their places of business. There
will be something doing at
10:30, auction sale at 2:30, air-
plane maneuvers and para-

If the weather is bad natu-

to do it. The money has been
raised for this purpose and a
contract made with a first-

October 31st, 1925.
To the Commissioners' Court
of Freestont County,.
Fairfield, Texas.
Sirs:
I wish to direct the attention
of the Court to the following
matters, relative to the County
finances:
The Court will remember
that a book styled “County
Clerk’s Minutes of Accounts
Approved and Allowed” was
procured by the Court a short
while ago for the use of the
County Clerk. I am advised by
the County Clerk that the
County Auditor has not decid-
ed whether or not he will have
the County Clerk keep this
book as a record of the County
Clerk’s office. The purpose of
this book is to show the ac-
counts allowed by the Commis-
sioner’s Court against County
monies.
I also observe that all origi-
nal claims and bills filed
ggainst Freestone County, are
filed as well as approved, by
the County Auditor; and that
said original claims and bills
are kept in the office of the
County Auditor, and that non^
of said claims bear the file
mark of the County Clerk, whs
is by law, the clerk of the Com-
missioners' Court,
Article 2345 of the Revised

__ ..occupied by the Fairfield Re-
Statutes of Texas, 1928, reads corder office
as follows; The County Clerk
shall be ex-officio clerk of the
Commissioners’ Court; and he
shall attend upon each term of
the Commissioners’ Court; pre-
serve and keep all books, pa-
pers, records and effects be-

Artcle 1940 R. S. of Texas,
1925, says: “Clerk of the Com-
missioners’ Court.—They shall
be ex-officio clerks of the Com-
missioners’ Court.
I respectfully suggest to the
Court, that the County Clerk,
who is by law the Clerk of the
Commissioners’ Court, be ad-
vised to keep and file all orig-
inal claims and bills against
the County, in his office as
the law directs.
The County Auditor’s Law of
Texas provides in ,Article 1660,
R. S. 1925: All claims, bills
and accounts against the Coun-
ty must be filed in ample time
for the Aulitor to examine and
approve same before the meet-
ings of the Commissioners’
Court. No claim, bill or ac-
count shall be allowed or paid
until it has been examined and
approved by the County Audi-
tor. The Auditor shall examine
the same and stamp his approv-
al thereon. If he deems it ne-
cessary, all such accounts, bills
or claims must be verified by
affiavits touching the correct-
ness of same. The Auditor is
hereby authorized to adminis-
ter oaths for the purpose of
this law.
You will observe that the
above statute does not give the
County Auditor authority to
file a claim or to present a
claim to the Commissioners’
Court, or to retail* the original
claim in his office or to act as
of the Commissioners'
in
District Clerk J. H. Harding
