However. IL he had done 50 he would be
accountable for all such moneys. There
Is absolutely no authority Of law what
soevcr for him To hand back any such
collected moneys. Under section 1870
G.. c.. ell moneys collected by him
should be paid into the corporation
treasury weekly and into the county
treasury monthly and after once in the
municipal treasury. such money can
only be drawn out If 1t be legal to do
so at all under warrant OF the city aud
itor upon the treasurer. Section 3795
G.. c. The same rule will hold good with
the county moneys which the mayor
could not distribute.
Although Mr.. Wassman was mayor
for many years he is proud to say on
almost anything you mention that he
did not know that was the law regarding
his office.
Failure of the solicitor to bring this
matter to a conclusion will work an
I injustice to the citizens OF Bellaire. and
also to our department as there findings
az made are correct and can be support
ed BY documentary evidence written in
the mayors own handw riting in many

COLUMBUS, Sept. 10. L. Fox. an
hrarnfner OF the Bureau Of Inspection
nnd Supervision Of Public Offices. has
aled with that bureau and with state
Auditor A v. Donahey. report review
Ing q previous, finding made by the same
Sgaminer against Charles ". Wassman.
FORMER mayor Of Bellaire. The report.
reviewing the previous finding was re-
leased today.
Fox's supplementary report as filed
with state auditor Donahey follows:
FOLLOWING instructions received from
you through the Bureau OF Inspection
ana Supervision OF Public Offices.
went 70 Bellaire on March 8. 1919. TO
ascertain tho reasons why local solicit
orr had not complied with the law re-
Earaing the findings for recovery made
AGAINST certain officials OF the City or
Rellaire as reported by men in report
under date OF July 81. 1918. This visit
was also due partly to the request OF
those same officials in as far as they
were striving to make q settlement or
these findings.
a'JJpon taking up this matter with City
Solicitor James F. Tallman, who had
only recently assumed the duties OF his
Office, I was informed that ne knew
nothing about these findings. and found
him very reluctant 10 discuss same.
His predecessor, X. G.. Cooper. had
FAILED 10 take any action stating that he
was under the impre that the find
5nrs were settled through the attorney
Generals office.
Charles W. wassman. against whom
the bulk OF tho findings were made. vas
called into the conference and h" stated
thar he would like to settle tn" findings
but before any were paid back h" de-
sired TO check through the different
items because he thought some of them
could be explained. but n" didn't care TO
go through the matter while I was in
the military service OF the United
States. so we agreed 70 drop tho matter
untii I was discharged from the army.
After being discharged I again went
to Bellalre on August 4. 1919 and spoke
TO Mr.. Wassman about thos" findings
but he now refused to check through
them with me and did not care TO have
me present when he checked through
them with Some one else. preferably the
present solicitor. c. c. ScdSwick.
1T IL my opinion that there will be
nothing done by Mr.. WaSSman and
others against whom findings w"r" mad"
unless legal proceedings are Instituted
s,v the proper authorities under section
asa G. c.. which proper authority IN
this instance is the solicitor OF the City
Of Beliaire.
SWe feel that the mayor will claim
that he paid this money back TO the
peopiS from whom it had been collected.
we do not believe in any event.
