Why wouldn't "He keep us
out of sugar" be a good cam
paign slogan for the Democrats
next year?
One of our down east CORES
pondents suggests that the new
dry beer authorized by Congress
has about as much kick to it AS
a kiss thru a screen door.
And speaking of tough luck,
about the time the barley corn
boys got their recipes perfect
ed for making home wine out
of grapes and rainwater and
sugar, the country ran out of
sugar. ,.,n.j Ass
Still it wasn't many years ago
that eggs were twenty cents a

the hens could ever afford to
lay them for that.

Many an old bachelor mar

A painted face is often beau

The man who growls most

The goose that layed the

When they ceased cranking

Good resolutions are like

Some kinds of business have

TREAsURERs DEPARTMENT.

The treasurers department has
been thoroughly examined by William
r. Gray, an expert accountant Of
Hanover, N. H. A survey was made

ports and procedure OF the Office. ALI
cash balances we're verified and the
correctness of the cash book, daily
balance ledger and vouchers were
verified by test. The general ledger
was checked and compared with the
trial balance and with copy for Treas
urer's Financial Statement.
In his report, Mr.. Gray says: II
have pleasure in reporting that in my
examination of the Treasurer's &C
counts, ] find abundant evidence Of
accurate, orderly and business-hke
methods in the conduct of the office,
together with scrupulous purpose to
safeguard the interests of the state.
In my opinion, the manner in which
the affairs Of the Office are admins
tered compare favorably with the
operations of a well conducted btisi-
ness concern, and reflect credit upon
the Treasurer, the Deputy Treasurer,
and their assistants. I wish also to
commend the practice OF the Treas
nrer in making promptly available to
the public his clear and compact
g1nancial Statement for the fiscal
year.
recommend that the advisabiiity
Of providing for more frequent ex-
animation of the Treasurer~s accounts
be given careful consideration. II is
suggested that under such a plan,
representative Of the Auditor would
make a monthly examination cover
ting at least the following:

and reconciliation of bank statements

AUDITOR OF ACCOUNTS.

The Auditors department was also
thoroughly examined by MIR. Gray.
A survey was made of the records,
forms, statements and procedure Of
the office and the orders drawn dur
ing the fiscal year were checked with
vouchers and sub-vouchers for dis
bursements according to the day
book, including orders drawn in favor
OF Benjamin Gates for funds dis
bursed on account of State Institu.
tons and Distribution Of Consolidated
School Fund, and the bank statements
pertaining to the latter accounts
were reconciled with the books.
Special attention was given to check
ing vouchers covering funds advanced
to various Offices.
The Auditors record Of funds re-
ceived by the Treasurer was COM
pared with the records OF the latter
and verified by test; also, the gem
eral ledger was checked and COM
pared with the trial balance
Concerning the general conduct OF
this department, Mr. Gray reports az
follows: AS q result OF my exam
nation, I am able TO report that, in
my opinion. the ONCE Of Auditor OF
Accounts Also Is conducted with ex-
certional smciency. that the records
are IN excellent form and kept In m
accurate and bnsinese-like manner
that the interests OF the State are
zeahousiy safeguarded, and that there
is an apparent desire to effect pro-
gressfve improvements Of methods.
The classification OF accounts Is pro
ductive Of unusually complete and de-
tailed information concerning the
disbursements of State Funds. While
1t appears that, under the system which
has been in force, adequate measures
have been taken to safeguard funds
once they were received by the
Treasurer, there has been an appar
ent Jack OF provision to ensure that
all funds 10 which the State was en-
titled, were received. The recent ap
pointment Of a Revenue Clerk whose
function viii be, under the direction
Of the Auditor, 30 check up al
sources Of revenue, should prove tc
be productive Of desirable results"
