pears to US evidence OF there being

After summarizing in detail the

pert's report says:
The foregoing account does not

urers on account Of tax lists received

Misrepresentation of such funds. A
statement Of such account Will in
volve the compiling OF the account

the amount of the taxes placed in the

time of Joseph Weberg's receiving the

There has been a concealment Of a

records showed the receipts Of money

appears to us evidence of there being

''Misapplication Of funds has been
