Honorable Board of County Commissioners, Rich County, Randolph, Utah, Gentlemen : Herewith is submitted by report of audit of your financial records for the period beginning January 1, 1929, and ending 'December 31, 1930. Treasurers Cash $45,238.48. Certificate of cash balance was secured from the Ogden State Bank. Depository of the fvmv funds dated January 15, 1931, in the amount ' of $41,641.63. It was found necessary to use this balance rather than the closing (balance of the 31st., because of a number of insufficient checks having been received by the treasurer in his settlement of current taxes. The date of delinquency having been deferred to December 20th., the actual balance as set forth on the statement was, therefore, unreliable. As check No. 36 concerns the period subsequent to the end of the year it was added to the balance. Fund Balances December 31, 1980 should (be carefully considered by the Commissioners as the amounts set up present the separate obligations of the Treasury. The County Road Fund already shows that it is overspent in the amount of $932.11. In other words money in that amount has been used in the County Road Fund, belonging to the other funds. If the treasurer were required to pay off all the other funds today he would be short $932.11 The County General Fund should be RICH COUNTY ENDNIG DEC. carefully guarded as the low tax rate reduced it considerably. The County School Distdict obligation to the county of $1,000.00 will help it some when paid. The amount of $35.61, to the credit of County Agent Fund, may be transferred to the County General Fund. A comparison of the fund balances at the beginning of the period audited with those at the end denotes that the expenditures exceed the receipts in the amount or $2i,762.34, (largely on County road,) or an average of $115.00 per month. In this connection, it is suggested that care should be exercised to see that every source of revenue produces as much as possible. In the Treasurers settlement of taxes it is found that Diouble agu? Erroneous taxes are excessive, due to reducting made on cattle grazed in Wyoming. Perhaps 31, 1930 it is alright, but I find nothing in the minutes concerning any action taken by the Commissioers in allowing it. The amount of tax sales is also large. If people can delay paying their, taxes and later avoid pying penalty and costs, they most probably will let their tax obligations go. Current Taxes 1929 $89,452.03; 1930 $77,427.18. Schedule Al denotes that for the year 1929 there was an assessed tax of $94,572.15. Of this amount was collected. In 1980 the assessed tax was $81,567.97 and collected $77,427.18, or there is $12,024.-8less in taxes received in 1930 than A2 also shows in 1929. Scehdule that fewer redemptions were made in 1930 than in 1929. These are a few of the points to be brought out for consideration from $89,-452.0- 3 5 EXHIBIT South Rich Lines YOUNG EVANSTON Laketown Links 0 Friday, Jan. 30th.. the basketball team wTent to Afton, Wyo., to play the Star Valley High School a game.
