Auditor's Office Work Explained by Elliott
Deputy Auditor Ralph Elliott of Nelsonville described Athens County government operations at the Rotary Club. He noted a 33 million dollar tax duplicate, a 21 thousand dollar overdraft at start of 1941 ending with 7 thousand overdraft, and 139 thousand four hundred dollars spent that year. Bonds for relief costs raise county debt to 129,650. some bond payments rely on delinquent taxes or the general fund. Tax duplicate reductions, loss of taxable property to federal ownership, and motor vehicle tax shifts reduced local revenues. The auditor's office handles auditing and payments, weights and measures, dog taxes, budgeting, and tax duplicate creation for 45 districts. He expects earlier tax collection next year due to preliminary steps underway.
