LAxsIxG, Feb. 27.-Auditer General
Stone today sends lengthy communi-
cation 70 the Free Press with reference
to the unsatisfaktory working Of the
new mortgage tax law. He Gays that
the Law went into effect on October l,
and the frst quarter expired Decsmber

Law he prescribed . blank for the treas
nyers Of the several counties 70 make
their report upon. Thess we're sent out
and only twenty-eight returns have
boon received from the eighty-four
counties, and not one Of thess has been
found correct. Among the deiinquents
are Wayne, Jackson. Kent, Bay. Mus
keEon. Kalamazoo, Ingham, Sc. Clair,
Genesec, Clinton. Ottawa. Ailegan.

would naturally be supposed TO be

Extrscta are gwen from letters received
from county treasurers showing the

change of systcns 10 creating. The tact
is that the system of keeping the ac-
counts in the auditor generals depart
ment has been 90 satisfactory and SO
accurate, that the counties have relied
upon it's statement as basis for all
tax accounts. The auditor general
has been charged, he says, in many
cases OF obstructing the operation of
the law by prescrlbing complicated
blank, but he says it is the same blank
that has heretofore been in use in the
department except the balances are re-
Quired To be lteiilized instead of in
gross. He is of this opinion that it will
be impossible, in view of the frequent
changes in the Office of the county
treasurer to have the county system"
