     The Green County Comission borrowed more than $500,000 from restricted accounts to meet current expenses.  Thats according to a state audit released last Friday. 

   Much of the indebtitude remains in an unpaid condition, according to county officials. 

   Loans totaling at least $320,000 were made from the countys road fund to the gasoline tax fund according to the audit that covered the period from October. 1, 1990 through September 301994. 

   By law, the county's road fund -- called the ``RRR fund''  -- only can be used for resurfacing, restoring and the rehabilitation of county roads. 

   The other loan totaling $100,000 was made from proceeds of the county's 1998 general obligations warrant to the general fund to meet current expenditures. The money from the warrant can be used only for capitol outlay expenditures. 

    The county was notified at the end of July by the state and started a repayment plan then, officials said. 

   Examiners found the county did not follow the bid law on the purchase of cleaning supplies for 1998 and the minutes of county commission meetings was not indexed from June 1997 through Sept., 1998. 

   ``Several county funds had deficit fund balances,'' the audit states.

    County Commission Clerk Tony Sanks says that  steps were taken to repay the loans, with about $175,000 of the road fund loan already repaid.  "We’re taking steps now to pay it off, he said.
