We, the committee detailed to exam ine tho books lo the county treasurer's office, have completed the duty assigned U9; have to report that we have found nothing that is not in order in the ac counts of said office. Our Investigation has impressed us with tho belief that the duties of the office have been well and faithfully performed. E. A. Sliker, W. H. Pierce, G. W. Black, 1 Committee. t PROBATE JUDGE AND SCHOOL SUPER INTENDENT. We, your committee appointed to ex amine tho office of the probate judge and ex-offlclo school superintendent, beg leavo to report that we find the office well kept, the books in neat order and everything in satisfactory condl tion. We observe, however, that the office seems to lack the necessary furniture for properly conducting the business thereof, and we would recommend to (ho board of supervisors that a steel filing cabinet be purchased for the vault similar to that now in the vault of the clerk of the district court: also, 'that a desk be purchased for uso in the probate business, especially as the offices of probate judge and school superintendent are about to be sepa rated, and the only desk in the office at present which is county property, be longs to the school superintendent. Respectfully submitted, George P. Campbell, A. G. CmsnoLM, C. M. Wolf. SUPERVISORS AND RECORDER. Your committee, appointed to exam ine into the condition of the office of the board of supervisors and recorder, beg leave to report as follows: We find the office of the supervisors to be In most excellent condition. All the accounts are so systemlzed that the transactions and condition of every office in the county can be ascertained in a moment. It is our belief that a more perfect set of books or more accu rate accounts can not be found in the territory. Every account is complete to date, and an inspection of them shows the affairs of the county to have been ably and conscientiously managed. We can not close our report of this office without mention of the highly valuable service rendered by the clerk of the board. It is due to his industry and skill that the accounts of the office are in such admirable condition, and it is only fair to say that in conducting the affairs of his office he has shown administrative ability of a high order. Wo find the recorder's office to be in the best condition it has ever been in the history of the county. During the last two yean the work has more than doubled, yet it has been handled with out increase of expense to tho county. The receipts of the office are very largely in excess of tho expense of maintaining it in faot it contributes largely to the revenue of the county. The books of record are In perfect con dition, and every Instrument filed are recorded forthwith. Your committee desires especially to commend the in cumbent of this office for his fidelity and conscientious regard of. the county 's interest. Respectfully submitted, C. H. SCHULZ, W. H. Campbell, Frank Beasley. sheriff's office and jail. We, the committee appointed to ex amine the jail anc1, sheriff's books, find the same in good 'order. A. P. POLSON, E. M. Twitty, I A. J.

August Tetzlaff, William Souder. buildings and grounds. We, your committee on buildings and grounds, beg leave to report as follows: We recommend that all the outside woodwork of the buildings belonging to the county be painted, and that a fence be constructed around the court house grounds. Such enclosure should be constructed in a oubstantial manner, your committee believing that it will improve as well as beautify the prem ises, as there are ample funds in the treasury. In general, we find all the county buildings to be in good condition, the only requirements being suggested above. Respectfully submitted, E. A. Sliker, C. H. Schulz, A. P. Polson.
