present some of the details found in
making it.
The Sheriff, W. L. Campbell, has
collected taxes on the rolls in his
hands as follows: 1899, $12.94; 1901,
$207; 1906, $137; 1907, $1.14; 1908,
$14-17; 1909, $73-43; 19*0. $15-27; *911.
$590.15; 1912, $604.31; 1913, $6112.54,
1914, $7,800.78; 1915, $15,90439; 1916,
$3,050.72.
His collections on the current roll
for 1916 amounted to the sum of
$403,089.14.
All of the amounts have been regu
larly deposited in the County Treas
ury, as collected, and the Treasurer’s
receipts therefore are of record in the
sheriff’s office.
The last deposit was made the 31st
of December, 1917, and it included
everything which had been collected
to that date. The sheriff is entitled to
be released on his official bond.
The sheriff has collected and de
posited during 1917 the sum of $85.60
from milage and fees of service.
The county clerk Erwin Harrison,
has collected fees etc, coming into his
office the sum of $5,274.64. which he
has deposited in the treasury, with
the exception of December fees,
which I requested him to not deposit
until I had finished the audit.

The clerk has been diligent in
handling the business of the office,
and has made a good record for a
first year. He keeps the office up with
the work, as well as any could do, and
conducts it in an economical manner.

I compiled this statement from his
receipts, issued for money received,
and the credits from the cancelled
vouchers he filed with the county
clerk, those documents of original
entry which would have to be pro

In making this audit I have used

in doing a business with the vail Co

to look further than the iinmedial

any one has anything to offer to htl
