District officials seek tax levy fix amid accounting errors
District commissioners consider changing tax accounting to prevent multi year mistakes after a several thousand dollar error in current personal tax levies. Auditor Tweedale proposes moving ledgers and bills to the collector of taxes office, reorganizing clerical duties, and restricting the assessor to value assessment. A special committee will study the plan and report before decisions. Charles C Rogers, the collector, discovered the excess balance charged against him and prompted the inquiry.
