Amount due from the county of Paulding to the county of Williams for her proportion of expenses, in locating said road, Amount due from Putnam county for some purpose, 3 es do codo de Commissioners’ expenses, The Law authorizing the Road, requires the Commissioners to make full settlement, and exhibit of receipts and expenditures in the month of January of each year. ‘To comply with the strict letter of the Law, in that particular, would be impossible, for the reason that set tlements cannot be had with the different county officers until after the annual settlement of the county Treasures with the county Auditors, which is not in eeneral com pleted until the last of January in each year; and there being four counties embraced in the line of the road, so that settlements cannot in general be obtained until after the return of the different county Treasuers from Columbus. Much blame has been attached to the Commissioners in this particular, by ignorant, dishonest and designing knaves, who have never been known to utter the trut), when falsehood and misrepresentation could be sub stituted. The fund has been managed with the most rigid economy; and whenever con tracts could be let to advantage the Commiissioners have always embraced the opportunity. The fund will be considerably increased for his year, A. D., 1644; and as soon as settle ments can be obtained, a full statement of the recepts and expenditures for the year afore said will be published, which can no doubt be effected bn the 20th February next.
