COUNTY OFFICERS
Comptroller's Auditor Says Dillon
Has Efficient Set of OFFICERS

Mr.. Jones, representing the Comp
troller Generals office. who recently
n ade complete audit OF the coun-
tvs affairs, has filed his report and
compliments the several officers Very
highly. Following are extracts from
TIE report commenting III Il general
way upon the several offices:
MIR. ID. s. Allen.)
Books and Records.
The Auditor has prepared the tax
duplicate with Il remarkable degree
of care and accuracy, and the alb
stIacts furnished the Comptroller
General are representative statements
of the taxes and penalties levied.
They are neat. accurate, and comply
strictly with the law.
Tax Statement
We have carefully audited the du-
plicate and have no corrections nor
criticisms to offer. On page two of
this report we submit condensed
statement of all taxes and penalties
charged TO the treasurer on account
OF 1919 taxes. These amounts agree
with those charged the treasurer in
the annual settlement of June 80,
1920.
Neneral OmmentS.
We beg to call attention to the
fact that. in addition to diligently and
differently performing the routine
duties of his office. this officer has
been instrumental in the passing
of more than ene bill of constructive
Legislation. For example. when the
present Auditor took charge there
,t-l,a
trict lay in more than one township.
1his makes no special difference en-
cept that there would be several
Township Boards of Assessors pass
ing on property i'm the same school
district. Through the efforts and at
the instigaton of Mr.. Allen this law
has been changed so that no school
district extends beyond the boundar-
! les of the Township in which il is
situate. This not only does away with
Il reedless confusion of townships
and school districts. but also greatly
facilitates the work of the County
! Auditor as we'll as that of any ac
coun;ant who may wish to check hi.
accounts.
a second act for which the Count!
Auditor is largely responsible is on
relative to the Boards of TOWNSHIP
! Assessors 1t has been customary tC
appoint so many men from Il town
= hip regardless of the school distric
from which they came or the numbe
of school districts in the township
The law as changed is that there b'
one representative from each schoo
district, a more intelligent law b!
far We refrain from further com
ments other than TO commend this Of
ficer for his all-around ability anC
