THE GRAND JURY REPORT
In Which Some Timely Sugges
tions are Made.
IT IH A VOtiUJlIOUS DOCUMENT
The Jury Adjourned on Thursday
After Investigating the Charge
Made Known lo Them. '
In the circuit court of the state
of
Oregon, for Columbia cous.ty .
To Hon. T. A. MvBride, judge of the
above-named court:
We, the undertidned grand jury for
Columbia eounly, Oregon, fr the
October, 1893, term of said cohrt.make
the following at onr final report, and
respectfully represent:
That we have carefully investigated
all charges of crime presented to ua,
and have returned into court Iruebilla
where we thought the evidencu waa
SUluViiMlt.
We found, when we met in October,
1803, that the county court bad em
ployed one C M, White to expert the
book and accounts of the aherifl's,
county clerk's, and treaaurer'a otttce of
this county for six years prior to July
5th, 1803; that we, pursuant lo your
instructions, employed said C. M.
White to continue said examination
down to October 16th, 1893. On ac
count of the dittrict attorney being
unable to attend our sittings on ac
count of sickness, and it being neces
sary for ut to adjourn, we, after con
lulling your honor, adjourned until
December l'J, 18U3.
Thn report or the expert showed a
mistake of 1933 W ui the account of
G. W. Cole, former treasurer, and ihut
he waa indebted to the county in sit id
sum. Mr. Cole admitted the error ana
paid said sum of $933.53, with legal
interest, in all amounting lo 91,030
into the treasury. , After a careful in
vestigation in this matter we found it
waa a clerical error In hia accounts and
that there wat uu wilful intent to de
fraud the county. We, therefore, ex
onerate Mr. Colo from all criminal lia
bility in thia matter.
Tbe expert report showed that a.
C. Dale, former county clerk, owed the
county 84 on account of trial fee
While we were not in session the
county court met and he settled Ibia
matter satisfactorily with the county
court.
The report of the exporlnbo showed
that. E. E. Quick waa indebted to the
county on account of trial fee in Hie
sum of $850 50. Thia matter was ul-o
iuvertigMti'd (y tbe county court, nod
We iintliistiMiti the matter waa sulnduc
lorily axllled.
We find t!:at the amounts charged
to Mr. Dale and Mr. Quick were tees
not collected, and Ihut the biaik
showed that all money collected by
both these oliiccra bad been paid over
to i ho treasurer as directed by law.
That neither Mr. Pile or Mr. Quck
were in any way guilty of keeping
or converting public nnnicv. I lie ex
pert charged the clerks wuh trial eca
in ci iiniiiiil case w hich they could not
collect. We, Ihercfore.txooerate both
ot said persona from all criminal lia
bility in this matter. Oar investiga
tion ol Una matter convinced u that
the tleiks have not ulwuvs collected
trial fee in advance. The law requires
the clerk to demand in advance of
trial, the trial fee in civil cates, and
unless this fee is remitted by the judge
before trial the same should be col
lected by the clerk, and if he fails lo
collect the tame, the county court
should, unless remitted by the judge,
charge tho tatoe to the clerk's accoiiiit.
The expert a reiairt showed that T.
C. Walts was short in his account the
sum of $180. We understand that the
county court, after a full and careful
examination of said mutter, found that
Mi. Walls' account wore correct, and
that he waa released from all liability
in l he matter. Mr. Watts appeared
before ua and presented hi private
Issiks showing that during hi term
of otllce be had kept a daybook and
cath account of all hia proceedings as
sheriff. If hia example had been fol
lowed by hia successors in otlice they,
perchance, might have kept their ac
counts straight.
The expert's report showed W. A.
Meeker, ex-sheriff, short in hit ac
counts the turn of $1,350.86. Thia
amount, we understand, by tho subse
quent investigation by thu county
cmirl. was increased lo the sum of $1,
63340. Thit amount ia due aud un
paid. . . .
The expert s report showed, thai u.
A. M actio was short in his accounts in
the sum of $3,173.96. This amount
was reduced by the county court to
the sum of $3,051.00. This amount
is still due aud unpaid.
The expert a report shows that the
accounts of E. M. Wharton, county
treasurer, were correct, and all public
money received by bin) had been cor
rectly accounted for.
The assessor, w. It. Ityser, was
iillod in before u aud found to bnvc
$232 poll-tax in hi possession. This
amount he waa holding ua an oflsel to
what i he county owed Ium. In our
pinion this waa publio money belong
n g to the county. We demanded
hat he pay tin money over to. the
rensiirer and present hia bill for ser-
ices ua asseasor lo the county court,
which li did.
Wo visitcil.lhe county clek's office,
the treasurer' aud sheriff's offices, and
found Mr. Quick, Mr. Wharton, and
Mr. Watt, the lately-appointed sheriff,
each faithfully arforming the duties
of hi respective office.
We visited the county jniland found
it in fair condition.
Io our investigation of the sheriff's
olBoe, and the method of keeping ac
count of money collected on taxes, aa
adopted by ex-Sliortff Meeker and
Massio, we find that Meeker and Maa
sie tried to keep I he account of tuxes
collected safely, from record kept in
stubs of receipls. We do not consider
this a proper system of ' bookkeeping.
We recommend Ihut the county conrt
furnish the sheriff with a cash book in
which he can enter, daily, the amonut
of taxes collected from eaoh taxpayer,
together With the number of receipt
and on which roll collected, and that
each day's transaction be carried for
ward into a journal also provided by
the county, and that these book be
kept as permanent records in the aher
itt"ofl!ce. We, since 1864, have had a statute
in this stale requiring the sheriff to
psy over all money collected by him
o.i any tax-list in his liauda to the
treasurer of the county once a month,
taking duplicate receipls, one of which
he shall tile with the clerk of the
county court im mediately thereafter.
This lime has recently been reduced
to once a week.) If this statute had
been enforced by the county court, in
our opinion there would be no short
age io the accnunta of the ex-tharin
of thia county, and in our opinion the
county courts of ibis county have been
derelict in their duty in not requiring
the sheriff to pay ovei the lax money
collected and tile their receipts there
fore as requiied by law.
The fee of county commissioners
for the last year, it seems to ua,are ex-
cessive. We understand that this Is
due to the fact t 'lit the county com
missioner spend a considerable por
tion of their time looking after road
and bridge. At the county court ap
points the supervisors, we recommend
that in the future they try to apiHiini
supervisor competent to look after
iberoaiUand bridges in their own
districts without so much supervision
from the court. If this can be done
there will be a saving to the county in
county commissioners' feea.
And now, having completed our la
bors, we ask to be discharged.

' The Haaona 8o4aL
As was anticipated by tha many
who received invitations to attend the
Masonic gathering ami supper at Ill's
place last Wednesday evening, joyous
time wu I ho result. At about 8:30
p. in. the Mason and their families
and invited friends gathered at the
opera ball and from there they repaired
to the Masonic hull where, at 0 o'clock
Col. Drake and Jacob Myers, of Port
land, two distinguished Masons, enter
tained the assemblage with addresses
which were both pleasing mid instruct
ive. The local luteal exerted itself in
a creditable manner to make the affair
a success, Mr. Dilhird, in hia custom
ary liuppy ninntiov, making an es
pecially pleasing effort. An hour or
more thus spent, those, present repair
ol to thu St. Helens hotel mid paitiaik
of a banquet where everything im
aginable that is good to eal waa found.
After lunch a large number returned
lo the oiera ball, where dancing was
indulged in till a bile hour, and all re
tired to their homes with the convic
tion that in order lo thoroughly enjoy
an evening one must tie the guest of a
mason on such au occasion. .
