ComnfroIier staats.

1t seems fortunate that as the
county had to have comptroller un-
Ider the Five Commissioner act that
the choice fell upon such competent
and accommodating gentleman as
John Il. Staats. In conversation with
him yesterday he said 10 a RErUgLIcAN
reporter that he had no records or ac-
counts to be concealed from tho pub.
ltie. 7T@
This monthly report OF yours Is
something like the right way OF doing
business" said the reporter.
Mr.. Staats said he though the public
had right to know what became OF
he money paid for taxes, and they
lcerned.
Referring TO the financial condition
lof the county, Mr.. Staats was asked
what he thought was tho best remedy.
Mr. tssald he ethought nothing less
than special session OF the Leglsla.
lture would enable the county to meet
Its obligations. 81 see no other course
out OF the muddle. l do think that
the old tax collectors should be por-
mitted or rather compelled to collect
the S6l, 200 Of outstanding taxes.
This would iiquidGte large portion
Of the eounty's Indebtedness and by
Itile lliHe lHe 1911 ttiNeSH are cOllecteu the
county would be in such financial
condition as to arouse no fear. II the
collectors were compelled to collect
the taxes in arrears their bondsmen or
isureties would be duty bound to see
that they completed their work sue
leessfully. The collectors owe the
county &6l, Geo. and the helndebtedness lS
somewhere in the neighborhood of
s5S GOO. Take this from the amount
owed by the collectors and there re-
mains $1,000 for current expenses. or
course this amount would only pay
portion of the Indebtedness, but with
this years taxes, which will be coming
In shortly, the county mightg get along
until other provisions are made for the
county to raise funds.
There are SD, 0C0 worth of warrants
outstanding against the county. Some
of the warrants are filled out and
some have been cashed by individuals.
Tho other ones are held by persons
who are able to walt and sne what the
future will bring forth. There Is in
bank TO the credit of tho county sl5I-
,03, but this amount will only cover
one or two warrants for labor
The reporter compllmented Mr..
lStaats for the stand he had taken.
