Mayor Pays Sums
To City Auditor

Two items in the financial state
ment of the City of London for the
month of May, 1856, indicated the
completion of the examination of
the city's books by the state ex-
aminer's office representative.
The items were, under the gen.
eral fund receipts and recorded as
Findings by Examiner-Fines &
Costs S544.63" and under other
receipts, recorded as Findings by
Examiner-Highway Cases - S3,-
541.29."
Mayor Speasmaker said Monday
that such findings were indicative
of the fact that books were not
balanced at the time the auditor
took them over. The Mayor also
said that in his opinion. such re-
ports were not actually findings
but were merely a method of
Strengthening UP the accounts.
London's City Auditor, Hazel
Myers, said the Mayor had paid the
sums in question into the city cof-
fers.
The auditors report of the re-
cent examination of the city's
books has not been made public.

Local Government
Tax Losses Stand

Governor Frank j. Lauscine noti-
fled the Ohio Legislature Monday
that he was opposed to using any
portion of the state treasury's sur
plus to go toward repaying local
governments for any loss they may
occur as result of an Ohio SUI
preme Court decision affecting rev.
enue, according to the Associated
Press.
The Supreme Court declared il
legal tax in Ohio on federal Sc
curities held by financial institu-
tions. Receipts from this tax went
in part to local governments. The
decision cost local governments in
Ohio $12, 300. 900 Madison County's
share is S27, 400 The debt must be
paid within year.
Governor Lausche is presently
attending the Governors Conven-
tion at Atlantic City. His opposi-
tion to the use of state funds to re-
pay the losses was made known in
letter released from his office
which also opposed a proposal to
appropriate So million for the 1859
Pan-American Games in Cleveland,
reported AP.
George w. Taylor, chairman of
the Madison County Commission
ers, and president of the County
Commissioners Association of Ohio,
has been active in the latter ca
pacity in efforts to seek ways and
means to alleviate what he has
called AN impossible burden for
most of the states local govern
ments." Mr.. Taylor has stated that
Madison County has no funds with
which to repay the now illegal col
lections and. that such repayment
would require additional sources of
revenue. Earlier, Mr.. Taylor and
other representatives of local gov
eTnments and members of the leg
iSlature had met with Governor
Lausche on the feasibility of spe-
cial session of the legislature to act
on the matter.
!, AP said bills will be presented
Thursday to propose that the state
appropriate enough money to meet
local governments tax losses, then
recoup about half that amount
through special tax for two
wears.
