At tAe last session OF the illinois Legislature
a law was passed requiring all town oecers
that handle public money 10 publish annual
reports Of their recaipts and disbursements
AS the law has thus FAR been totally ignored
Attorney General Mccartney has written q let.
ter ON the subject, f7om which the following
is an extract:
The law approved May 60 1881, lompels
school treasurers of the various Townships

peryisors of townships in counties under town.
ship organization, to publish annual state
ments of receipts and disbursements. Ii Is
the OPINION that these statements SHOULD show
how much IS paid to each person end what ii
is paid for, making full and comprehensive
report for the information OF the public. These
reports should have been published last Octo.
Der but the Law being new we presume the
various officials overlooked the matter. The
state superintendent has ruled that school
treasurers should make publicsGon after the
April meeting of the trustees Sf schools, and
as the terms of township officers end in the
spring it would be fitting that their reports
should be published at that time. This law is
without doubt a good thing rs it enables every
taxpayer 10 read for himself all the receipts
and expenditures of the various town officers
where the money came froa and where and
for what ii was expended.
