To the Honorable Board of Supervis ors of Holt county, Nebraska: Gentlemen: In compliance with the contract entered into January 25, 1907,1 have made a complete examin ation of all the records of your county treasury from January 4,1895, to Jan uary 8,1907, (both inclusive) and sub mit herewith a report of my findings in the same.
