CIRCUIT COURT SPRING TERM

CIRCUIT COURT SPRING TERM
 1919
 Hon. J. M. Jackson, judge,
 Your Honor:
 We, your commissioners of ac- counts for Lee county, would most respectfully beg to file this, our re- port of the result of our examina- tion of the books and accounts of the several officials as required by the statutes.
 We examined and checked up the accounts rendered and allowed by the County Court, together with the warrants issued in the payment of same as ordered, and find them in accord with the exception of few minor errors which were readily ex- 'plained and adjusted. Noticeably in this particular it was discovered by the county court that in good many instances witnesses and other attend ants on the circuit court had been al lowed attendance and mileage to which they were not entitled. This has been rectified by the county judge and clerk. k
 We find that the magistrates of the county have all filed their re- ports to the quarterly courts as re- quired, reporting the business which had come before them, and what dis posal had been made of all fines and penaltise assessed, and that the sher- if and constables to which they were entrusted had made due report of same. We find that these collecting officers have made due accounting of the same with one or two excep- tions, which the county clerk assur- ed us could be satisfactorily arrang- ed within a short time.
 We find that both the county and circuit clerks have filed with the county court their reports of tax on instruments together with the treas urer's receipts for amounts due on same. These amounts we verified and found correct.
 In our examination of the delin- quent tax report of the sheriff, we find that very few collections have been made for the past six months.

Special district D overdrawn, $735.56.
 Bank of Marianna checking ac- count, S3,334.98.
 Bank of Marianna deposit, $22,- 120.96.
 Lee County National Bank deposit $22,120.96.
 Bank of Haynes, deposit, $2,000.
 Bank of Moro, deposit, $2,000.
 Total, 58,403.39.
 From the foregoing statement will be seen that two school districts are overdrawn. Marianna and Rondo. Deputy Treasurer Allen tells us that the directors of special district D (Rondo) had arranged their deficit, but that special district A (Maran- nal still remains in arrears.
 It will also be noted that the county general fund is considerably overdrawn, with the expense of the present circuit court and the allow ances of April and July county court to be provided for. In fact, it ap- pears to us that if there is not some NhSSh Ou COuuCy tpPiOPl will not be long before we will have depreciated county warrants.
 We checked up the books and ac- counts of Road Improvement District No. 1, and found all accounts and books methodically and correctly kept. From statement rendered us by Secretary Hummer, and verified by the depository of said district, The Bank of Marainna, we found the sum of $4,55013 to the credit of the district, with outstanding checks of $1,09823 against it, leav- ing a net balance of $3,451.90, all that remains of receipts amounting to $56,201.50. With monthly ex- penses in excess of that amount, and with three months of the fiscal year, April, May and June to be provided for. But of course, if there should be deficit created in the funds it will be taken care of by the accom- modating banks of Marianna as long as the school funds keep them we'll supplied with ready money. All of which is respectfully sub- i mitted.

SEE AN ARCHITECT,
THEN A BUILDER
William Serby's Advice to
Owners Who Intend to
Make improvements.

With the spring remodeling and re-
pair work now being contemplated to
residences and business properties,
William Serby, a prominent builder,
advises the owners of such property to
first get an architect TO handle the
advice" end of the transaction, before
the builder is called in.
Mr.. Serby calls attention to some
such owners who seek the advice of
builder regarding the plans and then
give the actual work to some other
builder, after having consumed much
valuable time of the builder
Tells of Sad Instances.
He relates an incident which he says
was the experience of a local builder:
Not long ago, young southeast
business man asked him to call to see
about job, 1t seems that this par
tlcular business man wanted to re-
model his store, and his object in hav
ing the builder call, was to get few
pointers" on how to lay out the new
store. The builder called, used up
about three hours time. and obliging
the questions asked. The sequel is
funny The builder never got d chance
to bid on the job, nor was he asked
so to do,
The moral is very clear If you
want building advice. Mr.. Owner, get
an architect. Architects make a husi
ness of preparing plans, are trained to
lay out or design work, and in nine
cases out of ten will more than save
TO the owner. the commission or fee
| they charge. Small jobs running as
low as $500 are no exception to this
rule. Aside from the fact that it is
the business of the architect and not
the builder to give advice or prepare
plans, there is another consideration.
The builder is a very busy man, and
can i'll spare the time to go about Civ
ing free advice

Another Phase of Abuse.

Still another phase of this abuse
of the builders good-nature and
precious time: a local automobile
accessory firm, with a very aggres-
sire but thoughtless (to put it char
ltably) manager called in a builder
rush proposition, and MIR. Manager
wanted his work done quick (and
at the same time on a competitive
basis. He Informed Mr., Builder
that time was valuable to him and
he could not wait to have plans and
specifications prepared. Would Mr..
Builder give him figure, also fur
nishing such plans and specifications
as he could? The builder hurried out,
got his architect, and by the next
day had plans. specifications and
price ready falI in triplicate, per man.
ayers reguesD.
The job is yours said Mr.. Mana
ger, but will have to have the plans
OK d by our general manager. It
will take about three days
The sequel to this is also funny
but not to the victim. The manager
called in three other builders at once
got competitive figures and gave
low man the job. IN. B.-The first
builder was not low MANI And
builder friend is still waiting for
the manager to hear from Pitts
burgh.' 1t cost the first builder $40
to get the plans and specifications
prepared.
Lays It to Ignorance.
Such abuses are altogether too
common to please most builders.
Perhaps they result from either
thoughtlessness or just plain mean
ness on the part of owners T think
1t is due to ignorance on their part,
and hence this letter.
Builders as a class are aIways
glad to give estimates. and never
begrudge the time given to getting
sub bids. making out bills of guam
titles, looking over site, etc
But remember, that it lis the busi-
ness of the architect to furnish plans
and specifications for a building prof.
ect. These furnish the common
point for the meeting of minds. so
essential to any contract 1t is the
business of the builder or contractor
to furnish labor and materials re-
auired by the architects plans and
specifications. If you are planning to
get building work done this spring
first get your architect He will
handle the advice end. Don't sponge
on builders for architectural serv-
ice"
