The Heppner Gazettt Established March 80, 1888. (ISSUED THURSDAY MORNING. Fred Wamock at the Poitoff ce at Heppner Oregon, a eeond-claH matter. Xjeobsdai December 6, 1906 EXPERTS HEPORTi HRe turnovers of any part of this ouount. HEamsaA Gove. H4afca ehow collection of poll tax.$lSS.OO "dinted over to Treas. Sep. 6, li'04 1S2.C0 $6.00 Wife respect to the office of County iseor we found numerous stubs show iiuuj; -collect ion of poll taL.es amounting to rtle different sums set opposite the osvaias of tbe various Assesses in our Kqjwrt, but no other record aside from witfcs of receipts were we able to find. 3E5oerefore we are not able to assert that rffease diffe-ent collections of polls by tlif -i-aseaeore constitute the whole of thc'i aillections. The stubs so found were it-rotttered about the offices of the Cour KrTes9 and in eiu-h a confused manne raacc we were unauie to ten wnettier wt racnre.d theru all or not. We consider this manner of collecting jmcJ accounting very loose, for mac iK.-Cis.ey miirht have been so collected am! niropriateJ by any Assessor and the wtcbs destroyed or kept by him private ".vitic'i would conceal the transaction or disposition of the money. A record M&e-cld be kept by tbe Assessors of all EJL tases, regularly numbered receipts wf stubs should be used and entered lawcseeouveiv in the record book at actions were made. in this manner a definite record of all tsnefa -collections would appear perma wmmeUiy in the office of Assessor, from 'Qklch .turnovers could be made, thus "string am accurate disposition of tbe iSnuds so collected. "Xouoonsy collected by Assessors has jeaarcbllWscea held by them and turned cm uat oace each year. This should not Mr uoae, inasmuch aa that length of I5rtt8 multiplies the chance of loss, as in 3iasaBe of W. h. Saling, who perished Ebihe flood and had not turned in all Km collections, whereas, bad this been H1i nied to promptly the county would met Slave affered the loss. Referring to the ollice of County Treasurer? we foand numerous clerical errors in the books chiefly in confusing the various funds. Tbe tendency was to mix the funds ef the school districts, ind interchange the items of road and tchool fund. No shortage was found except $7.7b hich is offset by a gain in paying inter 'tl on warrants, if allowed to be uted fo that purpose. The funds are kept in the various banks of this county, which mbmitted to us their several statement? jf the amounts on deposit. This method of keeping the funds of the county if very meritorious.
