Brevard, N. C Sylvan Valley News, Brevard, N. C. Leaving a balance dile the county of $6268.41 This amount ($6,268.41) find the Treasurer has on hand subject to the order of the county. While the report must be most gratifying to every citizen of .the county, there are some facts that presented themselves to your com mittee in the course of its investi gation that we desire to recom mend in the most urgent language we can command. 1st. It is absolutely nesessary that the office of the County Su perintendent of Education and the office of the Treasurer be provided with books suitable for a perma nent record. Their offices are at present sui^plied with cheap memo randa books of inferior quality and very insecurely bound. 2nd. A strict compliance of all the officers with Section 1398, Sub section 2 and 5 of the Revisal of 1905, and with Sections 4154 and 4157 of the School Law is impera tively necessary, in order to avoid confusion and errors. The follow ing are the laws: Sec. 1398, Subsection 2. To keep a true account o/ the receipts and ex penditures of'all such moneys, taking proper vouchers in every case 4n books provided for that purpose at the expense of the county, which said books shall at all times show the date, amount, and from whom he shall have received such moneys; the date, amount and to whom he has paid out any of the said moneys, the total amount received and the total amount paid out during the current fiscal year for school purposes, for general county purposes, for jury fund, and for each special purpose, all separate ly kept, so that at all times his said books shall correctly and accurately show the condition of the said several accounts. His account of expendi tures for general county purposes shall also show separ^itely the amounts expended each year on ac count of the connty home, indigent persons, jails, work-houses, court house, bridges, insolvent fees, courts, and such other special accounts as &hall be required by the Board of Ctomissioners of the county, the total of^said accounts being the aggregate amount expended during the fiscal year for general county purposes. He shall post at the courthouse door on the first Monday in each month a correct statement of such receipts and expenditures, showing the amount re ceived, and from what source, and the amounts paid out, and to whom, and for what purpose, and the bal ance in his hands belonging to the county. Subsection 5. To exhibit his books and accounts and moneys once every three months, or oftener, if the Board of Commissioners of his county deem it necessary, to a committee to be composed of the chairman of the Board of Commissioners and one other person to be selected by the Board of Commissioners, who shall be an expert accountant, and it shall be the duty of ybhis committee to exam ine the books and accounts of his office, and to see that the accounts are correctly and promptly kept, and to count the money in the hands of the Treasurer, and to see that it corre sponds with the amount shown by the books to be in his hands. And at every such examination of the books and accounts of his office the county treasurer shall exhibit a full, perfect and itemized statement to said com mittee of the use he has made of eyery dollar of public tunds in.his hands since the last exhibition of his books to said committee, and if any part of said funds has been loaned out this statemeht shall state to whom loaned and on what security, and the amount of interest paid on said loan, and such interest shall be by the treasurer covered into the' county treasury. This statement shall be sworn to and published in a county newspaper or at the courthouse dopr: Provided, that nothing herein contained shall be con strued to authorize the county treas urer to lend any public funds. And if at any time there shall be a deficit in the amount of money in the hands of the treasurer, the committee shall so report to the Board of Commission ers, whose duty it shall be to institute proceedings in the superior court against said treasurer for violation of his offici- 1 duties. ^ Sec. 4154. The treasurer of the county school funds shall keep a book in which shall be entered a full and detailed account of all public school moneys received by him, the nanie of each person paj^ing him school raoney, the source from which the same may have been derived, and the date of such payment. In his set tlement with the sheriff or other col lecting officer of public school funds the treasurer shall receive money only.” Sec. 4157. It shall be the duty of the treasurer of the county school fund to keep a book in which he shall open an account with each township in the county, showing the amount apportioned to such township by the County Board of Education. He shall also open an account with each school district showing the amount apportioned to such district. He shall record all payments of school money, giving the date, the amount, the person to whom paid, and for what purpose paid. He shall balance the account of each township and district annually, on the thirtieth of June^ and shaQ report by letter or printed circular within ten days thereafter such balances to the County Board of Education and to the school com- mittiee. If these laws are^ strictly cpm- plied with the auditing of the ac counts of the county can be done in a veiy short time. J. L. Bell,* W. P. Whitmire, J. A. Galloway, Committee. EXPOSmON The Colonia!
