clpal.
During my investigation made
the furthtr discovery that notwith.
standing the fact that our statutes re.
quire the secretary of state to immedi.
ately turn all money collected by him
into the treasury, Mr.. Chiffon had in
his possession during and since his
term Of office money belonging to the
state as follows:
Average amount first year. Us 1883
Average amount second year.. 1907
Average amount third year. =. 26,779
Average amount fourth year. 29,422
Amount since March 4, 1897, $685.
$500. At per cent. per annum the
interest on these amounts is $3.50.
Parts Of the report:
"A careful examination reveals var.
ious inaccuracies and discrepancies in
these reports. In his report of the
first-half year 1894 there is mistagc
of $1,000"
This amount added to other errors
makes total against the state Of ST..
130.'
ION comparing these reports with
the records in the Office find that four
foreign and six domestic corporations
failed to appear. Mr.. Chiffon failed
to report $780,"
II find "a corporations returned as
domestic when record shows they
were foreign; deficit $780,"
II find six domestic corporations re.
turned as foreign on which he has
charged himself with $50 each in.
stead of ten. Credit $24o. This makes
shortage up to July 1, 1896, $2,110."
"Of the money collected since July
1896, he has paid nothing. His reports
show that from that date UP to and
including March 4, 1897, he received
for initial charter tax $15,350. Three
more foreign charters marked domes.
tic $500"
II therefore find his total shortage
to date for license tax on charters ST..
$780,"
by adding the amount which he re.
ports as his shortage on the sale OF
books and tax on seals to the amount
Of shortage on license tax on charters
I find the total amount to be $23,5S9..
