CHANGE IN KEEPING ACCOUNTS Records Will Hereafter Show How foaatr Road Fsmd la Eapetadod. A new system of keeping tha aefcounta of moneys expended on the county? roads la to bo adopted by tha Board of County Su pervisors. This was decided upon at tha session of tho board yesterday, complaint having been made by several heavy tax payers that tho records of the board failed to show how or on what roads the county road fund is -expended. Tha discussion of tha question developed the fact that aome of the members of tho board even failed to file their payrolls with tha county audi tor and that tho only record of tha ex penditure of several thousands of dollars annually on tha county roads would be bills designating an amount and Indorsed by a member of the board, but giving abso lutely no Information as to where or how tho money had been spent. In future the board decided that each supervisor shall not only file hla payrolls,' but at the same time every bill presented shall state on what road the work waa dona and money expended.

The executors claimed that the courts had In January, I8S6, Issued an order restraining the city from collect ing city taxes on the property In question, but that they had been paid for tha yeara named owing "to the Inadvertence of suc cessive county treasurers and auditors." County Attorney KUlpack. to whom the matter had been referred, re commanded that the requeat be denied Inaamuch as the city authorities claim that tha payment waa voluntary and further that tha con ditions surrounding' tha property have so far changed aa to render It now liable for city taxea.
