PROBE AUDITORS OFFICE.
Senate Investigating Committee Delves
Into the Affairs Of State Auditor
Gullbert.

Columbus. O.--March Estate
Treasurer McKinnon was given the
blame for the mismanagement of his
own office by State Auditor Guilbert
when the senate special committee
started probing his office Tuesday.
Guilbert received the committee
with open arms as compared to the re.
ception given 1t by McKlnnon.
The first thing the committee turned
up in Guilberts office was that the
journal of the proceedings of the state
board of tax remission, composed of
Guilbert, Gov. Harris and Attorney
General Ellis, was two years behind.
Although ~ cases have been disposed
m since November. 1905, none have
been recorded. Guilbert explained
TINT the stenographer had not had
lime to enter in the minutes, although
he had dictated them to her and they
had preserved the correspondence and
other records.
Expert Accountant Lotlman, who
has been working on the books in Gull
berts Office for several days, reported
that the board of tax remission had
made among others the following large
reductions in valuations from corpora
tions: Northern Ohio Traction Co In
1905. $4,000; Lake Shore Electric,
$3G, 122 in 1907. These reductions,
Guilbert said. were made by the board
of equalization, which had to put them
on TO some other companies.
The various taxation boards, Gull
bert said, believe that information
given them by various corporations in
their reports for taxation is not cor.
rect. At present there are two in
vestigators out, one in Philadelphia.
