No person who examines the
claims of the members of the board
for their committee service for
several months last past, and now
on file in the auditors Office, can
tell what services were rendered for
which the claim was made. In one
or two instances in Mr.. Lindsay's
bills he stated where he went to for
which the the days service was
charged as follows:
Dec. 26, Trip to Dundee. =. $3.50
Miles 25........... 1.25

In another Charge he gave the
day of the week, to wit:
Nov 20, 1904, Sunday !. $500
Miles 20........... 100

What business he attended to for
the county on that day is not stated.
Tom is bachelor and Sunday even
ing are as rule devoted by young
unmarried men to seeing their best
girl". Of course Mr.. Lindsay was
not engaged in that sort of business,
but where did he go and on what
county business was he engaged in
on that particular Sunday? Who
can tell? Who can tell?

"Lsst year was the first In which the
board has ltemized its bills and expense
accounts in such manner that the
various expenses could be figured in
dollars aud cents. Previous to the
year 1904 the scheme of the board for
conducting the county business out of
session was to provide each memLer
with warrant book, signed up in
blank, and each member was privileged
10 draw money to his own order at such
times and for such amounts as necessi-
ties demanded. Road work, bridge
work and many other items directed by
the supervisors were paid for direct
from these semi-personal funds and
the vouchers returned to the court
house in sort of lump to show for the
expenditure. The system then in
vogue was In reality no system at all,
and nothing but the integrity and up
rightness of the officers stood between
the county and possible wholesale rob-
berry. y y At the April meeting
last year the board adopted new plan,
which was to discard the personal war

plan, the members, instead of drawing
large sums to themselves from which
they also paid themselves for expense
accounts, filed their own itemized bills
for committee work, including mileage
and expenses.
What improvement over the "pos-
sible wholesale robbery" plan is
the new plan of the supervisors?
The new plan having been called to
our attention by the Leader, we de-
cided to investigate it, and did SO,
and found that SO far as the claims
of the members of the board were
concerned no improvement had been
