Because of Dispute as to
Fees Discrepancies Are
Found to Exist.
By reason of the county audit sub-
mitted Wednesday morning to the
county commissioners it is admitted
that the county will net $9 W0.
According to William McSain who
with county auditor Roy Barnum. com-
piled the audit the amount outstanding
and owed the county by county officers
totals J 4 000. That amount Mr McSain
stated was subject to legal opinions.
"Incident to the audit." Mr. McSain said
"we have recovered and will recover in
round numbers 39060 owed the county
by county officers in excess fees and
other items. That Is during the period
of the past three years."
The sheriffs office is not Included
in the report as the sheriff pays all the
fees of his. office.
One item Included In the report was
jury fees and stenographer fees held
by the district clerk amounting to 99r.
That was on April 1. District clerk J.
A. Escajeda who was present produced
receipts showing that he had paid that
amount.
The county attorney's audit showed
the county attorney owed the county
J809-20. County attorney P. R. Price
stated that he did not know the amount
until last Saturday. He stated that be
had tried to keep a record in his office
but that it had been misplaced. Mr.
Price stated that he was" willing to take
the auditor's resort and when the audit
was made he paid the amount assessed
against him.
Bookkeeping la Obsolete.
"Bookkeeping methods now In use in
practically all the departments are en-
tirely inadequate. Inaccurate and unsys-
tematic" reads the report of the county
auditors who submitted the countv
audit to the county commission Wed-
nesaay morning. The sneriirs omce Is
not Included In the audit The auditors
recommended that all county offices be
studied by experienced accountants.
On their recommendation a new sys-
tem of bookkeeping will be installed In
the county offices.
In the audit of the district clerk's
office the auditors noted a discrepancy
of $33.50 In criminal fees to the dis
trict clerk from the state controler.
This matter Is purely between the state
and the clerk it is stated and is cov-
ered by the annual report.
Methods Are Slipshod.
The auditors take a rap at the book-
keeping methods in the district clerk's
office stating that they are impractic-
able and slipshod. There Is no record
In the office of the dally cash receipts
the report says. The only record. It is
said. Is the entering of payments on the
dockets. The auditors say that it
would be expedient to have receipt
books.
It was discovered that Jury and
stenographer fees amounting to 3999
due the county by the audit of April
1 had been paid within a few days after
the audit.
There Is no record of disbursements
by the district clerk the report Is for
salaries of deputies and extra clerk hire.
A payroll book is recommended.
