Berry, former auditor and recently deputy! state bank examiner and now auditor of the new county of Grant. ‘ | Mf Poole’s report deals “with the! question of fees collected during. the | period mentioned. It is. alleged in the report that fees to the extent of $640 were collected but not turned into the county coffers. Mr,. Poole cited the law of the state and decisions at- fecting these transactions. He also found in his report that there was no record in the official bond register of Mr..Bgrry’s bond and nome was recorded ‘in ‘the’ Pégister of deeds’ office, as required’ by law. Search for the bond failed to dis- closets presence among the official records of the county. The board, members of which were recently ousted by Governor Hannaa| directed the states attorney to pro- ceed against Eerry for fees that it is | alleged he failed to turn in to the county treasury.
