WHAT THE LAW SAYS.

Prosecuting Attorney Day Is going
ahead with his investigation and IL is
altogether probable that he will make a
recommendation for an examination. He
has ample authority in the matter and
may proceed in several ways. Here is
one section of the statute under which
he might proceed If the situation war;
rants. s...
''Sec. 1877 r. s. O.-The prosecuting
attorney of the several counties OF this
state, upon being satisfied that the
funds of the county, or any public
moneys in the hands Of the county

are about to be, or have been misappli-

been Illegally drawn out of or with
held from the county treasury, or that
a contract in contravention of the laws
OF this state has been, or Is being exc
cuted, or that contract has been Sc
cured by fraud or corruption, may apply

OF the investigation, the prosecutor
said:
81 have nothing to say. Should any
thing develop or if 1 have anything to
give ont will let you know"
There Is little wonder expressed,
among citizens, concerning the condi-
tion of the Stark county treasury, in
the light of the exposures that are be-
ing daily made, concerning the conduct
of the county's business. The situation
is most deplorable and, while only
specific cases of expenditure are now
under discussion, 1t is believed that a
complete and exhaustive examination
of the records would throw further ligh,
on the transactions. Prosecutor Day
has undertaken to satisfy himself as to
the conditions with reference to the
workhouse, and it will soon be de-
termined where some of that money,
that Is supposed to have gone into the
broom factory, really went. If 1t went
into other parts of the workhouse, it
will be inquired whether, as a matter
to the broom factory, arc not charged
elsewhere. 1t would be poor rule that
wouldn't work both ways in this in
stance. II the accounts are so jumbled
after the auditors handling, that he
cannot tell whether those charged to
the broom factory do not, in fact, belong
to a great extent. to the workhouse
proper, why isn't 1t just as plausible
to presume that some of the accounts
chargeable to the broom shop are in
with the other accounts?
But more will be known about that
when Auditor Reed and Former Super
intendent ]. w. Pontius get them
separated, as the auditor says they will.
DATING ORDERS AHEAD.
1t is just such transactions as have
already been disclosed In connection
with the wor!shoase, that make up the
situation in the various funds. IT seems
very easy to get through bills of large
denomination, such as running 5000
broom factories up to $4,000, and pay
ing $4,000 for an $500 bridge, but the
auditor holds up bills for services rem
dered and If man goes in with a small
bill for labor performed he is treated
like a highwayman. 1t is contended by
those who have received this treatment
at the hands of the auditor, that Stark
county Is desirous of paying all bills
that are legitimate and due, but objects
only to the payment of Illegal bills.
They gay that had the auditor been
as particular with workhouse bills as
he is with some small, legitimate bills,
the tangle that is now about to be
Strengthened out might not have occur
red. 1t 10 said that orders, on many
funds. are dated ahead and that there
Is no certainty that man will get
what Is honestly and legitimately due
him, without having to wait a con-
siderable length of time, after first hav-
ing undergone treatment suggestive of
that customarily received by an escaped
convict. ta
