The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1902-07-18
MIR. WEIGH IS FIRM.
Says There Was No Error in His
Report.

Report.
County Auditor WEIGH maintains that
his report showing a deficit of $11535 on
the Shawnee county levy. is correct, and
that he Is not certain that the fees col
lected by the county officers should be
deficit.
Auditor Welch said today:
was a deficit of sif, 5ss Between the levy
for general purposes and the actual ex-
penditures. This is true. AS a matter
sources other than taxes, amounting to
about $4,000 annually, are added to the
levy and the deficiency is made up in
this way. To report, this deficiency be-
tween the levy and the expenditures as a
deficit is only carrying out a custom es-
tablished for years.
1T is an open question whether the
clerk and commissioners have any au-
thOrity to issue warrants in excess of the
actual levy. In the annual report of my
predecessor, Captain Hamilton, he states
that it is a clear and affirmative VIOLA
to issue warrants in excess of the levy.
However, in this drawing the receipts
of the county for the payment of general
expenses in excess of the levy, the COM
missioners have been following a custom
long established in this and other coun-
ties of the state.
This deficit between the levy and ex-

above former seasons.
