It wm be noted thai there to in the hands of the Sheriff a balance U the credit of the various special school districts, with one. or two tfxoeptkms. We are informed that it has "been customary in -the past for th? Sheriff Jo retain these small balanoee until alter his1 accounts havfc beer audited by the Finance Committee, when the sevrtrhl sums are paid ovei to U>4 County Treasurer. This will be done this year4* usual. We think It no* amiss to make mention'of the small tn-oWen* Pst shown in the Sheriff's report this year. It amounts td * fraction oter two pei cent of the total tax; levy and indicates good work In the collection ol tba taxes. We believe It to be the smallest Insolvent list' In the hlstorj of the county?certainly within recent jreare?and reflects credit upon ?.h< Sheriff and hie deputies. We desire to call attention to the^tatpment of the bonded debt of th< county. These hoods were Issued in 190b.'1*08 and 1909. and. so fai a we pre able to ascertain, no provision has been made for a Sinking ^ Fund to retire them at their maturity. We strongly recommend that roui honorable body take the'pecessarr steps toward creating snch a Blnt&k Fund at the earliest possible date; otherwise the-hands will mature an<J . . And "no funds, to,inept tjiem. ' / We hate lnspeeted.the pass-books and statements of the various courftj depositories, and flttd that the Treasurer had on hand the following * amounts as ?t**y 11. l*ir. v > Cash and caSh items. . . 1;488.52 Bank uf Washington .. .,.4.812.6* , First National Bank 4,365.78 - ^_ Savings and Trust Company. 3.*4477 Bank of Belhaven. . .. .*. 4.093.76 Bank of Aurora ' 1,082.39 ^I K* ' - Total $19,472.83 This shows more on lmnd than the Treasurer's Statement calls for, nd " the difference Is due to !ho tact that some Of the checks draWn prior to liar list had not keen pr, Rented at the banks ,by ?iat date. * : ' -- We find tbat the-aresmtcr has on hand tb? suni of $51.26 collected from Game Taxe* and $73.00 from Automobile Takes, a part of which money has been In his t anffs for two years or flore.
