THE MILITARY ROLLS.
The County Court Not to Blame for
Delay.

The County Court Not to Blame for
Delay,
Adjt. Gen. B. B. Tuttle has made a
demand of County Clerk Ehlen for the
military lists of Marion County, to
enable him to report to the war de-
partment the number OF men liable
to military duty, This list is to be
made by the county assessor and
turned over to the county clerk with
the assessment rolls, and as it has not
yet come into The possession of the
county clerk that official is unable to
forward the same to the state militia
officer. The law provides that these
rolls shall be reported TO the county
court by the last Monday in August,
| for examination by the court at its
September term. The penalty for
failure TO so report is from $500 to $1,000
Assessor Hobart was seen and says
Ohe reason these rolls were not COM
pleted on the last Monday in August
as required by law is that the county
court failed to deliver the roll book to
him until September 6. lie stated
further that he has been diligently at
work since that date making out the
rolls, and that he now expects TO have
them completed by December is.
The secretary OF state each spring
sends out the blank assessment rolls
to each county, which are printed by
the state printer and thus made uni
form for all counties. These blank
rolls have been in the court house over
six months, but Assessor Hobart did
not wish to use them, and asked per-
mission OF the county court TO have a
book made for that purpose
To suit his own ideas. This
was granted by the court
when asked, but the court deny that
the delay is any fault of theirs
A JOURNAL reporter called on the
court in session this morlng and the
county Judge aud both commissioners
stated without reservation that the
assessor was granted his request al
soon as it was made, and that they
are in no way responsible for the de
lay.
