Report Balance Due From ex'
Sheriff
Records Are not Examined
Up TO July 7

Experts Clark and Buchanan have
filed with the county court their final
report on the condition of the records
OF the Marion county officers, which
have been examined up to July 7th,
last, the date upon which the newly
elected officers took their offices.
The report shows a balance due the
county Of S177O1 from ex-Sheriff Dur
bin on account of the tax rolls Gov
ering the years 1895 to 1901, inclusive.
The amounts claimed to be due on the
different rolls are given as follows:

Balance due county .$177O1
The statement shows that the ac
counts of ex-County Recorder J. II
Roland are not only correct, as be
tween himself and the county, but he
has a balance to his credit for the last
six months of his term OF 1915.
The experts made the following
statements in connection with the sta
tistical part Of their report.
I'm completion of our contract made
with your honorable court in the
month of October last, we file here
with statements showing the result OF
our examination of the county trans
actions occurring between January LIST
and July 7, 1902, and we are pleased
to attest to notable improvements in
the handling Of county affairs through.
out the different departments since
our last report.
with the exceptions as shown by
our statements the funds of the coun.
ty have been accounted for, though we
must again call your attention TO the
tardy tax settlements of the sheriff
The law requiring weekly payments to
the treasurer on the tax account is a
most excellent one and should be
strictly followed.
The fees collected by the sheriff in
civil cases are as yet unaccounted for.
Those fees are retained under the con.
tention that they belong to the sheriff
by virtue OF a special act OF the legls.

general act, passed subsequent there.

of the county. The amount involved
Is a considerable one, and II is a duty
to the taxpayers that the matter be
definitely settled by the proper trl.
bunal.
'As per your instructions we have
Installed In the various Offices a more
modern method OF accounting and are
confident that the advantages to he
derived therefrom will be found TO be
manifold-as a safeguard and economy

as sure guide TO accuracy. In com.
pillng the resources OF the county II
VIII be noticed that we have omitted
the tax accounts prior to 1892. We
nave done so for the reason that they
are not In the hands OF the sheriff for
collection. and are not accessible Us.
Ing the experience OF other counties
as criterion, an energetic revival OF
them would be largely profitable. and
We recommend that II be done.
In the matter OF taxes purchased
Dy the county--the county acts therein

the first one OF them about the middle
OF October. from which time tlll the

stayed sold.
There were several other parties

did they fail 10 wholly satisfy. This
is a remarkable showing. considering
the fact that there is such a strong
prejudice In tho valley here against

the former plows shown here have
