Thomas J Todd deputy treasurer of Renrico County Richmond Va April says he has reason to believe the reported shortage of 440000 is greatly exaggerated and will be explained. He asserts discrepancies will clear any dishonesty and that a large part of the shortage will be accounted for. He cites an $8000 overcollection in the January settlement and claims the 5 percent penalty was profited from by delaying tax payments.
