COLLECTIONS THROUGH COMMISSIONERS’ OFFICE
We undertook the prove out the amounts paid to Treasurer
by your Clerk, but found impossible to do so. We could find no
detailed record of these cgllections, nor any memoranda showing
what these payments constituted. In trying to check out such
collections, we have listed on “‘E-5” all Insolvent Fi-Fas., of which
there was any record of payment. Oun ‘‘E-6”” we list costs paid
to county through cases in City Court. Bringing these together,
we make collections as follows:
