Report of State Accountants -Completely Vindicates Position of Chronicle Last Campaign- Butter Money Turned In Was Violated by Com missioners. The report of the State Account ants William A. Hammond and Leon ard on the Marshall count farm is now public and may be see at the county auditor's offiie. I completely vindicates the statement made by the Chronicle in the las campaign, and even goes farther ii exposing the unlawful conduct of tha institution The report and investigation compelled the accounting for the of $445.60 of iream and butter sine the year 1905. It ha's brought abou a radical change in the conduct the farm, requiring among othe things that the superintendent repor to the board of commissioners al sales of products and that all thes transactions be entered orf the com missioners record, which had neve been done before.

Where Law Was Violated. Among other things the repor says We 'find that at various times reported the proceeds derived fror the sale of stock and other article from the farm turned the mone into the county treasury and receive a quietus from the auditor for th amounts so turned in. The only re cord we find in the auditor's an 'treasurer's offices of the amounts reported are on the stubs of th 'treasurer's receipts and the stubs i "the auditor's quietus book. We hav 'here after set out in detail th amounts reported as received froij -sale of products as is shown the stubs for the treasurer's receipt and the stubs for the auditor i quietus. rAll' transactions regarding th sale of products should be reporte to the commissioners in open cour and the same with the names of pur chasers description, and quality xariicies soia, oaie oi saie ana pne received should be 'entered on the com missioners' record.

We recommen that the statute be more closel adhered to in respect to the transac tions regarding the sale of products Careless Custom Followed In regard to the relations betwee "Mr. Kruyer and the commissioner the report says: "We find that it has been the cus torn of the board of commissioners give oral instructions to the superin tendent concerning the purchase implements and different article "needed in the management of th asylum.and then fail to make a re cord of the instructions on the Com missioner's' Record. We recommen that the Board of Commissioners en ter record of all instructions an 'orders to lshe superintendent, authoriz in? the purchase of implements machinery, and articles necessary fo carrying on the work at the count farm or for the making of any re pairs or any extensive improvements and also any other orders concernin' the management of the farm, such a stock services, renting of pasture, etc Accounted for Butter and Cream It will be remembered that in th last campaign the Chronicle charge that butter had been sold from th county farm and never been account ants sets out a very interesting state ment on this matter which will read with interest. It is as follows: "We present herewith copy of th superintendent 's report concernin the sales of butter and cream, froi 1905 to date, and not heretofore in eluded in any reports on file, bu which sales were authorized by th county commissioner but were not en tered of record: Before vear 1905 sold no butter.
