E sta ca d a D istrict R eco v ers After discovering $1,319. belong­ ing to Estacada school district, had been turned in to District 105, Sheriff Mass iound another miscue in Oregon City book-keeping, as a result of which Estacada district has $2,619 more. Prodded by Mrs. Sara Bates, school clerk, who on a recent visit learned, to her astonishment, that the district had only $432 in the treasury, a total of $3,938 has t>een found and turned back by the sheriff. The first item of $1,319 was a miscue by Sheriff Mass, who had turned it over to District 105. To Mrs. Bates, he explained, Monday, that the $2,619 still coming, was an error ot the county clerk’ s office, and it happened this way: 4 & On Tim e Deposits A g r e * . to P a y B u t C la im . $ 3 ,9 3 8 . R esu lt of M rs. Bates* W o rk . Mortgage Loans W h e re th e C le rk E rred. The clerk's office wrote down only a tenth of the taxes which the O R. L. & P. should have paid. The railroad company upon being notified of the miscue, a few days ago, agreed to pay what is due the county, but claims a discount of 3 per cent amounting to $328.27. It says it is not to blame tor clerical errors and the county accordingly allows the discount. The total amount the railroad should have paid, less the 3 per cent. is$2,947.37. Where Estacada district suffers bv reason of this error is that this money, which would have been used to take up outstanding war­ rants and thus saved tiie district some money in interets.
