claims for extra help
In the various Offices are paid from
the Contingent Fund, whereas, they
should be paid from the General
Fund. The Contingent Fund is created
for the purpose of paying the salaries
of the County officers and their de-
puties, receiving a regular and stipu-
lated salary each month.
! Claim No. 1856, favor of c. j.
Munich, M. D., for $4,000, reads as
follows:
"March 1st about. To autopsy and
analysis of stomach content OF Gus
Paulson and witness fees"
No segregation was made as to
witness fees or charge for autopsy
. and analysis, therefore, this claim
was not sufficiently itemized to come
up to legal requirements.
