.DONAHOE WAS
NOT BONDED
Collected Thousands of Dol
lars Without Giving
County Security
STILL HAS $4,000 OF ADAMS TAX
Ex-tax Collector Resigned on Being
Elected 10 Legislature and Did Not
Furnish Bond When Reappointed
County Is Responsible

How to get John p. Donahoe To pay
over the Adams tax collected by him
several years ago, is becominga serious
question, and one which is worry ng
members of the Levy Court. As the
matter now stands the Levy Court has
NO redress whatever. except to take the
matter into the courts. and there run
the risk of losing the case. and also the
money which Mr.. DonahOe collected.
Mr. Donahoe has about $1,000 OF the
IcOuntys money collected by him as
Adams tax. although he is not bonded
for oen cent and the Levy Court has
no security whatever to protect the
county.
The present court has been making
special efforts for the past year to get
Mr.. lDOnahCe to make a settlement but
so far has not been successful. The
court has been trying to keep out of a
| litigation, if IL was possible, to get the
money any other way. The ex-tax col
lectOr repeatedly says that he will set
tie, but as he has made no move to do
so, it would not be surprising If the
courts would have to settle the question
yet. While the present court cannot
bt Itlu lNoHonclblt ANl' tiAt nii1llrl rltt4Nt
of former court. it realizes that the
money belongs to the county, and will
make a fight for it.
Mr.. Donahoe was tax collector when
elected to the Legislature in iS9S. and
resigned to go TO the General Assem-
lbly He was bonded at that time. and
when he resigned his bond OF S20,00u
was cancelled.
After the Legislature adjourned Mr.
lDonai oe was reappointed tax collector
I'-his time he did not furnish a bond
as is required, although he collected
thousands of dollars of the county'I
money 1t is estimated that he prob
ably turned over $1,000 to The Levy
corrt, and still has $1,000. which th'
court wants.
Levy Courtman Chandler. when ask
ed this morning, acknowledged tha
! Mr. Dir'--- was not bonded. Mr. Chan
ldler would not discuss the subject an!
more than to state that the Levy Cour
did not wish TO go into a litigation if j
could get the money without that eX
treme.
Lewis Dickey. who also collected thu
Adams tax. still owes the county abou
$500 Mr. Dickey is bonded Shoul'
the money not be turned over. the tax
payers o fthe county would be respOnsi
ible for il.
