CCUNTYOWING LARGE SUMS IN EXECSSRGLLS Audits for Less than Half of Towns Show Debt over $40,000. Completed audits of the excess lux rolls of nine of Oneida county's 19 towns have disclosed that the county owes the towns more than and that amount, when all of the audits have been completed, will bo substantially increased, the board of supervisors was told yesterday. Excess rolls are produced in the following manner: When town treasurers settle their county taxes with the county treasurer in the spring, they may pay with cash or with delinquent tax certificates. Frequently, in the last 15 years, the towns have paid no cash, but have paid all of their county taxes with delinquent certificates. In some cases, the towns have not collected all their local school and town taxes, and these certificates, along with those representing the amount due the county, are also turned into the county treasurer.

This exces'l of certificate values over the amount due the county is called an excess roll. When taxes are paid to the treasurer, the first income goes to meet the county taxes due from the towns. After enough payments have been made to meet the town's share of county taxes, the collections on the excess are, theoretically, placed in trust accounts for the towns. The towns are required to make audits to determine whether obligations to the county have been fulfilled and. if so.

what the collections on the excess rolls have been. These excess roll collections are payable to the towns. Cassian Has Big: Claim. In practice, the county has been using excess roll collections to finance ordinary expenditures, collections on excess accounts about balancing deficiencies for towns from which no cash is received and where collections are insufficient to meet obligations due the county. The aggregate of the amounts thus due the towns, on completed audit reports, is $43,107.8,7, as follows: Cassian, Crescent, Enterprise, Monico, Pelican, Pine Lake, Three Lakes, Lake Tomahawk, Woodboro, $4,501.99.

Unaudited excess rolls for the remaining towns and the city of Rhinelander total $162,512.86, for the period from 1925 to 1937, inclusive. This does not mean that all of that amount is a county liability, as the county taxes have not been satisfied for a substantial portion of it and the net amount due the towns can- net 1 be-determined-until-completion of audits. The suggestion was made by J. Arthur Tarr, county auditor who has assisted in auditing some of the town excess rolls, that the county arrange to secure a long term loan or float a bond issue to pay the amounts due the towns. The county's unfavorable financial position may make this course impractical, several of the board members declared, and Dist.

Atty. George Richards was asked to investigate the situation. BOARD REFUSES TO SHIFT INSURANCE By a vote of 23 to 3, the board voted yesterday afternoon to kill a resolution (by Supervisor Frank Maloney, Rhinelander) to provide for transfer of. the county's insurance protection for workmen's compensation, manufacturers' and contractors' liability and automobiles to the Employers Mutual Liability Insurance company, of Wausau. Representatives of the company appeared before the board, declaring that they had been unable to obtain a hearing from the county's insurance committee; that they were writing coverage at standard rates, subject to the company's dividend disbursements, and that their Company and its officers were large taxpayers in the county.

The Wausau firm' could save the county about $1,200 to $1,400 per year in premiums, the company's representatives declared. Several members of the board said that the county had been given better service by the Rhinelander agents who now carry the insurance. Unwillingness tP give the im plied rebuke to its insurance com mittee which transfer would involve was indicated as a reason for the vote in opposition to the Maloney resolution. Only the votes of Maloney and Supervisors John G. Schwartz (Hazelhurst) and Rob- eitf Riggle (Pelican) were cast in favor of the shift to the Wausau firm.

Reports of the county highway department, of the county forestry committee and of County Agent Harvey L. Becker were received by the board yesterday. fttE IWtNELANBfcR (WIS.)

Wisconsin public health problems have been materially lessened by the construction of 70 sewage disposal plants well distributed throughout the state and all built with the aid of public works administration funds.

Of the 70 plants, 34 were built or are now being completed with PWA funds allotted under the 1938 act of congress. The remaining 36 were completed under previous PWA programs, beginning in 1934; with -the NIRA. Besides the disposal plants, there have been or are near-i ing completion 86 waterworks, filtration plants and sewer systems, all interrelated with the disposal plants. Thirty-two of these come under the 1938 PWA program and the remaining 54 under previous' programs, making a grand total of: 156 PWA projects in Wisconsin all- having a direct bearing on public health and sanitation. '( Includes Rhinelander Job.

These projects have a total estimated cost of approximately $39 000,000, of which PWA has provided approximately $15,000,000. The 66 public health projects under the 1938 program have an estimated cost of about $14,475,000, for which PWA furnished $6,480,000 of the funds. Similar projects under the. previous totalling 90, lave an estimated cost of about $24 000,000, PWA financing to the extent of $8,470,000.

A number of interesting projects are being handled at the present time by NYA workers in Oneida county, according to Edwar'd Peterson, county NYA supervisor. The projects range from construction of furniture to transplanting of trees. Peterson said that Oneida county, under the new NYA plan of certifications of young men and women to projects, still can employ about 50 more youths.

Fifty are now working on jobs in this county and there is room for twice that number. The NYA has taken over some of the responsibility for certifying youths to the program, in order to better serve the interests of the unemployed young people between the ages of 18 and 24 who are in need and want work, experience and educational opportunities. Interested young men and women may apply at the county NYA office in the Merchants State bank building. Lists Three Projects Six boys recently completed the transplanting of 25 blue spruce trees on the court house lawn, Peterson reported. Seven boys are completing work on the Town Line lake Wayside park project, including the cleaning and grubbing of the park area, clearing the shoreline, building fire places, tables, toilets and trash boxes, and other work of a similar nature.

MAN SETS FIRE; GOESTOCCURT Andrew Lappi, Town of Pelican Resident, Gets Suspended Sentence. Andrew Lappi. town of Pelican was given a suspended sentence in county court today when he pleaded guilty to a charge of setting a fire in a forest area without first obtaining a burning permit from an authorized fire warden.

He told Judge H. F. Steele he did not know that a permit was required to burn grass around his home. The complaint was signed by Francis M. Burke, warden in charge of the Eighth fire protection district which includes Oneida and Lincoln counties.

Burke said about 25 men were called to help extinguish the fire, which got away from Lappi and spread rapidly in the dry grass. Albert Collier of Monico, charged with driving a truck without proper 1 brakes, was fined $2 and costs. State Traffic Inspector John N. Brown, who signed the complaint, said Collier's truck had no rear view mirror, no tail light, no clearance lights, no head lights and no flares. The case of Frank Kiel, of Lake Tomahawk, who is charged with hunting without a license, was postponed until Dec.

18 stocks leaned moderately tor- ward in today's market but many issues were unchanged to slightly lower. It was one of the slowest Saturday sessions in several weeks, with the ticker-tape frequently at a standstill near the start of the flnal hour. Such steels as U. S. Bethlehem Republic and Youngstown moved up fractionally as next week's mill operations were expected to hold at or near the recent record peak.

There was a scarcity of traders in boardrooms and the few who appeared showed no great urge to step out very far either way. Continued business developments were still seen as the favorable principal' anti-selling argument. The European picture again was a minor market influence.
