appears to be Special Road Tax re-
ceipts accepted on payment of taxes,
amounting to $536204, leaving a cash
balance due this Office from Will
Monk, as tax collector, $836.25.
No report has been filed with the

taxes, Gas above referred to-, no re-
port has been filed on corrections
made by this Office most OF which
were ordered made by the board OF
county commissioners, no report has
been made on the balance due this
Office on his account, as shown in
above account. :,
The original and delinquent rolls
and the relinduent sale certificates
were turned over TO this office by
Tax Collector Monk, at the close OF
business on January 18th, 1918. Upon
examination it was found that tins
work was hurriedly and earclesSly
done. That the delinquent roll had
not been checked with the original
roll That the delinquent sale cert,
hcates had not been compared, and
that many errors existed in the dc.
scriptions of properties given in said
delinquent sale certificates; That
where property had been listed as
TAX Numbers" no further deScrlp-
tons were given on said dc linqucn'
sale certificates, as required by law
That many delinquent sale certihcates
had been written on property, oil
which taxes had been paid as shown
by the original roll, and that seVera
separate assessments on which Nc
payment had been made, had not beer
entered on the delinquent roll, ant
no delinqeunt sale certificates writ
ten therefor.
II was therefore necessary to care
fully check all this work, complctmt
and comparing il, before the work o
auditing the rolls could properly be
gin.
therefore recommend, that on ac
count OF the additional expenses incur
red by completing and comparing
work as above stated. and checkin!
the roll, balance due, delinquent sal
certificates, which usually belongs Il
the auditors office, be divided betweel
the auditors office and the treasurer
Office, and that demand be made upo

a complete report. so that the book
can be closed.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN ID. BLOOMFIELD,
Deputy Auditor.

FROM WILL MONK

John D. Bloomfield, who Monday
submitted to the board of county COM
missioners his report of the 1914
taxes as charged against Will Monk
treasurer and eX-oflcio tax collector,
recommends that demand be made
upon Mr. Monk for a balance of
$83625 which he failed to turn over
to his successor in Office. Mr.. Bloom
field also charges that Monk has been
negligent and careless in the conduct
Of his office. He failed to do his
work properly which has necessitated
the coul ty going to great trouble and
expence in getting his books and ere
ords in proper shape.
Money Charged to Monk.
All told $487 ,o2l.76 stands charged
AGAINST Mr.. Monk. He is legally en-
Tiled to credit for $48l ,723.H leaving
~ lo8. % unaccounted for. Mr.. Bloom
field assumes that some five thousand
three hundred sixty two dollars and
four cents can be accounted for by
the special road tax receipts. Deduct
ING this amount Mr.. Monk is still
short $836.25.
Monk Is Out of State.
Fx-Treasurer Will Monk left sever
al DAYS ago for the east. He is sup
posed to be at Kansas City. His
chief clerk, during the last two years,
o. C. Robinson has also left the state.
Mr.. Robinson went from Caldwell to
Portland.
When Monk turned over the office
to Mrs. Handy, his successor, he re-
tanned the cancelled bank checks and
the bank register. He finally turned
them over when forced to do so. This
action aroused suspicious in the minds
of great many. The county com
missioners deemed it advisable to
make an investigation. The report OF
Mr.. Bloomfield in full follows:

reawakenng of Tom Andrews. pro-

pion Kid Williams of Baltimore to
meet the sensational Johnny Ertle of
ST. Paul, in a battle for the bantam

completed a week ago but there has
been a hitch which Andrew apparent

is going right ahead with his plans.
Ertle and his manager conferred with
Andrews and left satisfied. As Ert-
lie has resumed training after a rest
of two months barring the bout with

in conccding the weight.
