Shortage of funds found in Neosho County sheriff audit
An audit ordered by the county commission uncovers a 1052.46 shortfall in delinquent personal property tax receipts. Sheriff David Kern, noting responsibility, says no single person controlled funds and the desk drawer was always unlocked. The sheriff’s department, as collection agent, faced limited attempts to collect and attach property after the shortfall was found.

City water lines clogged threaten Chanute fire response
Chanute faces low water pressure and reduced flow from city mains hindering fire fighting capabilities. Fire Chief Jim Haines notes adequate supplies in most areas but two to three zones lack sufficient water for efficient operations. An $800000 expansion boosted capacity to six million gallons daily, yet deteriorated distribution limits use of reserves. Some hydrants deliver 200 to 500 gallons per minute, reducing pumper effectiveness and risking line ruptures.
