One of the outst anding features in the
exhibit of the County Comptroller's Report
this year is the great gain in the amount
of money received from the work of Pris-
oners. Last year the amount reported
was only SS0.72, against $42S.63 this
year. This equals the receipts from
this source for the four preceding years.
The reason for this great difference is
question which we think will naturally
arise in the minds of most taxpayers.
We note that night watchman for the
Court House Building has been employed
at salary of $1,000 per month. or 100000
per year: but are also informed that
has has not been equipped with watch
mans clock, and consequently, there can
be no assurance that he is awake and on
duty every hour of the night. We re-
spectfuly suggest that this officer he. at
once furnished with an approved watch
mans clock. which will show every min
ute of every hour cf the night, whether he
was awake and on duty. and thus give
guarantee to the taxpayers that they are
getting the service for which they are pay
ing. Furthermore, a reduction in the in
surance rate and cost. will be allowed if
an approved watchman's clock is used by
the watchman.
The new Indices System being
made in the County Offices. is helping to
extent of about Five Thousand Dollars per
year.
In previous reports we have been rec
ommending that the State take over all
County Roads and we again urge this
course. The Comptroller's records show
that Road Equipment cost last year Sl0.-
SS4.S7. Road Supervisors were paid So
329.lO. The County Engineers Office cost
the County about $l0.000.00. In addition
to these items. there was expended for
roads, in the ten Districts of this County
$50 0.082.77. or a grand total of Sl2O O.296.74.
We think the State could handle this work
at much less cost.
In our comments in last years Report,
we referred to the change in officials re-
suting from the exigencies of politics. We
are pleased to note that the office of
Comptroller has not. in our judgment. suf-
fered in the least. in this regard.
We want to compliment Mr.. Paradee
kept his records. They all very sys-
tematieally arranged, and very easy to ac-
curately audit.
