Gordon Bennett, Auditor of Public Accounts, advising that the report of Musselman and Drysdale on audit of accounts of the for the fiscal county year ending June 30, 1954, had been accepted by his office. Communication was received from the Auditor of Bublic Accounts as follows: "At the time the audits are ma~e of the counties of the Commonwealth, a determination is made as to whether the bond of the director of finance is sufficient as required by law. Since it appears that Section 15-304 of the Code of Virginia places the responsibility of fixing the bond of the director of finance with the Board of Supervisors, we are advising you as to the funds received by the director of finance of Albemarle County for the year ended June 30, 1954 and the minimum bond which it appears that he should furnish so that your board may take such action as it deems proper~ During the period covered by the audit, the director of finance of Albe- marle County received on behalf of the county the sum of $2,104,820.83 (exclusive of fund t~ansfers and interfund loans) and he received for the Commonwealth the sum of $493,017.46, or a total of $2,597,838.29. Included in the receipts for the county~ were proceeds of Literary Fund Loans in the amount of $450,000.00 and School Construction Grants of $76,140.01, which~y be non-recurring. Section 15-304 pro- rides that the bond of the director of finance shall be not less than fifteen per centum of the amount to be received by him annually, or an estimated required bond of $389,675.74, without excluding the funds which may be non-recurring. Since the director cf finance was bonded for the sum of $375,000.00 (e×clusive of bond of $5,000.00 as county executive), his bond would appear to be deficient of the mini- mum amount required by $14,6~5.74. However, were these items which may be non- recurring excluded in the determination of the minimum bond requirements, the present bond would be $64,245.26 more than the~minimum amount so determined.~' After.~. discussion of this matter, motion was offered by Mr. McCue, seconded by Mr. Wood, and unanimously carried, ordering that the bond of the Director of Finance remain the same.
