Sy
county for the year 1880 has been turned
over to the Auditor. The total amount
OF taxes levied this year Was $685.
223 ll2.. OF this suu $l0.7 4s sly
are delinquent.
The Nrws expressed the opinion that
when Treasurer Kirmsu appointed n.
j. McCutchan his deputy and set him to
collecting taxes for the county. the
business Of the Office would bs run
straight. The result shows that such
has been the case. While collecting
taxes. apportionnsnts were made &C.
oording to Law and the requisite state
msnts filed with the Auditor. Mr..
McCutchsn has insisted that the money
in the oounty's possession when Mr..
Kirman was appointed Treasurer and
which amounted to $50. 788 48. and
which vas turned over to the Treasurer
by the County Commissioner. was not 70.
ceivsd through any OF the regular sources
Of revenue Of the county and thatjt was
not his business to ~spportion the amount
among the different funds OF the Treas
ury. In other words. be has refused to
designate which, IL any. Of the funds OF
the Treasury we're at that time short OF
the amounts which should have been in
them, or to say how much Was In say Of
the funds. This hs insisted should be
done by the Commissioners or some o
acting for them. He has commended oil
along that Mr.. Kirmsn was not the sue
cessor Of Mr.. Carrick or any other man;
bot that the County Commissioners who
had taken possession OF tho Office &C
cordiug to Law and had handed It over to
the newly appointed Treasurer. should,
IL any one. specify the amount Of money
In each Of the county funds. He GER
tsiply had ne right to do so. since the
money bad been reoeiptsd for In bulk
and taken In trust for Storey county.
II is o expected by the Commits
siouers that the bondsmen Of Mr.. Car
rick will. before the LIST Of January.
make good his defalcstions. In that
case each Of the funds will be restored
to its original condition and oil compli-
cations avoided; but until that 10 done
the present Treasurer. who has opened .
new set OF books. does not feel IL incum.
bent on him to NEEDLE with the matter
at all.
Mr.. McCutehan has also asked the
County Commissioners to take Of the
money turned over to the Treasurer such
an mount Al would make good the
taxes collected by Mr.. Csrrick on the
assessment roll OF 1880. and turn 1t over
as such to the Treasurer. as such Q step
would avoid all complications in regard
to the collection OF taxes for the year
1880. and would assist him materially
in settling with the Auditor and With
the State. This was not done. In turn.
ing over the assessment roll to the An.
ditor. Mr.. McCutchan therefore attached
to it the following:
