The auditor is the man who manages the state land de- partment.-Most of the auditing is done by the.public examiner who was un- 1l -»ecently the superintendent of banks. The auditor :audite his own transactions :amounting to three or four .millon ‘dollars & year. He does not, however, ‘audit the accounts of the Institutions. The board of con- trol -audite those. The auditor au- dita the board of control, not what they -spend on the ‘institutions but ‘what they spend on themselves.
