Brad- tv treasurer whose System of collecting taxes was severely censured i by Mr. Lockwood In hi report to W. Ferguson, state Insurance com mlMloner, makes answer to Mr. Lock wood In a letter to Mr. Ferguson which reads as follows: Pendleton, Ore., Dec. 15, 1914. J. W. Ferguson, Insurance Commis sioner. Portland, Oregon. Dear Sir: I am writing you In re gard to the report of C M. Lockwood, who experted the book of my office a short time ago, as representative of your office. When Mr. Lockwood first began the work of checking, he had a young man to do the work that had had no experience in that kind of work. Aft er starting the young man to work Mr. Lockwood left and did not return for about ten days. The young man checked the tax rolls and the delinquent taxes and found them correct When he check ed the receipt the first time, he was about J900 long. Going over them the second time he was about $00 hort. When Mr. Lockwood returned he, with the assistance of another young man, rechecked the receipt, and, a he says In his report, found .,' thl. nfflra had collected S39 85 more than it. had reported, but in thl he wa wrong, for the tax receipts, when properly checked will show that every dollar collected ha been turn ed over to the county. Mr. Lockwood in hi report says that this office only collected the sum of $3017.78 in Interest, when the books will show that there waa col lected and turned over to the county, the sum of $3055.10 In Interest. Mr. Lockwood. In hi report makes no mention of the difference In the am ounts of Interest. Mr. Lockwood In hts report says that it was impossible to check the collection register with the receipt but this office can show him that it is a very simple matter to do so. Now in regard to the tax receipt used in thl office for 1911 taxea will say that they have given very good satisfaction and we have had no com plaints made in regard to them from any one before thia These receipt are made up In triplicate form, 100 receipts In a book. The first sheet remained in the book, the duplicate wa sent out a the statement, and the triplicate wa the receipt given to the taxpayer. The receipt were written up In advance and when a person came In to pay hi taxes, the receipt was pulled out of whatever book it waa in and when paid was given a cash number. These cash number ran In numerical order. uhn th rorelntu were entered in the collection register they were entered in I numerical order according to meir cash number with the number of the rocoirt as given out opposite. In checking up our collection register j with our receipts we have had noj trouble. Perhans it caused more work, than some people liked, but we had no complaint to make. In checking our receipts with the register, they came out correct in ev ery detjiil and the amounts shown as collected wrre paid over to the coun ty to the cent. In regard to what was s.!d in the report about duplicate receipt, will say that In cases where ihe original had been lost In the mall and a du plicate called for, we Issued a dup ll.'ato hut always made a note on both the original and duplicate giving we numbers of both or them so mai we had a check on all duplicates Issued. VAv Vr rerriunn in conclusion will eay that I will stand by by rec- ord. notwithstanding the report of. . i A . , U A V. m 1 me experv,- mr i iwivw iticm iv w correct. Tours very truly. Q. W.
