by State Examiners.

Under the heading This Town Is
Easy Pickin' Jacksonville COJ paper
reprints from the Columbus Citizen the
following account of the results Of an
investigation of that town by the state
examiners:
The examiners say that Auditor

fairs and that Treasurer Aumillcr sign
ed both his own name and that Of the
auditor to all vouchers
The police department kept no rec
ord of arrests, the fire department no
record of fires. and the sinking fund
had no minutes
Mayor James Sharp did the plumb
ing for the city. Councilman Price sold
all the supplies, and Member of Board
of Service Silcott furnished the coal to
the light plant
Councilman Emmett Keenan, is also
city engineer, and his Office kept no
records of plats, and nothing could be
found out as TO the cost of street i'm
provemcntS."
The examiners also reported that the
electric lights cost Jacksonville SSH
4 year. When asked for1uore detailed
information citizen of high standing
wrote:
Figures of Examiner Smith do not
include depreciation. interest, insurance
or water. Arcs are supposed to be 1000
candlepower burning on moonlight
schedule. Few nights if any pass with
out some lights out. and often all are
cut the entire night. | understand that
the local electric light company agreed
to furnish the same lights for SEQ per
year each, with a percentage off for
outage
When the waterworks were operat-
ed alone the net profit per year was
about 5000. Since the light plant was
started the waterworks have run in
debt and this in the face of the fact
that they are pumping less water at
higher prices than before. the advance
in price amounting to about $1,000 per
Year"
