REPORT
Continued from page 6
As the Register of Deeds is
ex-officio Clerk of the Board of
County Commisioners, I will
outline under this head the
manner in which, in my opin
ion, the Board's hooks should
he kept. I have opened a Led
ger and for the year 1908 have
posted the credits to the sev
eral funds for this year, charg
ing the Tax Collector.
All sums of money and
claims turned in to the Treas
urer should be credited to the
Tax Collector and charged to
the Treasurer. Then when the
Treasurer turns in his County
warrants and claims for credit,
the total amount must be cred
ited to his account, and the
fund for which the warrants
were issued charged with its
portion of this total amount.
Heretofore the general County-
Fund has been charged and
ccdited with the full amount
of such items as Discoveries,
Delinquents, Insolvents, Com-misions,-
etc. These items
should he divided on the cor
rect basis and each Fund
charged or credited with the
proper amount ,as in no other
mamier will vour Board be
able to ascertain the correct
standing of the various Funds.
The manner of keeping these
accounts probably explains
why the General County Fund
was always hard up, besides
jt is illegal and ought not to be
continued.
CLERK OF THE SUPERIOR
COURT.
I have examined the books
of this office and find that the
Clerk of this Court collects and
turns in to the Countv Com
missioners in Taxes on suits,
et;., from $500.00 to $800.00
annually. These payments are
made upon detailed statements
.subscribed and sworn to.
The books and accounts of
this office are properly kept
and the office is in good condi
tion. '

I have also opened an ac
count against each borrower
in a Ledger, No. 5, and would
suggest that hereafter an accu
rate record be kept of each and
every note. This Sinking-
Fund will run for a good many
years and a large number of
loans will no doubt be made
and paid before the account is
finally written off your books.
CASH ACCOUNT.
As the County Treasurer
has not yet settled with the
Board of Education and the
Countv Commissioners, the
audit of his cash balances is not
completed. There remains in

GENERAL REMARKS.
In reply to your request will
state that the cost of the No-
vpmhpr. 1908. Mention was
$359.14, as per detailed state
. w , w j
ment on file.
The expenses of the Board of
Education for 1907 and 1908
were $1,996.80, and for 1908
and 1909, $1,015.56. These fig
ures were obtained from the
Treasurer's reports.
In conclusion, will state that
the work has been difficult in
many of its phases by reason
of imperfect records and a lack
of system in some of the of
fices, however, it has been
the constant effort of your aud
itor in each Department to at
tain as near as possible to the
actual facts and conditions.
With the hope that I have
been able to meet your reason
able expectations, the within
report is respectfully submit
