that arrangements have been made with
the Citizeus Bank of Gainesville, Ga., to
take care of the bonds due until taxes are
collected this year.
We find that there is still tied up in the

Tax Collector
We undertook to make an examination
of the books and records of the Tax Col¬
lector but found tiie books not finished on
account of holding outstanding tax ti fas
tux making proper returns so as to enable
her to bring her books up to dale- We are
therefore unable to make a cortect report
of her acDounts until she is able to get the
necessary information together to enable us
10 go into details, and for this reason we
do not undertake to make a report and do
not think it wise to take the time at the ex¬
pense of tire oounty to make a report with
the information now available to us. We
do find, however, that the Tax Collector
has to her credit in the First National
Bank, Gainosviile, Gu., $1985.92 collected
on I93I tax fi fns.
We are informed by Miss Allison that
she. w'U insist on those handling the out¬
