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
