He also heartily thanked Mr.. Roberts

appreciated by the department How

Cleary. "are the needs Of our various

More Commissioners
Are in Trouble.

And now it is the Hillsboro board of
county commissioners that is in
trouble. The grand jury's present
ment just made public there alleges
that during the past four years the
county commissioners have overdrawn
their allowances to the amount of
$3,31S.62 and they are called upon to
pay this sum back into the county
treasury
In commenting on the presentment
and the allegations therein, Judge
Wall said:
The Board of County Commission
ers handle practically every cent of
the county's money, and members
should be selected, not only for their
integrity, but for their business sense
and experience. A sum should be paid
the commissioners for their work that
would allow of the best possible class
of men occupying the position"
Judge Wall is eminently correct. but
he might also with equal logic have
advocated a provision requiring all
county commissioners to furnish
bonds sufficient TO protect the county
whose finances they control
A good and sufficient bond would
serve both as a protection to the
county and as a deterrent on the
county commissioner when he was
tempted to go too far in the expendi-
ture of public funds
