They have shown me a contract with 0. F. Pippin totaling $431.00 for the well, and an estimate from Indian River Septic Tank Service for $142.52 for the septic tank. As you know, we have agreed to either do these two items ourselves or pay them for them and let them do it later. Mr. and Mrs. Leach now tell me they would prefer to have the money and they will do the items. If you think the County cannot do them at any less cost, it seems to me that it would be advisable for us to simply pay them the money. Would you check into this and if you agree, tell Doug to whom I am sending a copy of this letter, so that he can send them a County check for this item. Sincerely yours, Sherman N.

Moody, County Tax Collector, appeared before the Board with respect,. to the Audit Report of the Tax Collector's Office #4504, a copy of which was filed with the Board by the State Auditing Department of the State of Florida. Mr. Moody tendered to the - 'Board his check in the sum of $1344.60, for the year 1955, and $247.59 for the year 1956, with,., the statement that these checks represented compensation paid by the Tax Collector to Mrs. M. L Moody during the period of time from April 1955 to February 1956, insofar as the total sums ;'',paid to her during that period of time are prorated between the Board of County Commissioners " H ;and the School Board. Mr. Moody advised the Board that he gave the School Board his check in the sum of $275.40 for the year 1955, and $67.41 for the year 1956, which represents their prorata share. These four checks being in effect repayment for all of the compensation paid to Mrs. Moody during that period of time. Mr. Moody further advised the Board that all salaried compensation paid to Mrs. ;M. L. Moody during the period of that Audit report was paid to her for services actually 'rendered to the office and which payment was commensurate with the compensation paid others for e esimilar services. With respect to the statement of the Auditor dealing with Special Drainage ,,Districts, the Collector advised the Board that to begin with, these are really very small i lin so far as money is concerned and that he has set up a system of prorating and charging to ;income received from drainage districts what he considers as its prorate share of the expense of the office. Mr. Moody advised the office that with respect to the audit dealing with auto- mobile expenses, that they were actual sums paid out by him for use of his automobile during the period of time in the course of business of the office, and that the same statement is correct with respect to the amount charged for travel, hotel and transportation expense. With respect to the use of the validating machine, the collector reported that 6 ;the machine has always been used on the collecting of county taxes since its installation, but 'that drainage taxes of all districts until the Indian River Farms Drainage District began using the County form of receipts were hand written receipts because the forms used could not be used in the validating machine, and there are other instances of receipts of the office which are not on forms for use on the validating machine. i Upon Motion made by Commissioner Macdonald, seconded by Commissioner McCullers and unanimously carried, the Board accepted Mr. Moody's statement and the checks, and considers ,the matter closed. The several bills and accounts against the County, having been audited, were I examined and found correct, were approved and warrants issued in settlement of same. Such is bilis and accounts being on file in the office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court, the warrantsd so issued from the respective funds being listed in the Supplemental Minute Book as provided by the rules of the State Auditor, reference to such record and the list so recorded being made a part of these minutes. The County Depository filed its monthly statement, showing.receipts, and dis- bursements of the various funds, which have been audited, were found to be correct. There being no further business, on motion, made, seconded and carried, the Board then adjourned. e CHAIRMAN ATTEST: V.
