To the Editor of the Downers Grove Reporter: In your issue of June 18th. appeared a lengthy statement signed by the former Village Attorney G. H. Bunge, in which he recites certain conditions for which myself and my associates on the Board of Trustees are criti- vcised. "n Vluu- l have no desire to advertise Vii- )age troubles in the paper. and it is with consider-obit; degree of hesitancy that I make this reply to his communi- ution. I deem it my duty. however. to try and correct some of the false interstices that might bé drawn irom his statement. i agree with Mr. Bunge's 313101119!“ concerning the conscientious per- formance of duties or the former treasurer Mr. J.

A good many things con- fronted the Board with the beginning of my administration which absorbed my attention {or the greater part of the first year. When the Treasurer’s annual state- ment on April lat. 1914, was presented. there appeared to be a considerable cash balance on hand, enough. as I supposed. would be sufficient with the delinquent taxes that would be col- lected by August lot, to take care of the bonds payable at that time. when the funds in the former treas- urer-"a hands were turned over to the present Village Treasurer the amount turned over to him was ”$83.80. 1! anyone knew previous to this time that shortages might be expected, as Mr. Bunge intimates. no word of warn- ing or notice was given to me nor to any of those connected with the Board so tar as I know. l then ascertained that thue was in the course of col- lection aver 814,000.00, that is to any that about this amount had not been pald to our Local Collector rmi had been returned delinquent lo the County Collector. The County Col‘ lector had a return to no later on of approximately $9,800.00, and his untamed! showed iorteituru nmount- lutement wowed lorleuuru Imuuul- in; to over 34.300.00.

It will be noted that Publlc Benefits have apparently been paid out of funds transferred from the Special Assess- ment Funds to the General Funds Inâ€" stead of annual appropriations for stead of al this purpose yv...v.â€". .. Mr. Bongo states that his connection with the Board ceased in 1911. and that the Village records show that up to that time a very tew overdrntts existed. but that before leaving otnce in law that proper resolutions were passed replacing such amounts as had been borrowed from various assessâ€" menta.
