Upon the release of this money hinges collection of the 1932 taxes in this county, Mr. Peterson stated. statements are ready to mailed and this office ready start the collection of taxes. The only that have not started is that my collection bond for this year has not been issued by the bonding company. called on the company in Chicago last Monday and will not issue bond collector of this county unthis matter the First National bank is cleared. have been informed from newspapers that there rumor circulation that another county treasurer must be appointed before bond will issued. According my best and according to the statements of torneys, would not help matters. the bonding companies will not bond any county treasurer of this county until this money either released or withheld by the stated Peterson. $63,000 deposited in the First National during the tax collection period last year, the bonding company granting the permission and the furnished the same amount of Liberty bonds to be held security the deposit. Now the national bank department of the federal government raises the objection that cashier of national bank has no right to accept deposit and cure with Liberty bonds. Therefore the money not paid over nor does the national bank department refuse to pay The bonding company cannot pay the bond that considered by the government to be similar this will be tried in the federal court Springfield soon. This national bank of Marion, III., and the city treasurer of Marion. The Henry counmoney hinges this If the court decides the cashier has no right to accept the deposit secured by the Liberty bonds, the bonding company will pay to this office the amount of the court should decide that the cashier was justified in acceptthe deposit and giving then the bank receiver will fund to this office the amount the deposit and our troubles will be stated Peterson.

This very simple matter when considered that the man holding my position holds jobs, as lector and as county treasurer. The bond for the county treasuroffice issued the beginning the 4-year term. while the collector's bond issued each year before the collection of taxes start. the collector's bond that question the present time. My treasurer's bond still force and has been in force since took office, said. "City, village and school treasurers seem to the principal objectors to the collections. This due the fact that most of them had tax money deposit in banks that closed during the last year. As this money was distributed taxes did not come under the prior claim right as did the county undistributed money on deposit in the Union State bank in Kewanee," stated Mr. Peterson. newspaper reporter informed that there was rumor current in Kewanee that committee would investigate the reason of the delay in would welcome such investigation any time. My reasoning is that the circulatthis rumor with the meeting the county finance committee set for tomorrow at the court house called by county clerk. This committee spend the day investigating the expenditures of all supervisors of the county all the county offices and nothing to do with the matter of collecting this year's taxes," stated Mr. Peterson.'
