In line with the showing of W o .
Whitfield & Co. of Portland ex
perts, who stated that the books of
Clackamas county are in need of
system and that methods are loose
and
unbusinesslike,
Estacada
School district No. 108 has just
discovered that $1,300 belonging
to the district had been apportioned
to District 105. Sheriff Mass, who
collects taxes, admits the error and
promised to rectify it.
This condition was revealed at a
meeting of the board of education,
Monday evening.
Mrs. Sarah
Bates, the clerk, explained to the
board that she had called at the
county treasurer’s office at Oregon
City and was told that the district
had $432.42 on deposit. Astound
ed by the news, she protested and
went to see the sheriff, where the
same condition was shown. The
sheriff, after learning her name and
address, said he would investigate.
Iu a short time he notified her he
had found an error had been made.

District 105 had been paid $1,300
belonging to the Estacada district,
he said, but he believed it was still
at the bank and he would have it
transferred. Later, this was done,
he said.
Mrs. Bates was still insistent and
the sheriff told her he bad collected
some not vet turned in and there
were some delinquencies.
He
promised to send her a statement
soon.
At the board meeting Member
Belfils stated he believed the district
was about $300 short in the special
fund a year ago. He figured out
the special tax for this year at 12
mills on a valuation of $989 407
and said there should be, including
the $1,300, about $3,800, instead
of the $432 originally reported.
About $7,640 has been drawn.
It was decided to await the
sheriff's statement and then, if the
district has not received credit for
what is its’ due. Member J. W.
Reed said he would make a motion
to hire au expert and have the
books gone over for two or three
years.
