County Treasurer Short.

The admission by Mr.. McConville
this morning IF the shortage, came as
a distinct surprise, as he was regard
ed as a most exemplary official in every
respect.
So skilfully did the treasurer con-
ceal his work that it escaped the az.
tention Of the examiners and Mr. Nc
Conville's deputy.
He was better able to do this from
the fact that prior to his election he
had served four years as deputy and
was particularly familiar with the
work Of office prior to becoming treas
urer four years ago.
The shortage commenced early in his
first term and the amount gradually
increased until the grand total reached
$500. It is not thought the amount
will be larger than the sum admitted
by the treasurer. .. f.s,..
