When some corrections are made
the bond OF the Federal Union
Surety company, of indianapolis.
which was offered as security by the
vincennes Bridge company. II may
be accepted by the fiscal court.
County Attorney 'Alben Barley sent
the company a telegram this morn
ing and mailed letter informing 1t
Of the action OF the fiscal court yes
terday in delaying the acceptance of
the bond until next Monday. In the
meanwhile Mr.. Barley has inyesti-
gated the surety company and finds
that the company was on the bond OF
Thomas A. Bridges g. Sons. who con-
structed South Third street with
brick.
IL is believed that the Vlncennes
Bridge company will have the bond
now offered signed by the proper
officials OF the surety company, and
presented to the county, and that
the company will not throw up the
contract as has been predicted. The
county officials want an agent of the
surety company in Kentucky. so that
a suit may be maintained in the
Kentucky state courts.
Better methods OF paying out the
eounty's funds called Forth consider
able talk in the meeting OF the fiscal
court yesterday afternoon. The pres
ent plan of allowing bills through the
court Is admittedly loose, and the
magistrates devoted an hours Discus
sion &c what was needed. to prevent
the county paying bills twice. Some
OF the magistrates favored adopting
system similar to that of the city
in allowing and paying bills. Magis-
trate Broadfoot was vigorous in his
belief that the county needs an audi
tor just as the city has an auditor.
but County Attorney Barley said II
would be necessary 10 see the legis-
Iature before the office of auditor
could be established.
County Court Clerk Boone report
ed that i'm several Instances several
bills for the same account have been
received, and in some instances mis-
takes were nearly made by allowing
the money for two bills instead OF
destroying one bin; but fortunately
the errors were discovered in time.
Magistrate Emery proposed that
the chairman Of each committee he
required 10 sign a voucher for any
order that was needed by any of the
county institutions. The county on
cial will make his need OF supplies to
the chairman Of the committee, SEE
cure the voucher, and then present 1t
10 the dealer. When the bill Is pne-
scented for payment the voucher must
accompany the account. The resolu-
tlop was adopted by the court.
