This mount does not include any OF
the regular collections Of the past
year, but consists wholly Of state taxes
and penalty and interest collected for
1891 and prior ears and enormously
diverted to other funds, by far the
greater portion being for penalty and
interest collected on delinquent taxes.
The amount found due has already in
nearly every instance been paid in.
The settlements have been satisfactory
in nearly every case both to the state
and to the counties.
In addition to the foregoing an ad-
justment was made Of the taxes still
delinquent upon the books which will
be taken by the State Auditor and
Treasurer as a basis for opening new
accounts. In addition to the money
gained by the state as stated, the ad-
iustment and reconciling of the state
and county books has been worth far
than the cost.
