County Treasurer Turns Amount Accu mulated by Himself and Ex-Sheriff Kraiier Into General Fund. Accumulations from over-collections of taxes amounting to $608.60 were found by County Treasurer Lewis in search through old tax collection rec ords of his own term as tax collector and turned over to the general fund of the county yesterday. In addition to this, there was turned over $302 ac cumulated by William Frailer, who was Sheriff and tax collector 15 years ago, from over-payments, and which has been in the county treasury since. The over-payments in Mr. Frasier's regime had been turned over to Mr. Lewis June 30. 1902. These over-collections were from "splits," that Is, odd cents collected to make -an even amount when the tax to tal was not even. Thus, $86.65 would be collected, when the tax due' was $86. S3. These were sometimes balanced by under-collections, such as $86.60 when the taxes due amounted to $86.62, but it was often the custom to collect a nickel more on a total such as that. Sheriff Hurlburt has reduced the cus tom to the collection of only fractional "Bpllts." When one-third or one-half cent appears on the tax sheet, . a full cent is collected. These overpayments In the first year of Sheriff Uurlburt's regime totaled $105, and were turned over by him to the County Commissioners.
