Rumors of Trouble.

For sometime past there have been
various rumors on the streets regard
ing conditions as they exist at the
present time in connection with the
County Court, and the debt which Is
being carried on the recently remod-
eled court house. Authentic state
ments with regard to the mix-up have
been hard to secure, and regardless
of the assurances from members of
the County Court and other officials,
rumors continue to grow.
The above dispatch from Charles
ton can be taken as good evidence
that there is trouble somewhere.
Rumors for some days past have had
it that the Tax Commissioner would
be asked to come here to straighten
out the tangle in which the county's
affairs appear to be. From the visit
of County Clerk Hobbs to the State
Capitol, and his conference with the
State Tax Commissioner, it brings to
light the fact that the county is ow-
ing some $20.000.00
Means of Liquidation.
The further statement in the dis
patch that some means was being
sought by which the debt could be
liquidated, goes further to show that
the court desires to have the matter
Strengthened out.
A further rumor had 1t that the Tax
Commissioner could not come to Berk-
h1f0 ha
above dispatch verifies that rumor,
when il says that he will come here
when the County Court meets in
March and take up the matter. Just
what the condition of affairs Is, ii Is
hard to say with any certainty at this
time.
Sheriff Pays $4,000.
The rumor has it that the present
sheriff took over from the ex-sheriff,
bills and orders for which he paid the
former sheriff, $31 100000. This trans
action. It is further rumored, brought
upon the scene an expert accountant
from the bonding company, who start
ed an investigation of the sheriff's &C
counts. This brought the matter to
the attention Of the County Court,
which in special session, behind
closed doors, went over the accounts
of the court with the sheriff.
Rumor further says that taking into
account all the bills outstanding and
orders passed by the County Court II
was shown that the amount OF these
was $21. 100000. leaving difference be-
tween the amount owed by the coun-
ty and that paid by the present sher-

Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1910-02-19

When the improvement of the couct
house was first planned it was deem
ed advisable not to lay special levy
for the purpose OF raising separate
fund for the specific purpose OF re-
pairing the old building. At that time
there was no restriction on the levy,
and they belived that by an addition
al levy OF few cents each year, this
money could be raised and the indebt-
edness paid off There was also an
understanding with the sheriff that he
would carry the debt for the county
and the whole matter was considered
settled
Dawson's Tax Law.
After all these arrangements had
been completed and the reconstruc-
ton of the court house commenced,
the Dawson tax laws came into effect
and blocked the way for any addition
al levy TO take care OF this court
house debt. The 80 cent levy allow
ed by law was not sufficient to take
care of the ordinary expenses of the
county and leave large amount to
be applied TO the liquidation of the
debt incurred by the remodeling OF
the court house. The court did not
feel that ii was advisable TO call a
special election TO make special levy
for this debt, and the exsheriff con-
tinued to carry the debt until short
time ago when he made settlement
with the present sheriff.
Clerk Hobbs Talks.
County Clerk Hobbs talked very
freely of the matter and said that the
intentions OF the court were morally
right but that the present tax laws
placed them In position where they
were compelled to devise some means
OF .aking care OF the debt.
At the present time, he said the
county is about square The sheriff
owes to the county, in round figures,
$4,000, and has paid out for general
purposes $4,000 In addition to this
he took over from the former sheriff
bills amounting to $4,000. which
would leave a small balance due the
county. This would leave the county
without funds for carrying on it's
business for the remainder of the
year At the end OF the year 1t Is
estimated that the present indebted
ness could be considerably reduced
and could be brought down to prob
ably s17,500.
Presented to Commissioner.
The court was OF the opinion that

Tax Commissioner Coming.
| The visit of the Tax Commissioner,
at the next melting of the County
Court, will most likely bring to light
| the facts in the case.
| The general understanding has
been that when the court house was
remodeled, the county would incur an
Indebtedness, but by an arrangement
between the County Court and the
sheriff, this Indebtedness was to have
been carried by the county officials
until the income to the county from
taxes would wipe out the indebted
ness.
J This means was taken in order to
save the necessity of making a special
| levy in order to take care of the few
thousand dollars which the county
would need to clear the building of
debt.
While the members of the County
| Court claim that the county will have
sufficient funds to meet its obligations
by the end of the year. the yadmit that
there is some difficulty between the
court and the sheriff
Refuse to Talk.
| When asked by representative of
this paper a few days ago, a member
of the County Court stated that at
the proper time statement would be
issued by the court, which would set
the matter straight as far as the court
itself was concerned. When pressed
for further information, which might
be given to the public to alley sus-
picion and refute rumors, the men,
Der of the court declined to talk for
I publication.
| There are rumors In certain parts
that the whole affair dates back to
the Kettering- sheriffalty
fight at the time Of the last election.
and claim that when the investiga-
ton Is completed that suspicious pre-
election deal will have thorough air
| ing.
Anxious For Investigation.
The people OF Martinsburg and
Berkeley county will await with much
anxiety and interest, the forthcoming
! investigation and publicity of the mat
ter which the Tax Commissioner Is
sure to give it. AT the present time
the Tax Commissioner is having the af
fairs OF the sheriffs OF several other
counties in the state investigated, and
some serious errors in their accounts
have been brought to light. which will
no doubt, place these officials in a
very embarrassing position.
While there is no positive state
ment as to the condition of affairs in
Berkeley county, the fact that there
tare so many rumors and that the Gun
