REPORT OF RAILROAD TAX REFUNDED. Stale of Indiana, Jasper county, ss: Commissioners’Court, Juue term,1874.. To the Honorable, the Board of Commissioners of Jasper County, Indiana : The undersigned herewith submits to yonr Board the books and papers showing the plan adopted by him to execute the order of your Board, made at the last December term iu relation to refunding the tax levied and collected to aid in the construction of the Fort Wayne and Pacific Railroad ; and, also, the following statement of the condition of the fund thus held in trust by the county: At the time your order to refund was made, there had been collect'd and paid into the treasury from the assessment, (only the net amount of collections on duplicate of 1870 can be given,} $47,519 18 Interest collected and paid in by L. W, Henkle.... 192 64 Total $47,711 88 There had been paid out at the same time as foUowi: On account of election services $ 36 13 Making railroad duplicate of 1871, and interest on warrants therefor 257 95 Treasurer’s fees for collections, except the fees for collections on duplicate of 1870, which I am not able to ascertain from the records of ray office 362 56 Refunded by order of the Board ,17 91 Erroneous taxes refunded on warrants of the Auditor 7 51 — $ 683 06 Leaviug net amount in the treasury at the time wd begin to refund $17,029 76 Up to aud including this date 2,526 refunding warrants have been drawn on the treasury .amounting to $44,011 94 Of thiaamouut there was refunded for money erroneously drawn on affidavit of’claimant ». 10 09 i Net amount of disbursements to this date. $44,001 85 Leaving amount in tressu ry in excess of warrants drawn ...... $ 3,027 91 The Borrd will notice that the amount remaining in the treasury is divided into small claims, many of them leas than one dollar and few reaching to ten dollars. As these several amounts belong mostly t 6 nonresidents a considerable portion of it, no doubt, will be forfeited to the county fund under the two years clause of the law authorising the refunding ; so that there is now no probable loss to accrue to the people of the county on account of this money passing through their treasury. - - , Thus far no valid claim has been presented for money that has not reached the treasury. In cases whew there have been claims for greater amounts than was charged upon the duplicate, of which cfeas there lum been several, the ruling of this office has been uniformly to refund only the amount charged upon the record, even when the claim was baaed upon the' treasurer's receipt. The grounds for such ruling will be readily understood by persona acqnsinted with the principles of law governing snch (Aymeats. * v Respectfully submitted, Rrnseclsrr, Indians, June sth, 1874.
