Pursuant to your instructions, I have made an examination of the ac counts and records of the various county offices. I find all records and accounts neatly and intelligently kept. I examined the records of the bonds for the various officers and find them properly filed and recorded. Most of these bonds are made in guarantee companies that I assume to be all right. In the limited time allowed me I, of course, could not check in detail all the records and accounts, but found everything correct and well kept, so far as my investigation ex tended.
