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 paid out only on an itemized account j- showing actual days of service. U THE NEWNAN GIRL POOR FARM.

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- rate fi.fas. for property and poll tax , presentments be received, entered the fact of which he was not apprised | on ^j ie m inutes of the Court and pub- until after he had issued the fi. fas.
