NEW LAW AS To TRUSTEES


The new law requiring township trustees
TO publish annually a report OF their ex-
penditures has already done much good.
There was great pressure brought TO bear
last winter when the Republican Legisla-
ture was considering this BILL II was
passed at the request of many citizens, who
thought the trustees were not, in all cases.
as honest as they might be- 1t requires that
a complete system of books be kept and
that all warrants issued be registered. AT
the end Of the year a fun report of all ex-
penditures must be published Reports have
come to the Attorney-general that two
trustees have already proved TO be dis
honest-one in Madison county and one in
Bartholomew county. There has been an
unusual demand on the Attorney-general
for opinions on this law. which showed a
strong desire on the part of many trustees
TO evade 1t il possible. Some have even
published reports in which they simply gave
the total expenditure from each fund. In
all cases the Attorney-general has held
that this Is insufficient and that every item
must be published. There are LOIS trustees
In the State. and Ii Is an office that has
already been looked upon with great deal
of suspicion. Before this law was passed
they were not required to make any report.

GRAFTON of a stated compensation to per-
form the duties of his position with due

his diligence and skill. But how about the
honesty part? How many employers know
anything about their employees after the

THE DAM is COSTLY
WILL TAKE 81, 400 ADDITIONAL FOR
GARFIELD PARK STRUCTURE.
Park Fund VIII Remain Depleted Till
the Council Acts Upon the New
Appropriation.

Garfield Park furnished the chief topic OF
discussion at a meeting of the park COM
missioners yesterday afternoon. The dam,
which is almost complete. is proving an OBJ
stacle to the board. When the contract
was let one or two essential points in the
work were overlooked, and the board finds
that considerable work will have 10 be done
outside of the original contract. The con-
dition of the dam at present is such that a
smart freshet would probably ruin all the
work that has been done. 1t will cost about
s., 400 in addition to the amount already ex-
pended to remove the difficulty and make
the dam safe. The board discussed the
question for an hour yesterday, but reached
definite conclusion. The park fund is
sadly depleted, and one or two members of
the board object TO making new contracts
until the Council has acted upon the appro-
priation recommended by the finance COM
mittee at its last meeting. H. Clay Allen
objected strongly to the proposition of
Colonel Perry to go ahead with the work
II want to stick to the rule laid down for
us to work by" said Mr.. Allen. 'It would
be penal offense il we should go ahead
and make contract involving a large sum
of money without this appropriation"
But, my dear sir,'' said Colonel Perry
1--WE can't always stick TO the rule. IL fol-
lowed the rule laid down by our railroad
company the station here would have to
shut down in one day. We have to take
chances" The engineer of the board, who
Is familiar with the condition of the dam,
told the board that 1t would be safe to
postpone the work for two weeks but he
did not think there should be a longer de-
lay. The board will advertise for bids on
the necessary work.
