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 A record of disbursements by war rant for the period under investiga tion.
