warrants drawn against such funds:
and tta estimated net balances ta
each and aU of such funds and
there balances agree with, those ar-
rived at in the state comptrolfer’a
office in every Instance.
**Tte seeming discrepancy alluded
to by the auditor in respect to the
differences between the two depart-
ments, is due to the fact that both
changes at different times in tta
this Office and tta oomptroller's has
been checking to ascertain tta old
outstanding warrants, and a part o( P^ucan
my records having bean destroyed by
ffre-or lost years before my admin-
of the house iteration, causes the results from
this checking to be different In the
two departments.
Cancelled Warrants Checked Up
"For nearly five years, with stu-
dent help and others when they
could be spared from routine duties
for so long, I have been checking
the cancelled warrants against tta
available record, and tta task te not
half completed. In my opinion, the
state auditor with all of his tdna
continuously working could not ac-
curately cheek the more than 200,-
000,000 cancelled warrants tn the
vaults of the treasury against tta
records ta six months time.

program and therefore was forced
to delay taking thte action."
