Queer Appearance Of Two Funds

QUEER APPEARANCE OF TWO FUNDS

IN THE CITY TREASURER'S LAST MONTHLY REPORT

A Dog License Fund is Overdrawn and an Uncollected Tax Account Has Money in It.

There are two funds in City Treasurer Newkirk's official report which present a decidedly queer appearance.

The Dog License fund is overdrawn $313. Anyone who knows what the dog license fund is would say that it ought to be well nigh impossible to overdraw it.

An equally if not more impossible feat is performed with what the treasurer calls the Uncollected Sidewalk Tax fund. This fund shows a balance on hand of $608.71.
