eral funds of st. Louis county, by
reason of lack of sufficient money
in certain of said funds. to enable
the county treasurer to pay said
warrants out of the fund on which
drawn, and said county treasurer has
paid all warrants out of the funds in
which there were sufficient balances
remaining to enable payment of said
warrants out of said funds, resulting
finally in the refusal of payment of
warrants drawn on some of said
funds, in which there would have
been balances sufficient to pay said
warrants drawn thereon had the
money in said several funds in which
there were ample balances, been used
to pay other warrants, thereby saw

county for considerable period of
] time; and
Whereas, the county auditor has
made an examination of the warrants
paid out of the various funds other

interest which the warrants drawn
on the various funds of the county

funds in which there were balances,
and used to pay warrants drawn on
other funds, and has recommended
to this board that he be authorized
to charge against the several funds

should bear.
