(Continued from page 1) in accord with -the amount shown in the auditor’s books. The Treas urer’s office is audited annually at the end of the fiscal year on June 30th. Treasurer Dawkins must make a summary of all tax transactions; collections, nulla bonas, amount Mrs^to tax collector.- He also makes a ; summary of all collections and nulla bonas received from the tax collector. The nulla bonas (those taxes. considered uncollectible) are listed by the treasurer and a copy submitted to the Grand Jury which must approve them before they can be stricken from the tax books. Collections and nulla bonas re ceived from the tax collector are entered In the Treasurer’s Dupli cate, which is a record of each individual tax payer, the number of receipt and amount of taxes owed or paid. The Treasurer collects all fees for all offices of the county in the court house, and issues re ceipts therefor. For the Clerk of Court’s office, about 4000 receipts a year are issued for fees paid for recording legal papers. Several hundred receipts are issued year ly for fees and fines collected for each of the following offices: the sheriff, magistrates and Probate Judge. Collections of all types are en tered each day in a cash book journal, and all disbursements are listed in the same journal, then transferred monthly to a general ledger by the Treasurer. Mr. Dawkins keeps a general claims register for warrants is sued by the county. Warrants are written by the County Board of Commissioners, but must be paid, directly or indirectly by the coun ty Treasurer. Mr. Dawkins main tains a control ledger showing amounts of money available for certain purposes, and warrants is sued and paid against those am ounts, giving warrant number, to whom paid, amount, apd appro priation to which charged. A similar control system is kept for funds disbursed for school purposes. Funds provided by the State for school purposes are sent to the county treasurer, who must issue checks to the county Board of Education for payment of the claims against the County Board and the school districts. Of the present 43 mills assessed taxpayers In this county, 10 mills are allocated for ordinary county expense; 6 mills to retire bonds; one mill for the Newberry county Memorial hospital (last year this amounted to $9,854.66; 26 mills for general school purposes and one mill for the County Board of Education, to pay the cost of a county music teacher and for other administrative expense such as mileage and insurance. The Treasurer pays all general obligation bonds and interest on bonds of the county and schools each month or year as they be come due. “It is interesting to note,” said Treasurer Dawkins, “that in 1938 the county bond indebtedness was $1,310,090. These bonds were is sued in late 1920 and eaYly 1930 for highway construction, indeb tedness and other general county purposes. In 1955, the amount had been reduced to $357,000.00 and it is anticipated that the total bond issue will be paid in 1966 at the present millage or less.” Also in 1938, the school system had outstanding indebtedness of $333,553.83; in 1956, the amount had been reduced to $83,900.00, and money bps been set aside to pay that remaining indebtedness. “It could be paid now if the bonds were callable,” said the Treasurer “but they are not call able, so we must continue to pay the principal and interest on thef until the expiration date of the bonds.” The Treasurer keeps a record of all fines imposed by magis trates and by the circuit court. A portion of this money is sent to the Police Insurance and An nuity Fund and the remainder goes into the general fund of the county. Last year, fines in the county totaled $29,959.15. Of this amount $26,992.82 remained in the county fund, and $2966.15 was sent to the Police Insurance Fund. Total receipts by the county for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1955 were $389,787^31. During the same period, the county spent $402,851.77, which shows a defic it of $13,164.46. This, however, was not an operating deficit, as the dounty actually ended up the year about $2600 in the black. The deficit shown is money taken from the sinking fund to pay bond is sues. Receipts for the school system for the 1954-55 fiscal year were $1,538,385.34; disbursements were $1,587,692.91, a deficit of $62,472,- 03. Again, this is not an operating' deficit, but rather monies spent from funds allocated the previous year for construction of school buildings. At the end of each month, the Treasurer makes a report to the Comptroller General, listing re ceipts for county purposes and Court Story . . .
