HICKMAN FULTON COUNTY THURSDAY MAY co. 1909
Auditor After Sheriffs.

Investigation Of the accounts OF
every Sheriff in Kentucky for the
last fifteen years has been begun by
Frank P. James, State Auditor, and
he expects to collect considerable
money from those officials who have
been delinquent in that they have
not turned into the State treasury
all that the State should have re-
ceived The State can keep easy
trace Of the amount due on taxes by
each Sheriff, but there are said to
be many other ways by which the
Sheriffs can defraud the State, and
the Auditor is going after these.
He is also going after those who
owe the State but who we're not gull
ty Of anything more than careless
ness.
Mr.. James said that one way the
Sheriffs could defrsud the State was
by getting the Fiscal court TO grant
generators for money that had not
been collected and then make the
collection. For instance, a Sheriff
reports to the Fiscal court that he
failed to collect 81 900 on poll tax.
He is exonerated on this item, but
later some Of the men Of the county
pay their poll taxes ct the Sheriff
collects many. That money should
go to the State, but 10 some instances
which have been discovered 1t did
not 60 to the State. Omitted prop.
erty, which has been left off the AS
SCISSORS books, is also a source of
fraud on the State. The property
may not be assessed and the Sheriff
may collect taxes without making
any report which would show the
collections having been made.
