We clip the following from the re-
port of the Grand Jury of Allegany
county, made to the Circuit Court at
Cumberland, last week: without
going into minor details we would
call attention to the fact that in the
bridge and road account the increase
in deficiency for the year 1901 has
amounted alone to $36, S78.79, and
said account is now overdrawn to the
extent of over 100000, which expendi-
ture is not justified by the visible
improvements on highways, and that
the financial affairs of our county
have been recklessly and extravaganza
~ mismanaged."
