Expert Accountants Report
Eureka, Nevada, Jan. 13, 1914.
To the Honorable Board of County
Commissioners of Eureka County.
Gentlemen: | hand you herewith
balance sheet covering the period
January l to December 81, inclusive,
1918.
Through extra care of the Audi
tor, the Assessment Roll is accurately
balanced to the cent up to the point
of division. This time he was care
full to add and dropfractions in max
ing extensions, with a view of having
the book balanced, and it does, as /
say, up to the point of division.
That is, where the total of extensions
is divided into three classes, namely:
Amount collected nfirst installment,
amount due on delinquent taxes, and
amount due on second installment.
In each of the three items the
Auditor has made a small error
The payments as noted in the book
show that the amount collected on
first installment is $2.06 more than
the Auditors figures. He has de
linquent taxes ten cents NOR than
it should be, and amount to be col
lected on second installment $1.96
more than it should be.
The $2.06 short on first item is off
set by the $2.06 over on the last two
items and the errors are of no i'm
portance except that they give the
book the appearance of having been
slightly forced in obtaining final bal
ance, and the Treasurer must have
accepted the Auditors figures and
made returns in accordance with
them without checking up to prove
their accuracy.
Have noted correct amount of the
three items mentioned above, on AS
sessment Roll, alongside of Auditors
figures, but it makes no difference
in the clean up whether settlement
is made on my figures or his.
Have brought the $500 over as a
debit against the Treasurer to be &C.
counted for in his next returns. The
other debit | show against him of
$43.85 is for delinquent taxes col
lected in 1918, but not accounted for
to Auditor. Side cash was shown to
cover the charge and u check
showed that the item had been cor
rectly reported to us.
Treasurer's cash counted out Sc
over as compared with Auditors
figures, but after charging him with
the $3.50 the over is reduced to 1894.
Nothing could be found to absorb
this over, so it is presumably his own
money. All collections chargeable
to Sheriff were covered by State and
