Boyd, County Judge, end Honorable Members of Commiss!. oner s CcP.r t, Calhoun CoUnty, Port LavaCll., Tem s. Gent1emen:- Pursuant to our contrect and agreenent dated March 27th, 1939 and as amended April 5th, 1939, we ha ve commenced an audit and examination of tm financial trans actions of Calhoun Coun- ty and of the various officers of Calhoon County, for the period JanU!lry 1-1935 through April 6-1939. ~ During the progress of our, investigation, we have cOllle upon the following facts and cir- cumstan,ces regarding the cOllduct of the officlal duties of J. S. Boyd, County Treasurer which are of such a nature 'that we belie ve a tenta tive report of same is necessary,at this time. ,It is our opinioo based on an examination of actual checks is sued by said J. S. Boyd as CQJ.nty 'rreasurer} payable to himself persenal1y "J. S. Boyd" and marked in all but a few In- stances "CommisSlC!lS" on the face of each check, that tm said J. S. Boyd as County Treasurer paid over to himself as commissions for the receiving and paying out of County fume, during the years 1935, 1936, 1937 end 1938 and during the J'ear 1939 from January 1st through April 4th, the fo110wlng sums of money:- For the year 1935 1936 1937 1938 January 1 thro' April 1 1939 Of a tota 1 for this per iod of $4,676.61 4,488.89 ? ,381.70 8,873.70 2.723.47 $28,143.37 I It is our further opinion based en tre endorsement of J. S. Boyd on the back of each such oheck aforementioned and by the perforated said stall!P of the First State Bank of Port Lavaca, Texas that the said J. S. BoYd withdrew the sum of IlDney represented by each check from the varous County Road,D1stria t am Drainage Distriot funiS, under his oare supervision, as County Treasurer, as evidenced by the fUm upon which each of the checks aforementioned was drawn upon. It is our further opinion, based on an examination of certain deposit slips in the said First State Bank of Part Lavaoa, Texas, and upon conversations bad with offioers of said bank, tlBt the mid J. S. BoYd either received o ash from said oonk or credit on his personal bank'ao- count in said tank tor the amoont of money repre Sa:! ted by ee. oh Slch check aforementloned,there-i by conver ting tm total amou nt of mone y so withdrawn from tm County Road and Dra inage Dls tri cts of tm Coun ty to his own personal U6e. ' Though our audit is, as, yet uncollpleted, weare unable to find in the records of said J. S. Boyd'as Oounty Treasurer or.in enyother records 01' Calhoun'CQJ.nty, Texas, where tlE said J. S. Bo:id returned or repaid to the County or any of the Road or Drainage Districts from which said money'was withdrawn, any of the said IIIOney. Article 3941 authorizes the Commissioners Court to f1xthe alllOunt of commissions the Coun- ty Treasurer shall recal ve for re celving a nd pay iQ?; out tu nis . Article 3943 fixes the maximum amount the CoUnty 'l'reasurEll' shall receive as oommissions in a County having the popUlation and valuatien ofCalhQJ.n County at not to exoeed $2,000.00 an- nUally. On January 11-1928, at a r~ular session of the Commissioners Court as recorded in Volume Ft Page 618, "Minutes of Commissioners Court", the Commissions_of the' Ccunty Treasurer was fix- ea at 1% of all money received and 11. of all_money paid out, other than sohool funis:- provid- ed, that in no case shall the commissions received by said CQJ.nty 'rreasurer exceed the sum of ljil,050.00 1br the year 1938--providing furtheL', that the said John S. Boyd, personally, shall payout of his ,private funds 1ile premium of $400.00 on,his surety bald and $50.00 safety deposit box rental. I We cen find no fUrtrer order of the Commissioners Court changing increasing or deoreasing the rate of commissiOlls or tb3 maximum commission to be reoeived by t~ County Treasurer annau1- ly; the re tare. iti s our opinion tmt the annual oommissions to be r ece1 ved by the County , Treasurer during the period January 1st., 1935 through April 5th, 1939, were not to exceed the sum of ~1,050.00 annUally. Basad on these facts and circumstan ces, it is our opinion that the County Treasurer paid over to himself ani received cOlD1lissions in excess of t hose allowed him by the a foreme1i.t.ioned ~ reo order of theCommission~ CC1Irt during the period aforementioned, as follows: For the year $3,626.61 3,438.89 6,3;)1.70 7,822.70 2.460.97 $23,580.87 I 19315 1935 1937 1938 1939 Tot al for t te pe rio d The excess oOlllll1issions 1br 1939 are OOllput8i on the basis of total commissions reoeived, ' less a pro-rata of tte %11,050.00 annual maximum canmissim for three months aggregating $252.50 1br each of the otter years by deduoting from the total commissions reoeived the maximum annual oommissions allowed, tow1t:--$l,050.00 ' , In mr examination, we find tl:Bt tte total oOlllllissl.ons as shaNIl, intm qterter1y reports of the CC1Inty TreaSurer filed vrlth and approved ,by tl:e commissicners Cwrt, did not correctly stat,e the commissions paid by the'CC1Inty Treasurer to hims,elfby tl:B aforementioned cbecks dur- ing the pe ri od cO\' ered by sai d reports. ' We are informed by tm COlntyJudge and the Members of the'Commissioners CC1Irt tint the' checks drawn for oommissions by the Cwnty Treasurer did notaccol!pany his quarterly reports, whi ch were based on receipts issued by him and warrants issued by the County Clerk end paid by him during the period covered by the reports. We also find that the cash balances in the COlnty Deposl.tory on tlE dates mentioned in these quarterly reports did not oorrespond with the balances in the various finds a's shown by said rep ort. We also examined the annual report of tl:B Cmnty, Treasurer required by Art101e 3897, as a- mended and filed by him with the District and COlnty Clerk fbrtb3 years 1936, 1937 aM 1938, wherein tlB said County 'i:reasurer swore thet all fees and oompensations whatever oollected by him in his of fio ial capaoi tyd ur ing the fiscal ye ar end 1ng December 31- 1936 1937 1938 was was was, $l,llO.91---checks drawn 1,1315.24 ohecks drawn ,1;161)~55 checks drawn $4,488.89 7,381. 70 8,872 .70 I ~. We are attaching a stateIMnt sl:Dwing in deta'll the amount of commissions cOl7ered, by,checks drawn against each of tl:B several 'funds during each year mentioned herein. We are filing herewith tl:B actual cb3cks themse'lvesfor the years 1935,1935, 1937 and 1938, sorted out by funds and with an adding machine tape sho.virg the total for each fund. The checks for the ~r1od beginning January 6th, 1\139 through April 6th, 1939 are still in the First State Bank of Port Lavaca, Texas, where they were examined by us~ ThisreJ;l)rt is not to be construed as a final repcrt by us, but merely 9S a tentative re- port made at this time for the purpose of acquainting theCoort oftlE unusUalconditi<n exist- ing in the office of the County Treasurer.

D. 1939, all meI;lbers be ing present, the "otre r report", referred to above, was s ubmi tted to the Court,as follo~s: I I Port Lavaca, Texas, April 19, 1939. Hon. J. p. Pool, Judge, 24th Judicial District of Texas: I In obedience to the specific in- i structions given by your Honor to this Granl Jury, and. also mindful of our sworn Iluties as ~grand. jurors for this County, we have diligently inquired into and investiga~ed the circum- stances sourrounding the unfortunate shortage in our County Treasury. ~e have had numerous iwitnesses before us in this matter, incluc':.ing the County Judge and all members of the Commis- ISioners' Court, the Cashier and other officials and employees of the local DepOSitory Bank, and Imany others. That an immense amount of money has been misapplied and embezzled from the County i Treasury cannot be questioned, and we pl'Gsent bills of in(iictment herewith against the man who was County TreaSUrer during the period when this shortage occurred. ~e have made extensive in- Iquiry and investigation to determine vmether we could secure definite and legal testimony prov- i ing criminal culpability of any other parties in connection with the taking of these public lfunds, ani to that end have had numerous local citizens before us, as well as the County Treas- lureI' in question, but the fact that no 0 ther im:1ctments are presented in this matter evidences ,that we were unable to get such proof or such testimony. I Our investigations disclosed tlIDt a better and more modern system of county bookkeeping is 'needed by our county. In these inquiries we wer'e aide,:1 a great deal by the expert and. ex- cellent advice of Th~. James F. Houlihan, Auditor and Tax Consultant, recently employed by our ,County CommiSSioners' Court to make a complete audit of the affairs of this County. Mr. Hou- Ilihan has had considerable experience in consulting with governmental bodies with referGnce to their financial affairs, ani in auditing their books and making reco~nendations concerning im- provements therein. He has been before us in most of our investigations, and has been of in- valuable service to us. At our request, he has made out a list of suggestions for improvements !in the system of bookkeeping for this County, and we incorporate them in this report as a mat- ,ter for study and adoption by the Commissioners' COUl't. They follow: R E COM MEN D A T ION S I 11. That the Commissioners' Court procure a well bound ledger and index, to be known as the ..... "..- Vi {. ~U Finance Ledger, and shall cause the County Clerk to op~n and keep in said book an account with, each officer of the county, disti'ict or state, who may be authorized or reQuired by law to re- ceive or collect money or other property for the use of or belonging to the county, and to keep such book in the manner required by Article 1607, R.C.S. 2. That the County Clerk be required to balance -each- account so kept in the Finance Ledger, and to file a sworn statement of same with the CommiSSioners' Court in the manner ani form am at the times as specified in Article 1608, R~C.S. I 3. The. t once each year, after the Firs t Regular Tenn of the, Conuniss ioners' Court, the County Clerk shall publish a financial statement for the preceding year in the manner and form re- quired by Article 1609, R.C.S. 4. That thG Commissioners' Court require that all of the officers described in Article 1617, R.C.S., sPBll make the reports required by said statute. That the said Commissioners' Court shall carefully examine the same, and if found correct Shall cause the Clerk to enter the S8.JIB in the Finance Ledger, and if found to be incorrect shall summon said officer befm'e them and have the same corrected. 5. That the County Clerk shall be required to keep an account in said Finance Ledger with t~ County Treasurer, in which said Treasurer shall be charged separately vdth the amount of each fund for which he gives a receipt to the sheriff, collector or other person paying the same into the Treasury; and such Treasurer shall have credit for all moneys paid out by him when the Commissioners' Court has approved his reports of the same, and for his legal commissions. 6. That the Commissioners' Court Shall require the Treasurer to file vdth his quarterly re- ports a certified sttement by the designated County Depository shOWing the balance in said De- pository for the credit of each said fWld'covered by the Treasurer's report at the close of business on the last date covered by said Treasurer's report. And that the Commissioners' Court shall check the receipts ani disbursements as shown in said report with the vouchers, checks ani warrants covering same, and shall then compare the balances in each fund as shown by said report with the cash balance in the designated County Depository, as shown by the certifi- cate of said depository. 7. That the Commissioners' Court shall compare the report of the County Clerk provided for in paragraph 2 of these reco~nendations with the report of the County Treasurer provided for in paragraph 6 of these recommendations, and should any differences be found, they shall requtre the County Clerk and the County Treasurer to reconcile and balance the same before giying their approval~ to same'. -L:' , I 8. That the Commissioners' Court'slmll fix the rate of commission and maximum compensation of the County Treasurer for each year at the regular January session of the Commissioners' Court. That they shall establish and set up a fund to ,be known as the County Treasurer's Salary :E'und. the.t they shall cause to be transferred into said ,fund an amount equlvalent::to the maximum an- nual compensation of said County Treasurer as fixed by the Court, plus the premium on the sure- ty bond v~ich the County TreasUl'sr is required to furnish by law. That said transfers shall be accomplished by applying the rate of commission fixed by the Court to the monies received and the monies paid out of each of the several funds by the Treasurer, until the amount'so accumu- lated shall equal the maximum annual compensation allowed the County Treasurer plus the premium on the surety bond aforementioned; whereupon all furtmr transfers to such County Treasurer's Salal~ Fund shall cease for that year. 9. That in fixing the maximum compensation of the County Treasurer the Commissioners' Court shall reQuire that said salary be paid in twelve monthly installments of eCiual amount, payable on the first of each month beginning with February 1st of each year. 10. That the Commissioners' Court shall allow exofficio salaries each year at the regular Jan- uary meeting of said Court. I 11. The. t all the acts or orders elf the Commissioners' Court fixing compensation of officers, deputies or employees be spread upon the minutes of the Court. 12.

D. 1939, at a Regular:Term of the Commissioners' Court of Calhoun County, Texas, all ;"embers being present, there vIas presented to the Court a suggestion relative to mainta ining the County Agent's office at its present lo- cation at all timas, as follows: . Port Lavaca, Texas, April 25th, 1939. To the Honorable Commiss ioners' Court, Calhoun County, Port Lavaca, Texas. Gen tlemen: Fe, the undersigned County Committee of the Calhoun County Agricultural Conservation Association, suggest to you that arrangement of offices in the Court House be madein such fashion as to enable the maintaining of the of fice of t he County Agricultural Conservation As- sociation at its pI'esent location at all times. This suggestion is made upon the assumption that such an arrangement is practical. In making this suggestion we would like to call your attention to the fact that pay- ments made by the Agricultural Adjustment Administration to fal~ers in Callwun County for par- tiCipation in the v~rious farm programs are in excess of $891,000.00 for the period 1933-1938, and it is felt that this amount is sufficient justification for the Commissioners I Court to designate the offices now occupied for the sole use of the County Office of the Agricultural Conservation Association and the County Agent. TIc would further call to your attention that payment to farmers in this County will aggregate more than $l,eee,Oeo.oo by next February. I Thanking you for consid.ering the suggestion made, and for acting favorably upon it, we are Very respectfully yours, ., FRED SKOGBERG, C. A. CROBER, ED MAREK, County Cownittee, Agricultural Conservation Association. ~ "...- '18 ~G , , \ .'c -- - - - II i~ ( , . ! ;1 " .~ ... , li~ -~ ..~ , ,:C .r ,- ( " t t- o . ( ,0) .

FiE-he r and Chief Deputy W. F. Tan",er, respectfully recomme",d to the Honorable CommisBioncrs Court of this Cou"ty that the, following improveffie,.,ts and repairs be made to said Jail as soon as possible, First: That the roof be completely repaired so as to stop all leaks, Second: That all sanitary facilities be repaired or replaced so as to put them i!'. first class condition, and we especially :..'ecomnerd that a shower bath be installed so that prisoners may bathe themselves. Third: 'rhat all rusted out sell sections' be cut out a.,d "ew sections welded in so that the Jail will be escape proof. This will also take care of the rusted ,out floor sections and make it much more sanitary, I Fourth: That the e"tire inside of the Jail be refinished or repainted as required. Fifth: That a satisfactory bath room a"d fixtures be i";;talled fer the Jailer's 'family, or, better still, that a suitable cottage be built southeast of the Jail for the Jailer to occupy so that the e'1tire Jail may be used for the prisoners, and so the Jailer's family, will .,at be s,ubjecteto the profane la.,guage used by dru'1kel" priso'1ers. In our opinion a good substa"tial cottage ca'1 be built for a reasonable sum, to house the Jailer,'a~d this would be much safer for the Jailer's family i" case of a"y attempted jail break; a.,d the lower floor of the ;rail would be available to law e.,forceme'1t officers for jailing dru"ks, mal:i"g it u,.."eces- sary for them to have to carry these drunks up the circular stairs as they do ,.,ow. By usi"g the e~tire Jail buildi"g for priso~ers, the wome~ and children could be placed apart from harde"ed criui'rlals, as they should be, rather tha,., all bei ~g on the .same floor, where the women priso"ers may be subjected to insults from the me". 'l'he deli"Quent children wouicl also be less likely to, become hardened by direct co"- tact with crimi'1als.
