Auditors Also Make
Mistakes

According to the report of the
state auditor of public accounts,
recently released, Dickinson
County spent more than it took
in during the fiscal year from
July 1947 to July 1948. The coun
ty income for the year was listed
as $593.624; its expenditures as
$6O1,7Ol.
The total property assessments
in the county for the year of
l947-48 amounted to $5,132,000.
Tax collections were 84.4 of the
total due. The property assess
ments for 1948 amount to $5,977.-
600, a gain of $845,O00.
The auditors report mentions
a county Indebtedness. AS a mat
ter of fact, the only debt owed
by any part of the county is the
amount remaining on the Erwin
ton District road bonds. This is
$12,235.
Another mistake is noted in the
report, 1t says that welfare funds
were less in 1947-48 than in the
preceding year. The welfare bud
get for 1946-47 was $67,934. The
budget for 1947-48 was $130,615.

Arnett Cob Has
Second Operation

NEW YORK, Sept. 8. -Arnett
Cobb, n of the nations leading
instrumentalists and known as the
"wild mar of the tenor sax" under
went a major operation here Mon
day morning at the hospital for
Joint Diseases. The operating sur
geon was DR.. Leo Mayer, chief of
staff at the institution and one Of
the foremost specialist in the joint
field. The internationally famous
musician was reported resting
comfortably following the ordeal.
This is Cobb's second operation
within a year. Following the prev
ious surgery he was inactive for
a period of nine months. A sched-
ule of dates in theaters had been
arranged when it appeared that
he had completely recovered from
his illness. AS it turned out, this
planning was a bit premature, the
medic decreeing that he had been
too active and therefore found the
second operation necessary.
There is no definite word on
the length of confinement that
will be necessary for his GONZALES
ence.
