Bonds # 209133 & 209134 Re Payment of Shortages in Accounts, Mrs. Marjorie E. Burkhalter, Former Tax Assessor-Collector, Brazos Co., Texas. Gentlemen: ` I am enclosing herewith checks from the Columbia Casualty Company as follows: r t 232 t ~y i t' a f 1 I ' Check # 117035, payable to The County Judge, Brazos County, Texas $474. Check # 117036, payable to The Governor of the State of Texas 152-65 These amounts are the same as those shown as balance due in letter from County Judge A.S. Ware to us, dated Dec 26, 1958, and received by us Dec. 27, 1958, in the shortages of Mrs. Marjorie E. Burkhalter accounts. We will appreciate it very much if the Commissioners' Court will accept these checks by proper order as payments for these shortages determined by the County and State Auditors. We request that the County Judge sign the duplicate releases for the county payment, if found in order, and also have proper..authority sign the release in duplicate for the State of Texas. The amount due the county has been established for some time, but the shortage in the accounts due the State of Texas so far as I have been able to lesin was not definitely established until the last days of De- cember, 1958 I believe the letters of record in the minutes of the Commissioners' Court will bear this statement out It was my understand - ing that the County Judge preferred that the settlement for both short- ages be settled at the same time Our company has been anxious to get the matter settled since it first became known that the shortages existed. The delay was due to the fact that the amount due the State of Texas has just been finally determined in the last days of December, 1958, so far as we know We trust that your minutes will record that the matter was satisfactoril handled Sincerely yours, /a/ A S McSwain /t/ A S McSwain Insurance Age cy On motion duly made, seconded and unanimously passed, the Commissioners' Court accepted the amount of $474.40 enclosed in the above letter as full sett Le- meat of the Marjorie E. Burkhalter account, and ordered the County Judge to execute the releases.
