PEE OFFICERS RAW
The total cost of making the assessments was $25,423.07, and the commission paid for collecting the State's taxes was $10,919.63, a total of $16,313.20 which the Commonwealth paid out to collect $301,275 from Mr. Ryan. In omitted taxes, as a piece of State financing, the transaction is perhaps without parallel in the Commonwealth's history. The net revenue to the State from the whole proceeding is $64,931.50. With the exception of that portion which by law is devoted to the payment of pensions, the entire amount will be applied to the support of the public free schools.
In addition to paying this sum to the State, Mr. Ryan, under the same settlement, paid to Nelson County omitted taxes amounting to $100.12, covering the local assessments omitted intangible personal property and intangible for 1912, 1913, and 1914. Examiner Drummond's commissions for collecting the State taxes amounted to $20,919.12. Mr. Lee's compensation will come from this amount, and is a matter entirely between himself and Mr. Drummond.
