NATRONA Top Efficiency Indicated aye all departments is evidenced result 0} the work of the bpa! “The outgoing as well as the present hoatd of commissioners seem to be men of solid business integrity, | who were and ate’ endeavoring to} give the county’a good business ad-| ministration, and the county is very | fortunate in having such men to di-| rect its affairs. At the present time Robert J. Veitch, Jas. B. Griffith and | T. A. Hall compose the board. “It was found that bids for the construction of the Casper-Salt | Creek highway as received by the state highway department exceeded | the funds available, so the board re-, solved to reduce the length of the road to approximately 38 miles and agreed that the bridges were not to be constructed as a part of the pro- ject and pledged the county to pro- vide additional funds within four years to complete the entire project as submitted to the secretary of ag- riculture. “During 1918, there was $123,395 spent on the roads of the county. This includes $36,990 donated by the Midwest Refining company ac- cording to its 1917 agreement. This company has this year, paid into the county treasury $2,356 to apply on the work, “The commissioners have set aside $58,300 for 1919 road work. The general county levy for 1918 was 4.14 mills on a $27,826,767.33. valu- | ation resulting in a revenye of $102,959.04. On January 1 the out- standing warrants (certificates of in- debtednegs) amounted to $38,958. | These were practically all taken up! at the time of pur examination. “Natrona county has been expe-} riencing some trouble with the as- sessments during the past years, a number of duplications and omis- sions occurring each year. In a business like manner the new com- | missioners set aside the old hit or miss system and have employed an expert to install a more adequate | system of records in the assessor's | office, which they hope wil] eliminate | all future difficulties.” | The wonderfyl, growth’ of the county ‘elerk’s of ‘as awidenced by the report made up by the examiners. indicates that Natrona county is in a class by itself when it comes to} handling county records. During} the period elapsing between May 1, 1918 and March 1, 1919, the office | earned $8,208.03 in recording fees. ; The system of the office as de- | veloped and kept by Miss Ogburn ; brot forth much praise from the ex- | aminers. Their statements in part | follow: “No errors were found during the | examination of the county clerk’s | records, which shows Miss Ogburn to | be one of the most efficient clerks that we have in the entire state.” A check of the records kept by Hugh L. Patton, former sheriff, | showed that the office earned a sum | of $760.80, revenue from livestock inspection fees, show licenses and fines, The amount was fully cov- ered in reports submitted to the treasurer. The detail of the office | management ‘under Mr. Patton re- | ceived high commendation. In summarizing the condition of | the office of the clerk of the district | court in which Miss Hazel Conwell | is incumbent, the following report was submitted: | “The large volume of business in| Natrona county at the present time is seen when we note that this re- port, covering eleven months, shows earnings in more than 360 civil | cases. During the same time a large number of ¢rintinal cases occupied the attention of the court while the probate business is on the _in- crease.
