BOARD STILL DELINQUENT

Among the powers and duties o
boards OF education in, cities of tel
thousand or more inhabitants as pre-
scribed under Section go Of the code
of public instruction is the following:
ITO make as soon as possible after
the close Of the school year an an
nual printed report to the taxpayers
of the district, showing in detail the
receipts and disbursements of the
school funds"
Although School District No / for
the last three years has been in the
class to which this provision applies.
1t has SO far been absolutely ignored.
No pretense is made by the board of
education Of informing the taxpayers
of the true condition Of the distric-' 5
finances. The law requiring such a
report is just as explicit as the laws
requiring annual or semi-annual re-
ports from county or city officers and
these are obeyej without question.
For many years there was COM
plant among the taxpayers that they

cast, as compared with less than a.
hundred each year before. the MAX
Ing Of frequent financial reports was
made the paramount issue. The adj
VOcatcs Of such a reform won a !
notable victory. but. strange to re-
late. the financial reports to which
their candidate was pledged have
never appeared. although four years
have been allowed for the fuIfllment
of the promise

offer for their delinquency in this re-
spect no apologist has ever yentureu
to say. They are probably going on |
the policy Of the public be damned"
Perhaps it is pure negligence ana not |
intentional violation of the law shat
the members of the board have sworn |
TO uphold. But whatever the reason |
for the failure to observe the plain
mandate OF the law. it is becoming |
more ana more a subject Of unfavor-
able comment among taxpayers. and |
il the board does not soon redeem il
self by compliance with the law. We
may look for the making of full fnan-
ciaI reports again to become the lead
ing issue at the next school election
and the result will be a new deal aIII
around.
Section IS Of the school law SAYS:
The county treasurer shall be the
eN-officio treasurer OF the board Of IL (.
rectors; he shall prepare and submit
TO the secretary in writing on the
first day OF January. April. July and
October Of each year a report of the
state Of the finances. AMI shall paw
school moneys placed to the credit
Of the district only upon warrants
signed by the president or by a ma
jority Of the board of directors and
countersigned by the secretary"
The part of this section recurring
the making Of quarterly financial re-
ports by the county treasurer to the
school board is also ignored.
The only financial report ever made
by the board IS the general report
given by the secretary to the comfy

the U nited States Trust Company, was
severely injured in a railroad accident
at Reno, New, Saturday afternoon.

parted. He was thrown between the
cars but retained his presence of mind
and rolled off the track in time to
avoid the wheels of the coach His
left leg was cut painfully, two RIBS
were fractured and mis- right shoulder
dislocated. His escape from death
was narrow.
Frank Beard and Miss Eva Hensley,
of Hadinsburg. were among those on

Trouble Over Hogs

Felix Beavin and John Weatherholt,
who live on adjoining farms near
town, had trouble over some hogs last
Saturday. The story, as near as the
particulars can be learned, is as fol-
lows: Weatherholt's hogs got into
Beavin's cornteld. Beavin then went
over on Weatherholt s place and, after
abusing him about the matter, felled
him to the ground with club, and
then ran. Weatherholt' son, Bernie,
thinking his father was killed, ran
after his assailant and cut his finger
with a corn knife just as he leaped
over a fence. The blow Weatherholt
received was painful but not serious
and he is able to be at his work this
week
