Leaving amount iu treasury iu excess of warrants drawn $ 3,027 91 The Board will notice that the amount remaining in the treasury is divided into small claims, ninny of them less than one dollar and few reaching to ten dollars. A? these .several amounts belong mo>tiy to nonresidents a considerable portion of it, no doubt, will bo forfeited to the county fund under the two years clause of the law authoiixiag tbe refunding ; so that there is now no probable loss to accrue to the people of the county on account of this money passing through their treasury. Thus far no valid claim has been presented that has not rcafched the tr easury. Incases where there have been claimS for greater amounts than was charged upon the duplicate, of which class there have been several, the ruling of this office has been uniformly to refund only the amount charged upon the record, even when the claim was based upon the treasurer's receipt. The grounds tor such ruling will be readily understood by persons acquainted with the principles of law governing such payments. , Respectfully submitted. „ Rensselaer, Indiana, June sth, 1874.
