outstanding, while the record shows that there were $33,000 outstanding. A large num- ber of warrants are described as to number and amount on page 1 and 2 of this record, but are put down entirely without reference to the bonds for which they were exchanged, so that ( 32 ) it is impossible to tell what particular warrants were taken up and cancelled on account of the issue of any particular bond. It was ascertained, however, that the total amount of the warrants and bonds described as having been taken up and cancelled, is many thousand dollars less than the amount of bonds issued in their stead, although many warrants appear on this record for larger amounts than were issued, as shown by the commissioner’s record and the warrant stubs; some appear twice for the same amount, other appear for different amounts, and one appears three times in the aggregate to $447.92 ; this warrant is numbered 447 ; the warrant stub shows that it was issued for $19.00. The official record of the Commissioners’ proceedings makes no mention of its allowance. This liability grew from nothing in the commis- sioner’s book to $19 in the warrant book and made its final appearance in triplicate as an off- set to $447.92 of bonded indebtedness of Grant County.
