HIS OFFICE 0. K.
County Auditors File Report on
Zimmerman's Business.
Clerk Found to Owe County
$274.95 for Transfers.

In a report on the Office of County
Clerk Samuel G. Zimmerman, the spe-
cial accountants this afternoon report
ed to the county board that the rec
ords had been kept in good shape ex-
cept in the matter of the commission
ers' proceedings and that the books in
the office balanced with the exception
of a shortage of $2T4.95 on the trans
fer record. The findings of the auditors
cover ten typewritetn pages and COW
ers the work of the office in detail.
Zimmerman's shortage in the trans
fer account is explained in the report
as being due to the custom of exclud-
ing quit claim deeds. This report
shows that the instruments recorded
and checked against Zimm erman' s
record, leaves a balance due to Shaw
nee county of $274.95. Many instru-
ments, it is stated, are filed to rectify
the county records and in other in
stances trainers of property in out
lying districts were described as lots
and for which there should have been
a charge of five cents a lot. In han
ding this business, the clerk frequent
ly charged but 10 cents for the entire
instrument This left the balance due
the county of nearly $275.
As to the keeping of public records
by Zimmerman no criticism is express
ed by the accountants except in the
matter of writing the minutes of the
commissioners proceedings In the
matter of this record, the minutes
have not at all times been kept up to
date.
Zimnlerman's Collections.
Fees and licenses collected by I'm
norman are reported as follows by
the accountants: Transfer fees. ST.
SEALS; tax deeds, $209.O5; medicine
vendors licenses $500; redemption
and assignment fees, $40S; miscella-
neOuS items, $3.50. From this total
of $2,417.7O is deducted $500 as sun
dry expenses, leaving a balance of ST.
40S.S0. Against this is charged pay
ments to the county of $2,323.55 and
from July 1, 1911, to Au-
gust 81, of $S5-25, making an accurate
balance.
The transfer record shows So.S2S
lots at ) cents each for which the Of
fee should have received $1,541.60-
Added to this item is the transfer of
3,275 tracts at 10 cents each, amount
ing to $327.5O. Against this total of
81 S69.1O is cash as shown by the fee
book of S1,594.15. with a balance due
tn. county of $274.95. A further bal
ance of $685. is also shown to be due
the county in the period from July 1
to August 81, but this is not in the
regular course of business, as the
quarterly report from Zimmerman S
office was not due until September 80.
In the matter of hunting licenses, 1t
is shown that Zimmerman disposed of
s 4O1 licenses to Shawnee county hunt
ers at the customary price of 81 each.
Expression of appreciation is made by
the auditors for the courtesies extend
ed by the clerks office force while the
audit was being compiled. Their re-
port-the fourth to be made since the
work started-was filed this afternoon
with the county board.
