The proposition of Flenor & Hunter, of Indianapolis, “to examine the books, vouchers and settlements in the various offices of the county, and ascertain whether or not there is any money due the county from state, or any other source, on account of any errors or omissions in settlements, and in the event we find anything due the county, we will collect the same without cost to the county, save our charges, and pay the same into the County Treasury, and for our services we will charge you a sum equal to one half of all we collect for the county, payment to be made to us as fast as collections are made by us and paid into the County Treasury. But, be it understood, that this proposition does not include the examination of individual accounts of the officers of the county, nor ex-officials of the county, with a view of ascertaining whether or not there is anything due from them to the county, nor of sequestered taxes.” The Board accepted this proposition.
