Under the new law, in direct violat ion of
the rulings of the State School Commis

This money lias been drawn, not in their
own names, but they have in every in- i
stance made out their reports and
drawn the money in the names of their 1
assistants. The School Commissioner
is to get for services actually rendered
a sum not to exceed three dollars a day.
We recommend that this money be

showing actual days of service.

in some instances, from the same name
appearing twice upon the digest ; which
is, however, not always the fault of
the Receiver, as some names are given
in twice. The recent change in the
law, compelling the Receiver to take
down the returns on printed slips,
makes his duties much more laborious
than heretofore. It is the use of these
slips that, in a great measure, gave rise
to the frequent errors.
TAX COLLECTOR’S BOOKS.
The Tax Collector’s books are in the
main correct. There are some errois
in extensions. The Collector s troubles
arise largely from errors and omissions
made by the Receiver. We find taxes
collected from the following parties
and no returns made : Y. C. Thompson,
$13.54 ; G. R. Sponeler, $2.57 ; M. M.
Barron, 31c. ; W. G. McWilliams $1.31.
It is not the opinion of the grand jury
that it was the intention of the Collec
tor not to return this money, but an ov
ersight, We found stubs representing
the above amounts among his papers,
which convinced us that they wexe
overlooked, and the amounts above
mentioned were included in his settle- j
ment with the County Commissioners. ;
It is due to the Collector to say that the !
confusion in issuingji.fas. was caused j CovexaJSci’EJIok ^ukt, j
by a change in the law requiring sepa- j d by t f ie Court that these gen-
