REPORT OF COMMISSIONERS OF f., ACCOUNTS.

Hon. J. Nj. Jackson, Judge of Lee County Circuit Court, Fall lS Term, 1920, your Honor:- | We, your Commissioners of Ac- counts of Lee County, would most respectfully submit this, our report of auditing the books and accounts of the several officials of Lee coun- ty, as required by statute.
 We find that the magistrates have filed their quarterly reports with the County Clerk for examination and approved by the County Court and made due accounting of all business coming before them and that the constables have likewise ac- tcoanted for all fines assessed and Esaeed in their hands. However, we find there has been no report of fines collected or to be accounted for for the past six months, neither has, there been any report of de- linquent fines collected for the past six months which the collector is required to do to the County Court. These 5 accounts stand $3, ,1l2.06 be- hind. An examination of the set clement of the collector with the County Clerk for the fiscal year ending July 31, 1920, discloses the fact that the usual affidavit of the collector required by law to be at tached to his report as to he having made due effort to collect all un- paid taxes when asking credit for the same on total amount with which he stood charged has never been made and that there has been no effort made, as far as we can dis cover, to collect same. In eXami- nation of that settlement as made with the County Clerk, we also find a discrepancy existing in the follow ing accounts:
 One the county debt fund, out of balance $1.00; on the general road fund, out of balance S10.00; on the general school fund, out of balance $46.01; on the county general fund, out of balance $79.04; on the cor poration tax (Moro and Aubrey) out of balance $394.49; on the district road fund, out of balance$770.S7,
The courier-index., 1920-10-15

which shows shortage of $1,301.45 yet due from the collector as shown above. We also find treasurer's receipt from the sheriff dated the 4th of April, 1920 for $1,100.00 for delinquent taxes with which no re- port was filed, consequently the clerk and treasurer are at loss to give proper credit to the school districts and other accounts to which it belongs. We do not believe that in the existing discrepancy between the books of the County Clerk and those of the collector of taxes, there was or is any intent to defraud the county of any monies by the collect or and would have been rectified before this, save for the serious ill- ness of the County Clerk the past ten days, and will be done as soon as he is able to return to his of ficial duties.
 In examination of the tax books we find some names reported un- collected who we think could and should have ben made to pay and we trust that the collector will, yet, see that they do.
 We find by examination of the County Court records that all al- lowances made were given due con sideration before allowancewas made and that all county warrants issued in payment of same are in perfect accord We were pleased to note the decreased expenditure of the criminal courts Of the county scarcely half of what they were a few years back.
 We checked up the books of the County Treasurer-which we found models of neatness with those of the County Clerk and found them in perfect accord and balance. We found the following sums to the credit of the several fund accounts which the cashiers of the county de- positories-the Bank of Marianna, the Lee County National Bank affirmed under oath, were there to the credit of the several funds as specified, subject to withdrawal by the proper authorities.

WARSAW CITY
OF REFUGEES

Warsaw, April 11.-WarsGw is hum
ing with war activity and is crowded
to it's very doors with hordes of pow
Verify stricken refugees from the areas
for which the Poles and Bolsheviki
are fighting. Travellers say it is the
most crowded city in eastern Europe
The population is estimated to have
increased from 100000 to 1900, 900
since the world war began.
Everywhere there are officers and
soldiers. Military automobiles, trac-
tors and various other vehicles of war
traverse the streets all day and most
of the night. The cafe life is as bright
and gay as ever, but the restaurants
and theatres close at 10 p. m. to save
food, light and labor. The refugees
from the war-stricken areas began
streaming into the city about a year
ago, and have been coming ever since,
hoping to find food and places to
sleep. The problem of providing for
them has baffled the city officials.
In the poorer districts, Easements
which for generations were used for
storage purposes have been used for
refugees sleeping quarters. In in
stances Is to 20 persons, and even
straw. Others have found shelter in
stables or in buildings intended for
schools. Many of these refugees are
women, with children who have come
out of the east virtually without funds.
During the day these people are partly
supplied with food by the municipality
/ or some of the welfare organizations.
Many exist only by begging.
| Warsaw's tenements, always crowded
as New York's east side has been for
years, are damned with humanity as
never before, and during the severe
winter weather when there was an
| epidemic of influenza here old men
and women and children died by the
hundreds every day in this land of
the poor.
| City officials see no relief in sight
until warmer weather comes when
| they hope the people will gradually
begin leaving for the country to work
| on farms.
