ERROR MADE IN
AUDITORS REPORT

An error found in the annual report Of
City Auditor c. s. Rice for the year
ending June 30. shows that the city faced
a deficit Of si7.6s2.e7 instead Of having sar
plus OF sss,771.73, which Auditor Riee's re-
port indicates.
The error was made in computing tie
tax on real estate owned by colored per-
sons. the total value Of which is given IN
the books at S57il6O. Instead of working
out the levy on the established rate Of l
per cent colored persons not being
charged with school tax for that year 1t
was worked out on a basis OF 10 per cent.
showing a tax yield from this assessment
of S57, l16. instead Of S5,7l1.6o which II
should have been. making s5i,4oi4o too
much.
The report as a result Of the erroneous
calculation showed that the revenue from
taxation and miscellaneous sources
amounted to 500. .o75.O9. whereas the cor
rect amount was S7lo. .s7069.
Auditor Rice explained that the error
was confined only tc the figures and
caused no financial loss to the city.
