Sundry accounts receivable of 94,000.02 are listed In detail on the Balance Sheet, Exhibit A, and represent amouts owing for sundry fines, fes, and rentals, from the various departments. Included In the amount Is 9437.17 due from the clerk of the city court covering fine collected and not turned over to the Treasurer, nt December 81, 1033. We took (his matter tip . with ..the ..city clerk during the course of the audit and received Treasurer's receipts for same. In addition to the 9437.17 due the city there r a balance of. 91,320.17 In fines due Utah county which had not been paid Into the Treasury by the city clerk During the course of our arrangement audit, however, were made by the clerk for later settlement of the amount to the county. As to the city's liability to Utah county for this money, Mr. Brockbank, city attorney, Mayor Anderaon by letter under date of March 4, 1030, that the city Is not liable for this breach of dnty, and In my opinion the county wUl have to look to the city clerk for payment or refines'. As an offset to the above, however, the balance sheet shows from City an amount of 9081-4court fees as due Provo city from Utah county and there is an adundetermined amount ditional between July 1, 198 and Novem-- , her 21, 1934 which the City attorney Is now Investigating." Mayor Anderson explained to the commission that further information proved that the amount due the city in the last parainstead of graph was $1587.35. the $681.45 as cited. Mayor Anderson's Explanation. In explanation of the uncovering of these facts St this late date to the public. Mayor Ander- - son made the statement that the audit was public property, and had been handed to the local press at that time but that the press had not given the facts any publicity. Mayor Anderson further pointed out that for eight months no records can be found of city commission meetings during that period, and that the city court to clerk, who was also secreta.-the commission, and city recorder, was not bonded for a period of two' years These farts were or must have been in the full knowledge of the city commission at that time, but no action had been taken by them to correct the situation. "There is a principle involved in this matter, declared Mayor Anderson, which is bigger than any individual's reputation or record. Nothing in American public life shatters public morals and confidence in public officials more than this very thing. I feel it Is absolutely necessary to determine the status of such things now, and fasten responsibility where it belongs. It Is now definitely determined that so far as any action to be taken the responsibility rests with the Utah county commission. County Commission Explains: Chairman W. J.
