LOUISVILLE, Ky, Dec. 1O.-For ten days
the mayor and other city authorities have
been Investigating the conduct of the
financial Office of the city. The result is
that discovery has been made of an al
legged robbery of an amount not less than
100000 in the year 1879. The deficiency.
it is said, occurred in the Office of the tax
collector in connection with some in the
city assessors Office. The investigation
being conducted privately, the press had
no opportunity to learn all the results. 1t is
alleged that thousands of dollars have been
collected and returns made to the book
keeper of the city as hundreds. It is still
further alleged that tax bills amounting to
$4,000 were duplicated by forgery and
turned into the collectors Office as part of
the assets. The officers implicated deny
all the charges, and claim to be able to set
themselves right. The committee will con-
t'nue the work tomorrow, and will inspect
the books from 1874 to date. 1t is rumored
that the defalcations will reach 100000.
but member of the committee saws he
does not think it will go beyond 100000.
The officers implicated are David Fergu-
son, former tax collector, now
collector of back taxes, and Captain
Geo. W. Levi, formerly deputy assessor,
now assistant chief of the fire department..
The entries on the assessors books, out of
which the wrong came, are in Lewis hand
writing, but he claims to have made no
entries save by order of the supervisors.
Dr. Krack, city assessor, will employ an OK
pert to examine the books of his Office. to
lind who is in default. The affair causes
much excitement in view of the good stand
ing of the parties, and also because of the
meager details which have leaked out to-
day.
