CAPITAL FIVE,


AS happy contrast to the condi.
ton of affairs found in other coanty
offices in Socorro county, according
to the auditors report by Mr.. Gull
foil to Governor w. c. Mcdonald, is
his statement that he found the books
OF j. E. Torres, county treasurer of
SocorrO county in excellent shape.
One item of about 500 was excepted
to by the auditor, but the treasurer
agreed promptly to a repayment OF
same on demand.
Today's portion of the report in
cludes the information that the de.
linquent taxes of II. 0. Bursum for
number OF years never had been ad.
yertised. 1t is followed with Schedule
/ b. previously referred to in these
columns which contains a startling
list of warrants dsbursing county
funds, although there exists no record
OF their having been approved. The
report says:
. The accounts of this official were
carefully audited and it is a pleasure
to comment on their neatness and the
general good condition in which these
accounts We're maintained. During
the year, 1871, the records show the
accounts of the treasurer over paid
the maximum salary of 100000 al
lowed by law in the amount of
$lO789. This condition was brought
to the attention of former Treasurer
Torres and he signified his willing
ness to repay this amount when call
ed upon to do SO.
With reference to the publication OF
delinquent taxes, while this feature
III this account was given unusual at
tention, your auditor begs to report
that the taxes of Holm. O. Bursum
for the years 1906, 1907, 1908, 1909,
1910 and 1911 although being unpaid
and delinquent We're not published or
advertised in the manner as is pre-.
scribed by law. The present Treas
urer Montoya is advised of this fact
and will include in the next current
publication the unpaid and delinquent
taxes Of Mr.. BursIm which should
have been regularly published al The
time publication of other delinauent
taxes were reflected. ut is quite
singular to note this apparent over
sight,
