REPORT OF JUAB COUNTY AUDIT Mileage Paid Is Too High According To Auditors Surplus At Close of Year Sufficient Without Tax Levy. 1 The following report of the Juab County audit is taken from the Salt Lake Tribune of Wednesday. A number of unusual conditions in connection with the financing and the records of Juab county are disclosed in a report of an aud.t made company of by the Gddard-Abbe- v this city. Copy of the report ha3 been filed with John E. Holden, state auditor. It discloses, among other things that the general fund operating balance as of June 30, last was nearly $42,000. You could have omitted to make any tax levy for 1925 for say the auditors, county purposes, "and still have been practically, if not altogether, on a cash basis at the end of 1926. When we say on a cash bass we mean with your 1926 tax moneys unexpended at the end of the year and available for the payment of 1927 expendtures. Total deposits as of June 30th amounted to $192,050, plus. Depository bonds were only $97,500. It was found that a bond of $75,00 had been cancelled by mistake but the comment is matte that both county treasurer and county auditor should see d that all county funds are kept by depository bonds. Several items in the records of Deputy Sheriff Christison the auditors could not follow into the county funds. A list was left with the auditor. The auditors devoted a considerable part of the report to a consideration of interest on deposits. Items reported two years ago remain unpaid by the banks, it is reported. Morover, funds that were drawing 4 2 per cent interest are now drawing only 2 per cent. The comment may be summed up In this quotation: It appears that the county has had more than $100 000 on constant deposit since November, 1923, at 2 per cent interest. Without doubt a higher rate than this can be procured on a time deposit even though public funds must be protected by depository bonds furnished by the banks. The deposit was with the First National Bank of Nephi. As the law stands, say the auditors, the treasurer would appear to have no option but to require the payment of interest of at least 2 per cent on all deposits, and It would appear that the county auditor is not justified In approving such receipts, except as figured in accordance with the law thereon. All other counties, cities nd school districts that we have audited are receiving interest on daily deposits figured on the basis that we have used in computing the interest due you. This now amount3 to more than $800, even on a 2 per cent rate. "The auditors believe the mileagt allowed of 1 2 to 1 5 cents la excessive The importance of having an inventory of all public property is stressed, especially when, through change in administration, there is to be a transfer of property. cov-ert- DEMOCRATIC TICKET IS NOMINATED IS NOMINATED The Republican city conventon was held Friday evening at the County Courtuouse.

The ensemble singing was thrilling and their work throughout was of the highest order. The intonation and phrasing were remarkable. No straining after effect, but everything so natural and spontaneous. The conductor must have worked hard to Prof. attain such splendid results. Gethtn Davis.- Is an expert accompanist, bnt as a solo player he did not oppear to such good advantage. The work of the individual soloists was nearly perfect and many encores were called for to which response was made. Such a body of singers are entitled to success which we have no reason to doubt that they will attnin during their itinery.
