To the Honorable Ernest Gary, Presiding Judge: We the Grand Jury, beg leave to make this our final pre?- ! sen t men t, at Ibis term of court. 1. AYe have t)'ds{/(id on all bills blinded lis by the Solicitor and: , have. niado such present-1incuts the evidence seemed to warrant. k2. In making the annual settlement for the year 190(>, the Comptroller General of the 1 State reported thati there was an 'apparent" shortage of OI I r. t ;: > u. i t- < " 1 VJ . 1 in mr UOOK.S OJ I lie then County Treasurer. We think that he should have taken steps immediate!y to determine p isitively whether there was an apparent or real short- , age of this amount, but nothing further was done ami the matter stood in statu quo until last year, when the Grand Jury secured the services of two public accountants to examine the books of the County Treasurers for the years of 1901 to 1008 inclusive. They made their re port which was submitted with, our final presentment at; thO spring term of: Court this year. Errors have, however ocen found in their report and we ' ."** therefore unwilling to accept it as correct. We have made repeated requests to the Comptroller General to send an accountant to clear up the matter, which he has declined to do on the ground that he Ij^ur guat the necessary funds i in Ills office to do so. We are unrolling to put the coujity to furtler oxDense in the hiring a " """ ' ? r? of accountants to examine the hookas again whose report might 1 be as fruitless as the former one. Upon consideration, we art; of the opinion that it will be best for county to accept the 1 statement of*]I. W. Farr, exrn 4 1 * * - - i reinsurer, attached to this pre- ! sentment and marked Exhibit "A" and recommend that settlement he mado with him on < this basis. This statement < shows a balance of $'291.52 due the rountv, and upon payment \ of this amount to the County Treasurer he will chaise oil' the i balance of SKM.Ol from his hooks 1 so as t<> eliminate tin* amount of the apparent shortage of ?1.which lie is now carrying ( on his hooks where no cash exexists.

The Poor Farm is in very good condition, the inmates properly cared for, and the crops good. We believe that the present Steward is a very competent. man and commend his services in behalf of the farm. 5. We find the affairs of the comity generally in splendid condition. Our financial condition is very good, the Supervisor reporting that the debt of the county has been materially reduced.
