AUDITOR’S REPORT
Judge B. H. Hardy,
Barnesville, Ga.
Dear Sir:—
In accordance with instructions,
we have completed an audit of the
records of Lamar county for the
year ending December 31st, 1024.
Report showing the result of our in
vestigation is submitted herewith.
Every detail in connection with the
county’s affairs for the period under
examination has been carefully
checked and the report that follows
is correct.
We thank you for the opportunity
of service.
Yours very truly,
DREWRY AUDIT CO.,
By J. H. Drewry, Certified Public
Accountant.
COMMENT
Financial Statement
Tnis statement is included as a
matter of information to show the
progress being made in the admin
istration of the county’s affairs. The
assets as scheduled are subject to
some shrinkage, as we have listed the
balance in the Digests, making no
allowance for errors, insolvents, etc.
However, based on former years, this
shrinkage would not amount to over
five hundred dollars ($500.00), which
would still leave an excess over lia
bilities of more than $10,000.00.
We have included in this statement
only the quick assets; when you take
into consideration the permanent in
vestment, such as road machinery and
equipment, court house furniture and
fixtures, the excess of assets over lia
bilities will be much greater. The
main point conveyed by the state
ment is that the county has operated
for four years, paid all its bills and
at the end' of the four year period
is able to show a balance in excess
of its obligations. In our opinion
this is a remarkable showing and
worthy of commendation.
B. H. Hardy, Ordinary
