Huckabee. ? I made every effort to see Hherlff Huckabee In order to learn what disposition he was making of the tax executions placed In his hands for collection, but regret to bay that he did come to the Court HoUso during my uojurn there. The abwtraeU ou file show that Sheriff Iluck a bee received from the Treasureit tax executlnoa an shown by the state ment which follow, viz: For the Year 1941 For the Year 1912 State Taxes 1,234.37 State Taxes 1,668.42 County Taxes 1,903.66, County Taxes 3,610.20 School Taxes .. ,. .. 1,991.08 School Taxes . .: .. .. ..2,676.48 Total .. $6,1 29 00 Total ..$7,744.16 No report made Sept. 26, 1913 No report made Sept. 26, 1913. in regard to the above the Sheriff's attention should he called to Section No. 428, Code of Daws '02j Section No, 1197, '18r While the Sheriff has apparently made no return of cash collect ed, I learned from the Hank of Camden that he has on deposit, official ly, the sum of $1,844.99. I am not Jn a position to state whether or not this cash represents his collections of delinquent taxes however. 1 attach the bank's- certificate to this report. You will note that they do not show this account as official OfflCo of Super! utejideiit of Kducatlon The incumbent Is a new officer and none of his work is included In the settlement of June 30.,. 1913. It is sufficient, at this time, to scate that I examined the Ixjoks In this office for the past year's work and found the figures to compare accurately with amounts carried to tne settlement sheet, and with the cancelled vouchers 011 file. The only bonded district in this county appears to be No. 1. I find that an Issue was authorized by special Act of the legislature, and sold an follows: 30 year School District No. 1, 6 per cent Honds. dated 1903. maturing 1933, $18,000.00. - ----- ? ? - Office of Supervisor. The Supervisor keeps no lile book of Claims Audited and allowed by the County Hoard of Commissioners, showing the distribution of expenditures. The only book in use being a Register of Warrants Is sued, giving t lie name of claimant, number and amount of claim only, t his warrant register is apparently added on a machine for the pur pose of the Annual Settlement, but the total figures were not entered on the' book. 1 can say very little in favor of the books as kept In this office. The Record of Minutes of the County Hoard Meetings gives little information. 1 beg to call attention to Section No. 807, Civil Code '02, Section No. 9 92, Civil Code '12, which requires that the claims allowed be listed in the minutes of the meetings, etc. The bonded indebtedness appears to be as follows: 25 year Court House 6 per cent Honds dated 1905, maturing 1930 . . . $26,000 20 year Hridge 6 per cent Honds, dated 1908, maturing 1928 40,000 30 year it. it. 5 per cent Honds, refunded, dated 1912, maturing 104 2.. . . . . . . . . . v . . . 95,000 Total outstanding Sept. 25, 1913 .. ,-.. . .. .. ..$160,000 Von will find a statement of expenditures for various ? county pur poses. 1 desire to explain that the division of expenses was estimated,, for the reason that tne Supervisor has not kept any isocounts of this nature, and 10 obtain this data accurately from the actual vouclTers on file would require considerable tithe and expense.

This examination was made In connection with the Annual Settlement for the fiscal year ending Juno 30ib, 1913, which I witnessed and approved iw? the repreaentatj^o* ' or the Comptroller Oeneral's office. s\ have uatlsfled myself, through ] this investigation, that the Treasurer has accounted for all charge* made again st^b I m, for the period covered.
