Charlottesville, Virginia..
RE;,., .,~2 Stu. a. rt .Hamm~, Treasu~.er Ac..count
P~ntlemen:
Confirming verbal repot made at your last meeting, I
beg to advise that on January 20th, the County ExeCutive and
I, pursuant to your direction, conferred with State Auditor
Downs at h~s office in Richmond relative to charges made against
the abeve.cap~ioned account by Albe__merle County since-Mr. Harem
went out o.f office, amounting to some $600~00.
Mr j Downs advised us at this conference that in order
to es~b~ li. sh the liability of Mr, Hamm in a Court proceeding,
it would be necessary 'for the County to have an audit made of
the County record ,for the years in question and that this would
cost at least $1000.00. He also ind~cated that if the charge
item arose out of a transaction which occurred more than twelve
years ago, it might be impossible to e~tablish the. claim by an
audit and that in all 'like instances which' had:come to his at-
tention in other Counties, the Board had charged such items off
of their Books upon the ground that it would cost more to ob-
tain legal proof than the face Value of the claim.
It .is therefore my recommendation that the above men-
tioned charges against the account of G. 'Stuart Harem, Treasurer,
be charged off of the County BookS.
Very truly yours,
(Slimed)
