NEWS NOVEMBER 2fl, IMS State Audit May Cover Long Period, Order Discloses The audit of financial records 1ft the office of the county treasurer, ordrred yesterday by J. Jay KeH- her, state auditor, following his disclosure that a shortage exists in the accounts of Miss Leah Engen, 39, county treasurer, will cover the period from Jan. 1, 1947, to Nov 18, 1948, it was learned today. In his order, signed yesterday, Kt-liher added that the audit may cover "such prior periods as the stnto department audit finds to be necessary and warranted by closures reuniting from the audit of the period from Jan. 1, 1947, to Nov.

18, 1948." The audit is to be made by the slate department of audit. Keliher filed with County Clerk Lloyd D. Verage a lotter, addressed to the- county board of supervisors, in which he explained his action in ordering the audit. Explains His Action. "My order directing that an dit of the financial records in the office of the county treasurer made was taken as a result of my disclosure that a shortage existed in the county treasurer's accounts-and.

I feel certain, is the same action your honorable body would have taken had it been in session at the time of the disclosure," the letter stated. "Our audit must necessarily cover periods previously audited by a public accountant engaged by the board, for the reason that your county treasurer admitted a short- pge in her accounts existed on Dec. 31, 1947. An audit report by J. Arthur Tarr (Ashland public accountant) on his examination of 1947 Oneida county records failed to disclose the above indicated shortage.

"The order calls for an audit of cnly the county treasurer's records. It does not direct an audit of records in other county departments which were likewise previously examined by- J. Remittance Not Keliher's order cited his authority under state law to audit the books of any town, city, county, school district or. education. Then it went on to say: "A report on 1947 receipts and disbursements of Oneida county filed with the state department of audit-on June 11, 1948, disclosed that a-certain state remittance for utility- taxes in the amount of $3,853.03 was unaccounted for on the county thereby- indicating a' 'possible shortage in the accounts of the county treasurer.

"On Nov. 18, state atidi- torv made a brief examination of financial reports of the county treasurer Which revealed that a cash shortage in her accounts did in-iact exist. The treasurer, Leah Engen, admitted the Corgthatf Jhprtage' existed in her accounts filed with him a signed statement of such admis- siofT."
