County Indebtedness. $ 912U 14
We, the undersigned auditors of Columbia
County, being elected to adjust and settle tli
accounts of the Commissioners and the Treas-'
urer of Columbia County, do hereby certify
that we met at the Court House, In Blooms
burg, Pa., ou Monday, January 1st, 1900, at tea
o'clock A. M., organized and proceeded to audit
the accounts ot the above named officers. Af
ter examining, correcting and restating th
same from January 2nd, 1899 to January 1st.
1900, we do certify them to be correct. We have
exercised our best Judgment In arriving at our
conclusions, and have endeavored to discharge
the duil?s of our office faithfully, and to llie
best of our knowledge, and submit the above
report.
we find In arriving at amount In hands ot
Treasurer at the beginning of the year 1891
statement should have read $6931.18 instead of
$7040.37, there being the following Items omit
ted : By amount making 27 deeds to county at
$2.62, amounting to $70 74, and amount paid for
advertising 77 tracts of land at 60 cents,
amounting to $34.50. Total amount $1(0.24.
These Items were allowed by the auditors ana
not discovered by Treasurer until too late to
appeal. This being a clerical error we are sit
lsrted that the Treasurer Is Justly eutltled to
the amount and have so allowed him.
We still find some surcharges remain unpaid,
and again suggest that the commissioners en
deavor to collect them.
5. Wm. BOGERT,
Auditors Z. A. BUTT,
1 G. U. SHARPLESS.
Attest : W. F. Stouneh, Clerk.
I concur In tno foregoing statement as t
county's part, except that the auiouut cuaiged
10 the Treasurer, the auditors and Treasurer
have put at $i;93t.)8, whereas the amount should
b $70lii 37 which Is the amount charged up t
him as balance In the treasury, January 1, 18W.
And further, that the sum or amount 01
$44.60 allowed the Treasurer for (ox rent,
stamps, ftc, Is' not a Just credit for the audi
tors to allow him out of the county funds.
These two Items of $109.94 Dn.ng the differ
ence between $7040.87 and $0931.13 und 44.KI,
making $153.81, should be charged to said Treas
urer additional to the amount as found ana
stated In said report, thus making It to rea
balance In hands of Couuty Treasurer $15233.i t.
lnalead of $looo9.91.
Wm. KRICKBAUM,
Couuty commissioner.
The foregoing report of the County Treasur
er having been presented, and the same having

hlshanljby the auditors at their last settle;
went Willi blm Is $7010.37, while the amount

1109.21. Tho $7010.8" being the correct amount
he should be and therefore hereby Is charge!
with tia ance In hands at last settlement m
I70IO.S7, and not (6931.13. , ,
2nd. The Item of "blank, box rent, recelnts.
s umps." amounting to 11.60, Is a claim "''
approved or allowed, nor warrant drawn, U"
us the same ever presented to the Uoawoi
Commissioners for their approval or paynu'"1;
and said credit Is not allowed, his remeuy btink
with the Commissioners and tho Courts as to
tho Justice and legality ot the same. ,,
