Palm man robs motorist while escaping, police say Auditor: Palm Beach needs checks-balances in finances What The Commission Did HEARD design plans for the new Martin County library to be built on Monterey Road next to the county administration building. The money will come from the one-cent sales tax increase approved by county last month. COMMENDED Torrey Fenn, for earning the Eagle Scout award. By STEPHANIE ARTERO Palm Beach Post Staff Writer WEST PALM BEACH When sheriffs deputies tried to capture a man wanted on a warrant Monday, he turned his escape from the courthouse into another crime that netted him $1,000, authorities said.

Someone tipped off deputies that Loic Gas-don, 19, of West Palm Beach was coming to the juvenile court building for a morning dependen Gasdon cy hearing. Gasdon was By TIM O'MEILIA Palm Beach Post Staff Writer PALM BEACH An outside auditor says the town's finance department lacks fundamental checks and balances in some of its daily operations. Control over the town's petty cash fund, blank checks and list of firms it does business with is inadequate, the accounting firm of Nowlen, Holt and Miner concluded after a two-week examination of the town's finance procedures. The company did not say any money was missing. The $40,000 special audit arose from an investigation of Finance Director Marie Crozier, who has been suspended with pay since March 5.

Town Manager Bob Doney said the investigation involves procedures and not mishandling of money. Town officials are withholding the names of town employees who made the allegations against Crozier until an administrative and a police probe are completed, perhaps this week. Crozier did not return calls Monday, and Doney was not available. Doney told council members he would begin work to improve money-handling procedures. The accounting firm recommended that the town establish an internal auditing program, train finance department employees more extensively and update its procedures manual.

Nowlen, Holt also noted that Robert Crozier, the finance head's husband, works for the company that collects money from the town's parking meters. was gone," said sheriffs Capt. Terry Rowe of the court services bureau. Gasdon ran down the fire escape and outside, Rowe said. At the intersection of Third Street and North Quadrille Boulevard, he pushed Rosemene Jean-Charles from behind the wheel of a 1985 white Honda, police said.

Jean-Charles, of Lake Worth, said she was looking for a parking spot when Gasdon opened the door. When he pushed her into the passenger seat and got in, she said she thought, "I'm never going to see my kids again." Jean-Charles told police Gasdon took $1,000 of her money. Gasdon drove to the 2400 block of Broadway, told Jean-Charles to wait in the car and went into a store, police said. But Jean-Charles drove away, pulled into a McDonald's on North Dixie Highway and called police, wanted on a warrant for aggravated battery, according to West Palm Beach police. "He never even got in the courtroom.

National Cremation Soci Project to improve drainage UTILITIES From IB the flooding could have been averted by better drainage, project manager Bill Archebelle said, al though the current project is designed to handle only a 25-year flood. The project also calls for building two small lakes behind the police department to hold storm wter drained from neighborhood streets. Commissioner Charles Foster said he was satisfied with the first portion of the program.

However, the contractor had to redo a couple of streets after residents com-, plained about narrow pavement and a lack of parking space. Foster wants to speak with residents before work begins on the second phase. "We need make little models of cars to make sure everything's going to fit," he said. In the other contract awarded Monday, Erskine Florida Properties of Fort Pierce will lay sewer and water lines to residential areas on the east side of Kanner Highway, south of the school. Homes in the area now use well water and a private sewage treatment facility, which state officials believe is a pollution threat to the nearby Indian River, according to city Public Works Director Sam Amerson.
