Gated certain departments in the
county budget had been entirely ex-
hausted In some cases and nearly ex-
hausted In others.
Maj. Lee declared in q statement
that he was convinced one OF the pur-
poses Of the report was TO damage,

his drm.
Claims Overpayment.
He declared that during the tax
year ending June 30, 1888, the iirm
actually overpaid the county approx
mately $l,050 in cash. refund Of
which Is now being sought.
The complete statement follows:
THE Board Of County Commission
ers yesterday afternoon released for
newspaper publication the observations
Of an auditor that the new Fusion
members Of the Board OF County Com
missioners and Edward Peter. their
attorney, selected several months ago
to check over the records Of the
county treasurer's ONCE.
IT am convinced that one Of the
political purposes Of the Fusion County
Commissioners and Mr.. Peter in re-
leasing this report in the Language
which they used Is. to do business
damage to the North Washington
Realty Co., Of which corporation am
president and large stockholder, and
to do similar business damage to me
as an individual.
THE auditors remarks as printed
in Washington evening papers state
that taxes on properties owned by the
North Washington Realty Co. were
written on by the treasurer's books
as 'inSolvent' In the following Ian
guage:
THE auditor further declared that
there was ''insolvent'' written on q

State, and Frank L. Hewitt. Silver
Spring real estate operator and we'll
known Republican leader. The Hewitt
checks on the list, the commissioners
said, totaled So. 9.485.18.
It was said by members Of the
County Board that they had been in
formed by Joseph c. Cissel. attorney
to the former board, that Walker had
been directed on June az, 1888. to turn
the checks over to the commissioners
counsel for collection.
The auditing Arms representative
told the commissioners that Walker
had been questioned by accountants
from that concern regarding the de-
lay in depoSiting the $30.o00 check
for the North washington Realty Coz
taxes.
Referred to Employe.
He said that Walker had told the
accountants that he was not per-
sonally familiar with the account and
referred them to an employe In the
treasurer's Office.
The latter. it was said, declared the
check had been in his desk drawer
the entire time. but he had not had
opportunity to check the bills. 1t was
pointed out in the report that the
county lost four and half months
interest on the $4,000 involved In
the transaction.
Commissioner Paul Coughlan called
attention to the board that the report
disclosed that in the five months pre-
ceding the election in which the
Democratic organization lost control
of the board to the Fusion party the
old board had spent 34.5 per cent OF
the taxes due the county for a FIVE
month period for salaries alone
He called attention also to figures
which showed that during the same
period annual appropriations allo-

collected taxes on real estate, except
ing "a few struggling cases commen-
surate with the tremendous volume Of
business of my office"
Adjustments Being Made.
Il noticed the commissioners have
seen fit to make public reference to
taexs that are unpaid on certain prop
critics listed under the name of the
North Washington Realty Co.," he
stated
thousands of dollars in taxes, and the
unpaid taxes are on properties now
being adjusted due to the fact that
certain parts have been sold to the
county, or to other agencies, on
which taxes are exempt. When these
adjustments have been properly
made, the taxes will be taken care
of, and in several cases refunds will
be due where taxes which should
have been exempt were paid"
He added that proper explanation
could be made as to the reason for
the non-payment of taxes on proper
ties listed under the names Of other
persons mentioned in the report.
Walker asserted that he had re-
peatedly requested the commissioners
for a copy of the audit, and had Of
fered to give them any information
they desire concerning his office, He
said he was promised a copy of the
audit, and was assured that until it
was furnished him no public state
ment would be made by the board,
However, he declared, he has not yet
received the promised copy.
Must Know Claims.
"Any business man can realize that
it is impossible to furnish informa-
ton concerning affairs Of my office
without knowing definitely what is
claimed" the treasurer added.
1t was set forth in the report that
checks aggregatjng $l2,98428. ac-
cepted in payment of taxes, had been
returned because of insufficient funds
and the commissioners Immediately
adopted a resolution demanding that
Walker turn the uncollected checks
over TO County Attorney Edward Peter

WALKER SCORES
REPORT ON AUDIT
Montgomery Treasurer De-
nies Shortage of Funds
or Taxes.
By Q star Correspondent Of The Star.

By Star Correspondent Of The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md, May 17---A. Wig
orous denial of any shortage Of funds
or taxes in Montgomery County was
made today by County Treasurer J.
Forest Walker as States Attorney
James H. Pugh began the study of an
audit which indicated failure on the
part of the county to collect $685.
822.78 in taxes during the 1928
levy years.
The audit also was scored in another
quarter when Maj. E. Brooke Lee, for
mer county political leader, branded
allegations contained in the report as
an attempt by the new Fusion admin
istration to damage both the North
Washington Realty Co., of which he
is president and a large stockholder,
and himself as an individual.
Referred to Pugh.
The county commissioners referred
the report to States Attorney Pugh
for appropriate action" yesterday
afternoon, after a representative of a
Baltimore auditing firm told the board
the S88,822.78 represented levies on
real estate that should have been ad-
vertised for tax delinquencies.
The report gave lengthy list of
unadvertised properties on which taxes
were in arrears and number of tax
items had ''inSolvent" written oppo-
site them.
Walker explained today that the
word "insolvent" is applied in certain
cases where the county is unable to
collect taxes, such as the abandon
ment of business establishments, the
sale of privately owned property to
the Government, or the destruction Of
buildings by fires.
He said that as 1t is necessary to
continue record of the property on
the books, even though they are no
longer subject to taxation. they are
termed "inSolvent."
Check Held Up.
In another instance, the report set
forth, a tax bill of the North Wash
ington Realty Co. in an amount in
excess of $4,000 had been marked
paid on February 4, 1884, but the
check was held in the treasurer's S
office for four and half months be-
fore it was deposited in the bank.
Among the delinquent, but unad-
vertised properties, the auditing firms
representative told the commissioners,
were lands owned by the county treas
urer himself and by several members
OF his family.
Others on the unadvertised property
lists, he declared, were the North
Washington Realty Co., the Blair De-
velopment Co. and the Sligo Park
Land Co., all of Silver Spring.
Walker, who was elected to office
under the Democratic organization
formerly headed by Maj. Lee. today
characterized the audit and its accom-
panying report as "a subterfuge to OBJ
tain publicity for political purposes"
He declared the books of his ONCE
will disclose no shortage and no un.

its profit. And I stated that the

You probably wondered what I
meant.

They should have caught the note

for the first time in history, the

beyond trenches. beyond fortresses,
over impossible mountains and wide
stretches of open sea-that brought
smoking death right home to them.
It was wars aviation arm.
The world is srming and more
