Defect in City Tax Office Accounting Exposed
A serious weakness in Bridgeport tax office accounting was revealed as back receipts totaling about 750 dollars were found uncredited. The Porter estate payment of 532 dollars and other surpluses were traced to a system that records daily balances only in the collector’s hands, not on city books. Officials warn such gaps could invite shortages if staffing changes occur, though current surpluses cover the miscredits. Involved is Collector Donnelly and assistant Frank Allen, with Gotthardt and Hawley connected to the Porter claim.
