I want to record my vote against the adoption of the report of the

desire to make this explanat.on, which I ask to be filed in connection withthe
vote.
"First. In my own district No. 4 all road and bridge work was done
by the road and bridge committee without any consultation with me and without
my knowledge.
"Second. The road and bridge work done by said committee in Ayr and .
Juniata Townships in 1916, in my judgment was unnecessary, in part, and the work,
as done, costs the county too much money and, had it been properly looked after.
much money could have been saved to the tax payers of the county on the work done
in said Ayr and Juniata Townships.

Honorable Board of Supervisors,
Adams County, Nebraska.
Gentlemen: -
Hastings, Nebraska, March 10, 1917.
Complying with your instructions we have made an audit and examination of the
books, records, and accounts of the County Clerkts office of Adams County from January 4,
1912 to ?;larch 3, ' 1917 and submit the following report:
Section 2453 of the ?devised 'Statutes of 1913 'provides` that County Clerks in
Counties having from seven thousand to twenty-five thousand inhabitants, which includes
Adams County, shall receive for their services~a"salary�of 11,650 per annum which shall
be paid by warrant from the General Fv.nd, but in the same paragraph appears a provision
to the effect that such officer and'the deputies, clerks and assistants of such officer,
shall. not receive, in the aggregate, salaries or compensation in excess of the amount
of the fees actually collected by such officer. This is- the interpretation given to the
Section by the Supreme Court of Nebraska in Mizen vs Adams County reported in volume 147
^Torthwesterm Reporter page 699.
This mems that while the Clerk may' 'draw his full maximum salary by warrant
from the general fund, he c?n pay Out for deputy and clerk hire no more than the excess
of the fees received (or earned) over and above"his own salary. In all of the annual
reports filed by ur.Ft?dson his own salary of 11, 650.00 per annum has been omitted. 'The
wide difference in the final results between the .ee.Reports and our findings is largely
due to this fact, as will be seen by the report of our findings by years and terms.
In the fees of the office allowed and paid by the County we find the amount
charged for making tax lists to be in excess Of the amount earned,' according to the rate
of compensation prescribed in Section 2435 of, the Statutes; namely, four cents per line
including footings and: recapitulations.
The differences are as follows.
1912 Amount collected 1 1,024.60.
Amount earned 988.44.

In the allowance we have made for fees earned by the clerk to be paid by the
County, we have been governed by the written opinion of the Countysoffice as
regards the right of the Clerk to demand payment from the County Attorneyrs
viz.; selling licenses to Hunt and Fish for the State Game Commission for which a fee of
=25 cents each was claimed, and for swearing claimants to claims against the County for
(which a fee of 25 cents each was claimed.
In the case of hunting licenses the County Attorney holds that there is no
!provision in the law requiring the County Clerk to either sign or seal such license; and
ino provision for any fee for selling same. Tn the case of the claims against the County
At is held that the swearing of the claimant is a service which can be rendered by any
';rotary, Justice or other officer, is not compulsory on the
that no fee for such service is prescribed by law.part of the County Clerk, and
'Mile the elimination of the fees claimed for swearing claimants negatives
the importance of the matter, we find that it has been the custom to base the charge to
the County for this service upon the total number of claims filed, regardless of the fact
that a very large percentage of the claims were sworn to before a notary or some other
officer, while many were not 'sworn to at all.
The items which we cutout for this
ounty Attorney, are as follows:

Teason, before we had the ruling from the
Section 2435 '?evised Statutes relating to tees of County Clerks reads in
art as follows: "For performing the duties of Clerk to the County Commissioners, and
ttendinp to the businessof the County, such salary per -annum, to be paid by the County
tar er y, as the Commissioners or -M. -county shall allow, not exceeding in any year the
um of four hundred dollars."
The County has paid Mr.Hudson during the entire period of his service as
ounty Clerk the maximum amount provided by the law just quoted.
One of the duties ordinarily performed by a County Clerk as Clerk of the
oard is to check the claims filed against the County as to accuracy in extensions,
0o ings, etc., before they are laid before the Board for final audit and allowance.
Whatever may have been Mr.Hudson's understanding as to his duties in the
atter the claims were not properly checked as will be seen by the following statement
of overpayments and underpayments which we have noticed in checking over the claims;

Recent events have clearly demonstrated that -the past thethodHof keeping the
records in the County clerk's office and the ianner of checking canceled warrants does
not afford an adeqUate protection against the insurance and payment of unauthorized
warrants.
The accounts register, commonly called Claim Register, should by all means
show the number of the warrant issued in payment of each claim, but this warrant number
has been omitted during the entire period under observation.
7e have examined every claim allowed during the five years covered by our
audit, checked each claim with the Claim Register, and then checked the canceled warrants
against the Claim Register, inserting the number ef the warrant in the Register. Te have
also made test checks from the record 'of claims allowed as shown in the Supervisors
:Record, to the Claim Register.
while not wishing to advise the Board as to the measures they should adopt
in checking back the warrants paid by the Treasurer, we can safely say that the plan of
checking, the warrants against the stubs only is not sufficient safeguard.
SATURDAY .- .TA's C T 10th , 1917 - 1 p . T:T. cont .
In checking the paid warrants also, a number of warrants, known to have been paid,were
not in the files. "Te will here insert a list of the missing claims. To list the warrants
missing would necessitate re -checking about ten thousand warrants as many warrants
temporarily removed from the files during the trial, but not introduced:in evidence,
have since been replaced.

There are in the County Clerk's office a large number of unclaimed warrants,.
mostly for amounts ranging from one to fifteen dollars, which will, in all probability,
never be called for. Some of these warrants were issued twenty-five or thirty years ago.
If it can legally be clone these warrants, at least those over two or three
years old, shoeld be canceled by the Board. Of course it would be necessary, if this
were done, to make a permanent record of the warrants canceled in order that payment
could be made at any future time should any of them be called. for.
-4 great many of the claims examined are sadly lacking in detail, and while
they were no doubt intelligible to the Boardat the time they were allowed they afford
but little information essential to a permanent record of public business.
One illustration will euffice to make clear our meaning:
Claim ITo. 1368, C.G.Slater.
"For goods furnished on requisition of
T?.?'.Lidder" ........................... ' 4.45
This claim fails to show the kind, quantity or price of the goods furnished or to whom
furnished, and no order is attached.
We have no doubt that the tr=ansaction was perfectly proper and right, and
mention it only as a typical case of carelessness in making out claims against the County.
Clearly such claims should be returned for correction, and when goods are ordered by one
of the Supervisors, the original order as well as the deteiled bill should be attached
to the claim.
"re will here insert statements, ny years and terms, showing the Far'nings ,
T'isbursements andbalance cue for each year and term o_f.Mr.Huason's incumbency. As these
statements are somewhat complicated we have made an analysts of differences for the
first term and for the second term separately, which may render the statements a little.
clearer. In other words we prove the accuracy of the computations by using another method
of analysis.
There are two items regarding which we have some little doubt as follows;
On January 2, 1914, warrant Number 5 for '95.00 was drawn in favor of
Gertrude Croft for "Extra office service Oct. 1 to Dec. 17, 1913." "Above services
were rendered in the County Clerk's office during; the time the office was without deputy
help." "Te have included the amount of this; warrant in the salary of deputy and clerk
hire, and it is therefore charged against the earnings of the office. If it had been
drawn for some special or extra service instead of extra clerk hire, we would have
omitted it from our statement, as we did in the case of several smaller warrants drawn
to the same person.
The other case is one where. in 1912, 1tr.Hudson claims credit for having
paid the Board of Health :50.00. T"e have no information whatever regarding this trans-
action, excest that it is shown in his 1912 fee report. et would seem to us that if
there was anything due the Board of Health, either State or County, claimshould have
been made and presented to the Supervisors for regular action. if it was a proper charge
against the County funds which "r.Hudson was authorized to pay and paid he would be
entitled to an additional credit of 4?50.00 in his first term.

At the time we were einoloyed to make this audit we were requested to look
up the amounts drawn by each Supervisor each year under observation. 7e therefore
append a statement of sane as follows. It is our understanding that the maximum
amount allowed Per diem and mileage is '650.00 per year for each Supervisor. It will
be seen that only twice in the five years has the amount withdrawn exceeded the limit.
In the year 1912 both Mr.Kidder and Mr.Heiler overdrew the maximum allowance.
