Cash Shortage Doesn't Exist, Hartflel Declares (Continued from Page One) after I bad received lh report of the auditor and rechecked my cancelled bank checki when I discovered the error and 1 have drwn a check on my penonal account ami deposited trie tame in the bank to the credit of the Jutlc of the feacc'a utuudL Hem 3 repreftenia an error made by the bank In paying one of my penonal checks for 91 M and charging the same to my Account ai Juitlce of the Peace. I have, therefore, drawn my personal check for that amount and detv;i.cc. the same in tne bank to the account of the Justice of the Peace. Item 4 represents a chord for 9100 00 delivered to me by M. B. Emmltt as bail. This check became misplaced and was never cashed. When the ball had been exonerated and Mr Emmltt called I was unable to locate the check and paid him the sum of S1(W 00 in cash. After the auditor had counted the cah and checks in my office 1 found this check In an envelope In my desk and mailed the same to the auditor. He de clines to give me credit for the same due to the fact that the check was mure than six months old and he did not believe the bank would honor the same. The check has not been returned to me. If this check Is returned to me, as It should be, and the maker refuses pay ment, I shall make the same good out of my personal account. Item & represents ball returned to one Virgil C. Williams In case No. 3137. The facts concerning this case are that 923 00 ball was posted by Williams. Later the Sergeant of Police told me to dismiss the case, that Williams was not in the state and I made this notation on my docket. Later, however, Williams appeared and was fined 15.ou The dis position should have been 93 20 costs, 9iK to the county and $4W to the state. By reason of the fact that the docket bore the notation "dismissed" these Items were Dot reported. However, since then they have been reported, $15.00 having been divided between the county and slate as above and 910.00 returned to Williams. Item 6 of 92.40 represents an error on the part of the auditor as being money due the county wiieu as mailer of fact if there la any money due It Is due to the state and I have written the State Treasurer to check the r epulis fur verification. I think the foregoing explains and adjusts what you have pleased to call a cash shortage. There Is no cash short age. The auditor did not report In his audit that there was due Douglas County 9H27 55. His audit purported to show that the amount of assets, cash, currency, etc. in my hands lacked SH37.U of equalling the total amounts for which I was accountable. In Schedule B-l of the audit the audi tor purport to set forth the amount of fines and fees collected between March 1. 1048, and March 22. 194a. amounting to 92.08U.oo. This amount was not due and payable to the county and state until after the last day of March and was included In the April report made covering all business transactions dur ing the month of March and the amount due the state and county was paid Also in the same Schedule B-l is a lut of collections made In prior months but not then turned over. 1 have not had time since receiving your demand tu check all these items, but in so far as I have checked, the same have all been reported and the amounts paid. The same Is true relating to fines remitted to State of Oregon in error and re turned by Stale to Justice. As I pointed out before, one Item of 92 40 in the Guthrie case is not payable to the county, but If 1t has not been paid it would be payable to the State of Ore gon and I have written the Treasurer concerning the same. I believe that all amounts due the county have been reported and paid I, therefore. Insist that you have the auditor bring his audit up to date and that 1 be permitted to work with him. and I am confident that when thia audit la brought dp to date It will show ' that all amounts due and payable to Douglas County have been paid. If, However, inrougn any error mere is any money due ihe county, and the auditor and I determine the amount thereof, u will be paid Immediately as 1 ha w the funds In my hands with which to pay the tame and there Is no deficit be tween the amount of assets In my hands and the amount for which 1 am ac countable. I also Insist that the auditor continue to check my books and records with me to the end thai the same may be completed with the close of my term of office In order that I may turn over all moneys to my successor and have a compute clearance. 1 am, entitled to this. .Respectfully yours.
