"Athens Ohio June 20th 1887
To the President and Trustees of the Ohio University
Gentlemen,
I herewith submit my report as Auditor for
the year last past.
The expenditures for all purposes amount
to the sum of $15,082.74.
A detailed statement of these expenditures will be
found in the vouchers accompanying this report, and the
order book.
I recommend that all expenditures be
authorized by the Executive Committee, so far as not
authorized by the Board, and that all vouchers for the
expenditure of money be approved by a majority of
that Committee before an order is drawn by the Auditor,
and that parties entitled to such orders sign the order
book, and in case they reside at a distance, hat
orders be sent to them for indorsement and collection.
If this system is adopted it will place full and complete
evidence of the payment of every claim within this office
The University in this way through the banks and
important Commercial Centers would receive a
large amount of advertising, that it cannot obtain
on another way, and at the same time relieve the
President of the University of a large amount
of time now devoted to sending off claims to parties.

Yours Respectfully
LM. Jewett
Auditor of the Ohio University
