A state audit of Schuylerville finances notes all funds were accounted for while faulting penalties on tax delinquencies and several village claims. It cites penalties only up to 7 1 percent, then set at 35 percent by July 4, rising monthly afterward. The 1937 to 1942 review shows $50.52 more in penalties due, plus 16 village payments lacked proper verification. Four claims were unclearly itemized, including a $434.21 entry. One payment of $162 to Wesley Hudson for bus transport during 1942 was deemed unauthorized by law.
