CANISTER GUNS

Where does the gangster get his
machine guns with which to slaugh-
ter and commit his crimes?
That has been standing question
with the United States Department
of Justice. A junk dealer gave an
answer to the question, and 1t was:
From the army. Jacob Paley, New
York junk dealer, told the Senate
Munitions Committee, that he has
purchased 1884 machine guns from
the army and that more were being
offered every week at army depots.
And then he offered this cryptic, if
inelegant observation:
Here was the Government selling
guns with one hand and belly.aching
about 1t with the other"

w. n. A. 39-NORTH EAST HIGH is
By C. X. VAUGHAN

February IS saw West Nottingham
Academy completely rout the North
East High School quintet 1915 on the
latter's court. AT no time during the
contest was the victory uncertain.
The first three quarters were rather
slow due to the fact that both teams
appeared to be on the defensive, and
also the Maroon second lineup played
a lot during these three stanzas. Not
tingham led So for the first frame !;
10 at the conclusion of the second
period; and only by the scant margin
of 1911 when the third quarter
terminated.
Chukker number four found North
East with her shoulders touching.
Coach Markarians basketeers swung
their way into terrific onslaught and
'swished the net at will, it appeared.
This attack was led by Mowrey who
shared five field goals from mid-court.
Roak, captain of the Maroon, account
ed for ten points himself when he
managed four field goals and two foul
tosses-these two being the high
scorers of the game. C. Williams was
high man with six counters and the
mainstay of the North East aggrega-
ton. The lineup:

July and August, P. =. Coiey was
paid at the rate of $1.56 per yard for
hauling gravel, the total OF such
claims paid having been $3,28l.46.
Gravel hauls at lesser rate, brought
his total claims for that service TO $4,-

do not know the length of haul and
these claims may all have been ;regu-
lar They are exhibited because no
other hauler for Road District No. 1

one-third that rate for similar services.

received that consideration.
We find that the total payments ac-
tually made during the year 1885 to
r. E. Coley, for all services, amounted
to $5,332.84. He now seeks $2,498.-
Us for alleged additional services,

That figure does not include any OF

specifications had been completed,
| bids were accepted from number of
contractors with the following result:
| klopher Brothers, 62S So. Ivory
Street, Spokane, bid l2,7U0.80 and
accompanied their bid with certified
check for $660.00. George Bother, h.
| 1914 Dalton Avenue, Spokane, sub
mitted bid Of $l3.700.G0, aad his
bid was accepted. The records of the
county Commissioners proceedings
are silent as to any reason for reject
ing the bid of Klopher Brothers which
was exactly $l,O00.OO less than the
contract awarded to George Bother.
One Of the commissioners stated verb
ally that the KIopher Brothers bid
had been rejected because of poor
construction at Neppel. However. the
architect was paid per cent OF the
contract, and it certainly would have
been his duty to see that the work
was accomplished according to speclfl-
cations. The explanation, therefore,
was not convincing.
Tax Title Property Sales:
Proceeds from the sale OF tax title
property are credited to what is desig-
mated "Trust Fund.-. Segregation
thereof to funds has been made by
transfer once each year, lie. on De-
cember 81. However, we found that
as of June 80, 1885 the cash bal
ance in the Trust Fund was S9,2O9.-
So; segregation was not made until
six months thereafter. Proceeds of tax
sales belong to the taxing units exist
ing on the date of sale. Negligence in
segregating funds held by the County
Treasurer in trust creates definite
liability if any district or fund en-
titled to participate shall have been
on a warrant basis. We are inclined to
think, therefore, that segregation OF
the Trust Fund should be made at IN
tervaIs of six months.
Supplemental Tax Fund:
This fund was created to account
for tax collections against property
not on the rolls submitted by the
County Assessor. Thsn as OF Decem-

R E M ARKs

pursuant to a formal request from
interested Grant County officials, we
have made q careful investigation of
financial transactions in and for
ROAD DIST. NO. l covering the year
1885. The examination included, nat
urally. Secondary Highway transac-
tons which affected the funds of the
said road district.
Our investigation was made some
what difficult, and, therefore, in
accurate in some respects, because of
the manner of accounting for road
district claims which were paid out of
a single Secondary Highway operating
fund. However, the County Auditor
maintained budget record Of road
district revenues, expenditures and
balances. We found our difficulty in
an attempt to identify claims against
the Secondary Highway Fund as to
district distribution. The accounting
procedure of road funds will be adjust
ed when the Forthcoming regular ex-
animation of county records takes
place.
We examined all Secondary High
way, Secondary Highway equipment
and Road District No. ] claims and
checked them against the warrant
register. We also set up complete
distribution of expenditures made by
the several funds concerned.
Exhibit ga" herein, indicates the
rentals and wage scale adopted and
used by Grant County except as noted
herein.
| Exhibit "B" represents a claim
'of P. E. Coley of Maritime, Washing
ton, approved for payment by the
County Commissioners but held up by
the County Auditor. This claim rep
resents rental of two trucks (See Ex-
hibits sc" and Oh" for types of
trucks and their respective rated capa-
eities) without drivers at q rental of
$1,000 per day. Exhibit &C" rep
resents claim for services as truck
drivers, covering the identical days,
at $3.50 per day each to p. L. Coley
and to Bud Coley. That makes the
rental of these two Chew. trucks SAL
so per day. According to the schedule
of regular rates, the price could not
have exceeded $500 per day for
trucks and drivers.
BY reference to page Is item 20, it
will be noted that p. r. Coley was
paid at the rate Of $41.6O per day
for rental Of two trucks with drivers.
For details concerning this transaction,
please refer, also, to Exhibit "F''
and note that payment was made for
the use of p. E. Coley's two trucks
on August Z, 8, 3, 10 and II. Then
note that the claim-Exhibit "B''
sworn to by Mr.. 7. z. CoIoy and APP
proved by the County Commissioners,
includes rental for the same trucks on

/ Der 81, it has been segregated by
transfer. The correct method would
be to add the total amount collected
to the rolls as q supplemental and
then to segregate as tax. That would
simplify accounting procedure and
attain the correct result.
County Classification:
Because of the great CouIee Dam
project, Grant County has grown in
ordinately since the 1890 Federal
Census was taken. The work in vari-
GUS offices has increased to an extent
which makes impracticabIe continu-
ance of the present classification
which provides for combined offices
OF Treasurer-Assessor and Clerk,
Auditor. The 1880 Federal Census
placed the population of the county at
1852. Chapter 1876, Laws OF 1893.
classify Grant County as of the sew
enth class. 1t is believed by many in
formed persons that the necessary s.,
348 persons required to place the
county in the fifth class now reside In
and around Coulee Dam. TO be valid,
a special census must be taken within
three years of the ensuing l94U Fed
eral Census. Rem. Comp. Stat, sec
tions 4200-6 supra, set forth the
manner of taking such census. We be-
Iieve the County Commissioners should
order such special census taken during
the year 1895.
Crediting Fines:
By reference to pages ST it will be
observed that, due to incomplete in
formation, many errors were made by
the County Treasurer in crediting
fines. Amongst other items, we found
that $512.80 had been credited to thu
State School Fund enormously, the
County Current Expense Fund having
been the loser. That and other similar
errors will be corrected, as to state
funds, by withholding fines, etc., I'M
til such time as complete adjustments
are possible. The Treasurer should
exercise more care in ascertaining the
source and the legal disposition Of re-
ceipts from fines.
We believe that office salaries
should be predicated on regular pay
roll, signed by each deputy or en-
ploye and sworn to by the head of the
office or department.
