ALL COUNTY BOOKS
WILL Be OPENED
Henry County Commissioners
Tn Hear Boards SUD-
geStions.
PER DIEM BASIS FAVORED.
ONLY $1,000 HAS BEEN APPRo-
PRIATEo FOR THE WORK. BUT
1T is EXPECTED THAT MORE
WILL BE SECURED.

New Castle. Ind. Nov. e7.-when
the county commissioners meet on
the first Monday in December. they
will have before them recommended
tons from the non-partisan board ap-
pointed two weeks ago to formulate
plans for Gn investigation of the coun-
" books by an expert. After the
board, composed of two democrats
and two republicans. had held several
meetings. a plan had been agreed up
on and this is now ready to submit to
the commissioners.
1t is understood that the board as
whole favors the employment of an
expert on a per diem basis rather,
than a lump sum for the work and
will make this recommendation. II is
be lieved that better RESULTS can be OBJ
tanned in this manner.
1t is also understood that the inves-
tigation, instead of covering a period
of six years, will go back to 1892 and
will cover that period when the fee
and salary law was In effect The
offices TO be Investigated are the
Counls duultoT. tEedsufeF, SneTl1I ana
recorder and others If circumstance
justify. This will include the county
commissioners for that period of time.
The board believes that good work
rather than cheap work is what the
taxpayers want and will act on this
principle.
At the present time tiIare is only ST.
900 appropriated for the work but IL
is anticipated that there will be no
trouble in getting the county council
to appropriate more money IL IL is
needed. Should the present appropri-
alton be exhausted when irregulari-
ties have been uncovered. public de-
mand would be almost unanimous for
a further investigation On the other
hand IL there have been no irregular
tiles discovered after the present APP
preparation is exhausted it would be
little use to continue the work
From time to time obstacles have
been thrown in the way of the inves-
tigation but all of these have been
overcome and it looks now as IL the
long demanded investigation is to be
made.

by a farmer residing some distance

tempts were made to buy him back,
but without avail.
The bull grew old and finally died.
