Expert accountant George Crane presented a four page, three section deficit report showing a cash deficiency of 5206.04 in Auditor Meyer’s office spanning 1898 to 1901. Bondsmen plan immediate covering of the shortfall once verified, with Meyer summoned before the county board to settle the deficit.
Auditors discover a small miscalculation in Expert Crane accounts favoring Auditor Meyer. The error lowers the gap from 5206.04 to 4985.04. It arose when Edward Monnier requested a loan increase from 400 to 600 with $12.60 accrued interest remaining in the mortgage.
Auditor identified misstatements in Meyer accounts including an omitted $24 interest charge and a $167.60 credit omission. Net corrections left Meyer with a favorable balance over $221, cutting his Friday deficit from $5,206.04 to $4,985.04.
Victor Cavalier of Arcola presented a receipt for 800 dollars from Auditor William Meyer Jr claiming the mortgage on Cavalier property borrowed from the county fund was canceled. The mortgage was cancelled and returned to Cavalier, with bondsmen liable for the loss per county commissioners. Cavalier has engaged J B Harper for resolution. No record in Expert Crane’s report due to late discovery.
The Sentinel clarifies a previous report on a mortgage transaction with Victor Cava Mer of Arcola and Auditor Meyer. It states the $800 payment was part of the $4,985 net shortage, not a separate defalcation, and reflects Meyer’s initial admission of the discrepancy.
