These entries pro and con will bring the sub-district accounts in balance with the “General Ledger” accounts, when these shall have been corrected according to the figures and data sub mitted herewith. While, as stated, the cash accounts have been fairly well kept, the sub-ac counts prior to January, 1906, have rot fared so well. At the close of the term ending January 3, 1900, an un usual condition existed. A credit bal ance of $4,918 80 in the “General Led ger account of the Special Fund” ap pears, while credit balances in the sub funds by which the treasurer would settle with school officials, amount to only $1,905.54. In the district levy fund, as kept in the sub-ledgers for the various districts for the same period, a total of more than $33,000 was shown, while only $30,257 90 was shown to their credit in the “General Ledger” account. The Bond Fund was more than $200 out of balance. All of these ac&.unts have been cor rectly kept for the year ending Janu ary 8, 1907, but the discrepancies as found in the accounts to January 3, 1900, will need to be corrected as per statements attached. As shown by the list of changes to be made, the sum of errors in the cash account of former Treasurer Mullen leaves $3.30 due from him to the county. The sum of $1.18 is due from H. R. Henry. The difference between the charges and the credits in the er rors in the account of D. J. Cronin, as shown in the statement attached, is $4.13 in favor of the treas urer. This however, does not take into account the matter of the “Docket Fees” col lected by Treasurer Cronin, and by him credited to his “Fee Account” insteading of crediting them to the “County General Fund” direct as pro vided by law and custom in other counties. Reference is made in this particular to the last examination by State Examiner E. J. Robinson, and his report of the same including the opinion of the Attorney General on this subject. The attached error sheet shows a total of 05 cents of debit errors, and 2 cents of a credit error during the one year term of R. E. Chittick, ex-treas urer. This leaves a net balance due from Mr. Chittick of 63 cents. With these exceptions, all accounts of this treasurer are found to have been cor rectly kept. With the assistance of your mem bers, practically all of the vouchers upon which the disbursements were made were found. The few exceptions to this were thoroughly looked up and either the District Treasurers’ re ceipts, or a cancelled check for the amount were found. The accounts of this county with the state have been thoroughly gone into, and the levy as made and extend ed for every year has been verified. One of the results already secured is a refund in the sum of $402.62 by state warrant, which is now in your county treasury. I acknowledge efficient as sistance in this connection rendered by Mr. Phillips, your state senator. All tax lists to including 1900 have been gone over, and the uncollectable taxes have by your order been stricken from the lists. This will net the county credits of over $1,000, which will reduce the balance due the state in a like amount. In conclusion: I am indebted to each member of your board for every assistance and courtesy extended. Also, to the various county officials and their assistants whose records I have examined in connection with the work of the county treasury. Respectfully submitted, E. P. HOVEY, Accountant. Educational Notes. About one hundred sixty eightgrade pupils will take the examination next Thursday and Friday. The diploma earned at this examination allows a pupil to enter any high school in the state without having to pay a tuition fee. Another advantage of having a diploma issued by the county superin tendent is that of being in possession of a certificate which will admit the owner to the state junior normal school. At a conference of the junior normal school principals and superintendents of the counties wherein said junior normal schools are located, held at Lincoln April 27, a motion was moved and carried that the minimum en trance requirement for admission to the state junior normal schools shall be a teacher’s certificate, or a certifi cate from the county superintendent that the applicant has completed the eight grade course of study, or a certi ficate from the city superintendent or high school principal for the ad mission to the high school, or the presentation of evidence of other equivalent academic work. June 17, 1907, is the date of the junior normal at O’Neill. Florence Zink, County Superintendent. APPLICATION FOR LIQUOR LICENSE.
