Parrott, ex­ aminer from the State Bureau *of Ac­ counting, completed his work of inves­ tigating tiie county offices and check* ing up'the finances o f each office. It will be remembered that Mr, Par­ rott was respo ible for turning i p irregularities against Surveyor Faw­ cett, who was charged with padding his account. When confronted With the charge Mr. Fawcett made a pay­ ment of something like $1,200 into the county treasury and resigned at the request o f the commissioners. . Mr, Parrott also had a finding of $53 against Sheriff F. A. Jackson, for board for soldiers taken up for dis* orderly at Wilberforce. He held the government should have paid this bill and not the county. The charge was technical as no court or jury would deny Mr, Jackson his regular legal fee for boarding prisoners. Another finding was against James Fletcher and Roy Hayward, chief and clerk o f the Board o f flections, as an expense account for going to a Southern Camp to take the soldier votes as ordered by the secretary of state. Before this bill was allowed the matter was^passed upon by the state authorities who sanctioned it. Mr, Parrott in bis report charged these officials with the so-called illegal pay­ ment. County Auditor Faulkner, who yet has the first examiner-to question his accounts' and who has guarded illegal, payments from any source where'.thdre was a question o f rdoubt kept a -daily ,account of the hours the examiner put in. * The day and time olJhis arrival and the time and train for his deparutre. The rules of the state department are'Ca file with the auditor and M*. Faulkner endeavored to see that the county*rqceived full value of the ex­ aminees'time, which was costing the county at the. rate o f $10 a day. When Mr . Parrott completed his work and returned his . bill is was checked by Mr. Faulkner who discov­ ered that the county was charged with 32 days, or $320, more than could be acconnted for. The bill was not paid and the commissioners or­ dered the matter taken up with State Auditor Donnehy, When Mr. Faulkner presented the matter to the state official a charge was filed against'Mr. Parrott and last Tuesday set for the hearing, Mr. Par­ rott was-not there a t the hour appoin­ ted -but arrived in Columbua late that dby .Cbun ty officials’’are.' Waiting to see what action will be taken. Mr; Faulkner will not. pay the bill o f $1330.50 until the $320 is deducted. Mr. Donnehy : complimented MW Faulkner on guarding the county's in­ terests and stated that he would send out a1blank to every county auditor iu the state for them to check the time the examiners were at work. In this way all acounts must correspond. Mr. Faulkner leaves his office the last ojf October after serving the county for four years as auditor, the county looses a valued and trusted Official, one who has deservedly earn­ ed the reputation as not only the best but-the most competent and accomo­ dating official in that capacity in the history of the county.
