GENERAL COUNTY FUNDS

IhlS tund Is for general county
purposes, and absorbs all county ex-
Geenses not taken care of by the
school, road and bond funds.
During the period covered by our
audit, money belonging to this fund
was handled by Mr. Arlie G. Wilson,
treasurer and Mr.. E. G. Greer. treas
urer.
Into this fund we have combined
the general county fund, the coun-
ty home building fund and the dog
tax fund, inasmuch as the cost of the
county home ran $1,262.16 above the
special tax levied theefor, which ex-
cess had to be absorbed by the gen
eral county fund. Chaper 233, pub
lie laws, 1921, requires that the
proceeds of the dog tax thereafter
levied in Watauga County shall be
turned into the school fund. There
fore, the balance in the dog tax fund
at October 81, 1921, has been trans
ferred to the general county fund to
take care of claims outstanding at
that time, and issued since for sheep
killed The balance left in this fund
of $80.81 we have credited to the
school fund
"There appears to be current de-
ficit of $11,11O.73 at June 80,
1925"
This deficit may be further in
creased in case the general fund is
required to absorb the $4,000 bor-
rowed and turned over to the school
fund as the said note is not signed
by the board of education"
A consolidated statement of the
current assets and liabilities as shown
by Exhibit Ell of the audit as of
June 80, 1925, is as follows:

lists were checked against the tax
books and numerous errors and omis-
sions were found, lists of which were
furnished Sheriff Critcher, amount
ing to $5,950.56, as this tax book
was in process of collection and a
large portion of the omissions were
considered collectable. In computing
our tax levy for 1924 we have
charged Sheriff Critcher with
S617.85 in errors found in IA
vor of the taxpayers, inasmuch as full
collections would probably be made
of the original amount shown on the
receipt stubs, or else the errors would
be rectified through releases issued
by the county commissioners.
"In reference to Schedule B, Ii
censes collected by Sheriff Young for
years 1921 and 1922 we were unable
to find any record of licenses collect
ed nor could Sheriff Young furnish
us this information. On Minute Dock
ct under date of May 8, 1928, in
partial settlement with Sheriff Young
for the year 1922 we found where he
is charged with $500 for license
taxes and $125.00 for privilege
taxes, total $207 for the year, and
in computing the status of his ac-
count we have charged this
amount less 5 per cent commits
sion. Il 4
eve found no record whatsoever
of any partial or final settlement for
the year 1921 with Sheriff Young
Partial settlement for year 1922 ap-
pears on the Minute Docket under
date of May s, 1928, and November
IA, 1924, but no final settlement ap-
pears to have been made. No Off
cial settlement appears to have been
made with Sheriff Critcher for years
1923-24 though partial settlements
appear to have been made on May 5,
1924 and September 8, 1924" In
this connection the auditor directs at
tention to Section SS of the Ma
chinery Act of 1921, which specifies
that before a sheriff shall receive a
new tax book he shall have settled
for the prior tax books. "We fur
ther direct attention." says the au-
dtor, ''to Section S3, Machinery Act
of 1921 which specifies that each tax
book shall be duly certified to the

the township abstracts, final tax

After quoting Section S8. Ma

penalties on unpaid taxes, the auditor
says;
1--WE have not charged penalties, in
accordance with this statute, against
Nr. Young, leaving this entirely to
f:u discretion of the board of coun-
ty commissioners. Mr.. Young claims
to have made repeated requests for
settlement of his accounts but with
out, success, and in our opinion, based
on the condition in which the records
were found for audit, correct figures

The auditor closes his comments
on the status of sheriffs' accounts
with this pararaph
st is not known how much mon
ey it has cost the county on account
of the careless and Indifferent man
ner in which the tax records were
compiled, as the lax and unbusinesss

that time on there were p ractically
two households in the Hall estab.
Hshment at New Brunswick.
Proud. and terrified at the un-
pleasant notoriety, Mrs. Hall kept
more than ever to herself.
While she did not wear her heart
on her sleeve. knowledge Of her
husbands duplicity almost killed
her. After having found out the
true state Of affairs Mrs. Hall could
never forgive her husband.
Certain things followed one an
other which, according to Mrs.
Halls close friends, seemed to
change her entire attitude toward
life. She had her husband more
carefully watched than ever. Mrs.

watched.
Deep-Rooted Hatred
The feeling Of deep-roted hatred
against the Reverend Mr.. Hall by
persons close to Mrs. Hall became
known all over New Brunswick.
The climax was reached when Il
