The general lack of care in hand
ling the vouchers was further eyidenc-
ed by vouchers with zcknowledge-
signed but not acknowledged, vouchers
County Commissioners:
The members of the board are paid
At the rate of $500 per month for
these services They are also reim-
bursed Tor some of the upkeep of their
cars and for gas and oil. Since it Is
the duty of the commissioners to over
see the road work (which WAS quite
heavy during the past year) we feel
that this automobile expense is q just
obligation of the county. Should the
commissioners charge for the distance
Travelled on \ mileage basis. as they
would be permitted TO do under the
1921 Statutes, Ch- I23, Sec. l2, the ex-
pense TO the county would undoubtedly
be heavier.
The chairman OF your Board, Mr..
Whaien, received the sum Of $4,000
per month for expenses while in Den
Yer in January, February and March
1922. MIR Whalen was occupied In
endeavoTing TO secure larger road
appropriation from the State, and al
so used considerable time in locating
suitable road machinery, tractors and
the like, which were requisitioned and
shipped to Gunnison County The
value Of this equipment so obtained
was in the neighborhood of
S30,000.00, consequently the $4,000
paid by the County for the expense of
Mr.. Whalen might be considered good
investment. However. these payments
should have been supported by itemiz-
gd bills OF expense in order 70 comply
with the law.
The vouchers for road work (which
expenditures were made by direction
Of your BoardD were, on the whole, in
good condition, being usually support
ed by itemized bills or labor reports,
and in most cases bearing the approx
al of the road oyerseer. A consider
able number of vouchers were signed
with the name of the creditor by A. A.
Miller or NJ. J. Slate, which practice
is not authorized under the statutes
and should be discontinued, even il it
entails inconvenience to some of the
employees of the County. All vouch-
ers should be signed by the persons
making the claims and their sigma
lures acknowledged by the County
Clerk or some other officer authorized
to administer oaths.
In conclusion we certify that the an
neNed statement of County Clerks re-
ceipts and disbursements is correct

book and other books and memoranda
turned over to US for audit.

Postage
Included

The expenditures for postage aver
age s35-52 per month which would pay
first class postage on 1856 pieces OF
mail matter-a rather heavy mail for
the Clerk OF a county the size OF Gun
uisun County. There were no receipts
suhmitted covering these disburse-
meuts although the post office en-
ployees are Permitted TO give such re
C.iptS
Other expenditures were in most
cases unsupported by paid bills or
other evidence to show that the dis
bursements claimed had in fact been
made. We estimate that not more
than is per cent to 20 per cent OF the
above expenditures were properly
yOuChed for.

venfeation of Bills against County

A large number of the vouchers bore
little evidence of having been eXamin-
ed or checked by the clerk. The County
Clerk Is also the Clerk Of the Board Of
County Commissioners and as such, we
take il, Is supposed to relieve the
members Of the Board Of clerical du-
ties. II is not reasonable TO suppose
that the members of your Board are
charged with the checking of addi-
tions or computations on vouchers.
We feel that -FOUR Board should in
stTuct the clerk to verify the oompu-
tations on all vouchers presented for
allowance, SO that the taxpayers in
terests may be properly guarded.

Preparation of Vouchers:

The law does not require that the
clerk prepare vouchers for holders of
claims but the clerk at times has taken
this upon himself. In many instances
he, or his deputy, not only wrote up
the vouchers but supplied the sigma
lures and then acknowledged such
signatures as being those of the credit
ors. This we regard as n serious
matter, since the law specifically di-
reefs that accounts shall be made out
and verified by affidavit (of the credit
