I'ortlaml, On;.. Jan. 30. J 'J 1 2 . To th Honorable County Court. Columbia County, Ore. Gentlemen; W e have carefully audited the account of the County Clerk, Sheriff ami Treasurer, from Dec. 31, 1910 to December 30, 131 1. and have filed the usual summaries and ior'.s showing their transactions. nee by examining the vari- rts that all moneys have lieen jrox'rly accounted for and paid over to the County Treasurer, ting a part of the collections of Tait Roll, all of which have lx-en turned over in Januaay j excepting a few small amounts ari"d a small amount of fees due from the County Clerk. The fee for the violation of the game laws are still in the General Fuud but the Treas urer has opened an account to which he' has credited the full amount over and above that which has been paid ; to the informant, against this should j be charged the costs in these cases ! and the balance turned over to the State Game Fund. The balance ! of $417.19, called to your attention in our report of January, 16, 1911, still remains in the General Fund. We would esiecially call your attention to the 1910 Tax Roll In regard to the following amounts; The roll as charged by the clerk shows a small discrepancy of $1.C4 and a credit amount of 4 cents from the same source, making a net error in the total amount of this roll, as originally charged, of $ l.fiO to be charged to the Sheriff, and other terns as per reiert on same. There 1 is omitted from the roll in Volume ' 4 Page 54 J line 23 and 21, a Cer tificate of Delinquency issued for ?;. 24 which amount lias been paid ; to the Treasurer and the only .thing 1 necessary to make correct will be to make proper entry on the Tax j Roll. On statement of discrepancies of this roll there are debit items amouning to $09.30 for moneys collected by the Sheriff on account of double collection, iart of the amounts paid over tJ "the County Treasurer but receipts not entered on Tax Roll and on the tame state ment a credit of some small errors amounting to $1.92. making a net amount ot debit discrepancies be- jtween the roll and the Sheriff's ledger of $t'.7.3s. There has been paid over to the County $.19.90' j and the following items have not been paid tj the Treasurer: j !.. No. 27 .02 2"i;t i.s; 1101 5.00 7.4.S outstanding, Father the first receipt No. 930 should be taken up and cancelled or the second receipt No. 2504 should have been issued only for the ad ditional amount collected, $77.63 We also inclose statement showing the condition of the Sheriff's as sessments on this roll which is mere ly explanatory. All the financial transactions of which are covered by the btatement of the Sheriff's ac count on this roll. We also call your attention to statement of rebates allowed by the Sheriff on this roll after the rebate penoa closet on March 15, on which we five receipt number, date of payment shown on same, name of tax payer and his address and the amount of rebate allowed. The present ta law does not permit any variation or favors in granting the 3 per cent rebate. We would also cafl your attention J to the fact that deeds issued under i the old law should be charged for by the Sheriff at the time same are , issued at the rate of $1.00 each and j under the Session Laws of 1907, I Chapter 2C7 Sec. SG, deed issued I under the new law should be charged at the rate of $3.00 for each por- tion not exceeding ten lots or plots. In this audit we have simply au dited as between the county officers and the County and did not make any adjustment as between the County and various Special Funds in the taxes. We think with the installing of a proper system of accounts the of ficers would be able to keep a better record and be better in a position to furnish the Court with a state ment as to finances of the County and also be more satisfactory to the officers. There was in the County Fund at the close of business on the 30th day of December 1911, the sum of $3G,2G7.40. Yours very truly, Crandall & Roberts. Auditors. By Seth L.
