up into smaller doses, as follows:


Here we have a total of So7o OF
for I9o6,as against 1875 ia 1905,
making 4 grand total OF $I,84s.o7
of the peoples money unit emized
No one except the parties who got
it knows for what purpose it was
expended or who got 1t. No one
dare deny that this is not only a
hagrant violation of the law, but an
open door for graft and corruption.
Indeed, it defeats the very purgose
OF the law, as it virtually makes the
town sergeant the government, with
the right (if he choose to formulate
bills to suit his own taste aud un.-
known to the people.
Another point we wish to taise j.,
that out Of EL468 81 for stree
purposes, so far as the published
statement shows, the town sergeant
for the year 1927 received So7o. o.
Of the money.
From the foregoing it is plsrn to
be seen that the very man who ha,
custody Of the public fund and
through whom il is possible Tor
leakages to occur without the knoal
edge Of the people, has been declared
immune from the requirements Of
the plain written law. While here
are some people who may lie down
and allow such things 10 20 unpun-
ished, there a'e others that will lea, G
nothing undone to bring the violatDr,
to justice. We would therefore SUI
gest 10 the ex-town officials thsi -
would not only be an act Of Justice
to the taxpayers q Kingwood. but
discretion on their part 10 publish
the claims left out of the statement
that constitute the So7o 81 their
town sergeant vas credited with IN
settlement II the sergeant did not
get all this large sum for his own
services above his salary, the tax
payers want to know and have a
right to know who did get u and FOR
what service performed.
On the other hand.if the sergeant
got It all for services he performed
we have the lawful right to and do
demand that such service bertemized
and published according to law.
The fact alone that The sergeant's
account vas not Itemized and pub
llshed defeats the very purpose OF
the law, and no one knows il better
than does the committee (headed
BY the ex-mayor) who made up,
qualified to, and signed the said
statement as being correct and ac-
cording TO law. TAXPAYER.

Editor Argus.
In opening this subject it is not
necessary that we enter into details.
IL is sufficient to say that the plain,
written law governing the making
and publishing of financial state
ments has for the third time been
violated by the retiring officers OF
k'ngwood corporation
1t will be remembered tia, the
matter was Brought 10 the attention
of the last grand jury, who, 1t is al
legged, found true bills against the
county court aud our ex town coun
Gil. Ii will also b. remembered that
prior To the last town election the
matter To certain extent came up
as an issue in The SAID election, at
winch time 1t WAS admitted by some
OF the oihoial&>and ex officials that
the law had been violated in the
making and publication of former
hnancial statements. 1t was also
stated at that time by some OF the
1907 officials that the records of the
town were IN such shape when they
took charge that no enc could get
head or tail of the condition Of the
towns finances. but that after n
month or more prying into the ma
Ter they had succeeded in getting
the records SO shaped they would he
able al the close Of the year To reH
der Ia, tie taxpayers of the town
such statement as the Law direc $40
be made.
In other words, we were advised
to keep still and look for the 1907
financial statement, as we were adj
vised 10y the machine and its heelers
in 1905 to keep sull and watch for
our 1900 tax bills.
Inc writer about that time was
told by a prominent attorney who
was a member Of the 1900 council
that the statement made by that
council was unlawful, and that he
had SO advised. Strange to say this
same attorney signedthe 1907 state
menJ embracing the identical feat
nrss he had pronounced unlawful as
reL ards the 1900 settlement.
In proof of this charge we will
now take up the reports of the town
sergeants for r9o6-7, upon which
rests the violation of law charged.
In 1900 the report showed the ser
geant credited with 1915, emitting
the fractions for sundries, etc. In
1907 the report shows the same ex-
cept that it is lager sum broken
up into smaller doses, as follows:
