Through committee we have examined the 'books of the vdfjous county office^, and the doqktf* of the justices of the peace, where sane have been presented iii . in- Wfuf ooks of the county state that on account of lack of time and want of familiarity with the books it is almost impossible to make a careful or accurate or intelligent inspection ,of sajne, and we believe tliut the average grand juries have * yperienced, and will continue to ex perience the same difficulty. In view of the obvious necessity of keeping these matters entirely correct, and , ns a matter of protection to the 1 county, and justice to the officers involved, we recommend that m; an nual audit be mac of the dounty 1 hooks, that is the books of the v-ri-l ous county officers, and a report he ' made annually to the grand jury by | a certified public accountant, -0 that •be-c things might be made a matter of record, and that they might be t.oropgbly reliable and acceptable to 'he o' r .-commend that the missionor of Ronds and Rev nuev 3 be future of America nn.l the and one Unis Lusk, and uppiv, c the future of its business structure must pl’ovisios thereof, and rec .mmerd depend on the strict and regular ex- ton 1 same be put into effect eivise of sound reasoning and judge •ith.
