TOTAL ASSETS OR STATE ARE FIFTY: MILLION Distribution Is Shown in Au-|p! dit of the State Treas- urer’s Office Total assets of the state of North Dakota wre $50,809,844.98, the audit of the state treasurer’s office by O. B, Lund, auditor. and, accountant, shows. td an OL this sum _§$12,380,613.40 are bonds credited to the accounts of varibus state funds, most of them funds credited to the. accounts of various state institutions since the money invested was realized from bs sale of lands apportioned to em. additional $6,846,500 is in farm loans credited to the. ‘accounts o! various institutions and $22,288,391.- 51 are in state real estate loans. In addition to these items the statement shows $413,783.52 in in3urance and trust company deposits and $830 in registered warrants and receive certi be- longi to the general fund. “ At the close of business on Decem- ber 31 the treasurer had $7,035,551.- 77 in cash on hand of which $4,970,- 128.29 was in the bank of North Da- kota subject to check; $1,614,272.39 in certificates of deposit; $70.57 in uncollectible items; $3,387.49 in cer-, tificates of deposit received from school districts; $110,744.17 in bond interest paid pending ‘auditor's war- rants; $336,958.71 in state auditor's drafts in process of collection and 15 cents in interest’ on hail warrants. Aguinst this was charged $288,097.- 45 in farm loan remittances not yet receipted for by the treasurer, mak- ing the balance actually available $67547,454.32. All’ Funds Accounted For In a foreword to’the report Lund said: “All cash funds coming into the department were found to be properly deposited with the Bank of North Dakota to the account of the state treasurer, We added) all re- ceipts issued by him and we com- pared the expenditures with ‘the re- cords of the state auditor’s office, and all cash funds coming into his hands were found ‘to be properly ac- counted for. “We call special. attention to cer- tificates of deposit amounting to $7,000 carried in the general ledger fund’s cash, and $10,360 belonging to the teachers insurance and retire- ment: fund, issued by various state banks during the year 1920, that ate still carried in these funds. The certificates are all over four years past due, without showing interest or principal payments. It would seem that at this date the banks have had ample time to take up their obligations and we believe some ef- toe should be made to collect on em.” ates not receipted for, In a separate statement_issued at{ P: the treasurer's office it was explain- ed that efforts to obtain money on these certificates had been fruitless and the only method left to the treasurer would be to» bring ° suit. John Steeft, who preceded C, A. Fish- er as treasurer, also tried to collect them but failed, it was si The hanks which issued the certificates have apparently been in hard straits and have simply refused to pay, it was explained. Changes In Systems Urged © Continuing the report Lund. sa “The investments in bonds and loa belonging to the permanent University and School lands endow- ment funds were checked and totals compared with the records of the state land depa?tment. Wes foind considerable difficulty in identifying + the state treasurer's receipts + with collections to these accounts, owing to lack of information placed on the receipts, and believe more attention should be given to the issuance of same, giving information in a man- ner that will show convenient refe ence to items or funds affected. “A large number of farm loans be- longing to the school funds have been foreclosed, requiring payment of taxes and foreclosure costs from the permanent funds, No attempt was made by us to show these expen- ditures against the Ivan: “The system of recording the in- vestments of the board of university and school lands and handling same between the land department and state treusurer was formulated to fit the needs when the volume was only a small percentage of what it is today. 1 believe changes might be made in their systems that would give more accurate information and facilitate the auditing of same with- out increasing the work required to properly keep the wecounts ainder the methods now in use.” Revocation of Flasher Doctor’ Revocation of the medical surgical license of Dr, W. .
