FORTY-FIFTH YEAR NO. 44 CEDARVILLE, OHIO, JDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1922 Snttoa Shortage ' Still Grows Tha shortage. in tba county treas- Wy continues to mount wgardlexs of the fact that the former County Treasurer w*a given a whitewash by ■ A grand jury. Sutton faced a shortage of more than $2,600 in county Yunda aa found by State Examiner Clifton. He was given the opportunity of resigning hi* office and paying back the money which he did. He has since moved to Dayton. . The examiner only covered a period back aa far as 1917. When the 1917 delinquent tax book was wanted it could not be found.1The responsibility of the care o f that book was in the hand*, of J. E. Sutton and J. H. Me- Vey, both of -whom served over the period covered by this book and the Sutton term until hie resignation was demanded following the shortage. The books of both Sutton and Me Vey showed that a great amount of delinquent personal tax had not been collected. . When Mrs, Carrie II- Faulkner was appointed one of her first instructions from the examiner was t o . send out notices demanding payment of the de­ linquent- tax. -This amounted to about *$33*000. Until this time, Mrs. Faulk- „ ne** Hus succeeded in collecting about $I7»0.0O of ihat amount. By sending out these notices Mrs, Faulkner bas made many important discoveries. It haS.been found that a large number of these supposed delinquent tax payers were not delinquent but bad paid their taxes and were never given credit for it on the treasurer's books. These receipts accompanied in many instances b y canceled checks have are now in the hands of Mr. Clifton. The property holder^ Jjave paid the tax but the county has never received the . money- due, of the most flagrant violations o f honesty in the conduct of the treasurer's office was found just a few days ago by Mrs. Faulkner -when B» H. Fleming ofvnear Jamestown, a farmer^ known to ihany 'here having oisce resided in this aection,had been over charged $99.81 by Mr. Sutton. iaxk Fleming was summoned to the treasurer's office and with his tax re- cei^ts andr oheckB his payments were XeralcL 4 NEWSPAPER DfcVOifcD TO LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWS AND THE INTERESTS OF CEDAR.

In explanation of the additional levy asked tor by the Board of Edu­ cation will say. Informer years we could make a levy of 5 mill* for tui­ tion and 3 mills for Contingent fund. Now we can only make a levy of 3 mills for both tuition and contingent funds combined which is hot sufficient to. operate our schools, If we could make a levy like we formerly did it would be sufficient, It is important that this vote should carry* We hope the patrons of our schools will -be enough interested in the schools to exert thertlselves in this matter and Bee that this question carries by a good majority on*November 7th. Board of Education. (Editor's Note) The Board of Ed­ ucation is not responsible for the sit­ uation it finds Itself on the matter of sufficient funds to operate the schools. The legislature has set a fixed mini­ mum salary tor teachers. It has re­ quired boards to transport pupils to and from school. It has fixed certain requirements in the way o f bniiding and apparatus. AH.these the board is required to meet. We alt know that oUr public schools could not be opera­ ted on the same money required ten years ago. It should be plain, to the taxpayer and elector then that all of these extra requirements cahnot be met without the money to pay tor them. There are many other items of additional.cost the board has no control over. The most important is the cost of fuel oVe rwhat it was a few years ago. The children mqtt be kept in school and they mush he kept comfortable. The board cahnot do these things with out funds to meet the cost. We have a School of high standing. Let us keep it so and pro­ vide tlie necessary funds by voting fo f tbis small levy on election day.
