Abstract
The purpose of this study is to make a critical survey of the organization and system of accounts used in Lane County and to offer a constructive criticism thereof. The system of accounts now in use in Lane County appears to be inadequate to serve the needs of the public. It fails to provide information which the public has a right to demand, and it fails to give a true condition of county finances. There has been some awakening in public conscience to this condition of affairs. Taxpayers, who once were content to passively pay their assessments, mildly complain that they were too high, and blindly hope that next year they would be lower, have begun to realize that they are entitled to know where their money goes and to be assured that municipal business is conducted properly and honestly. At the 1929 session of the Legislature of the State of Oregon, House Bill No.238, an excerpt from which follows, was passed and became a part of the General Laws of Oregon on June 4, 1929.
