Trustee did not draw any salary
in 1906. but in 1907 by voucher;
Nos. $50 and 3SS, he drew the
sum of Fifteen Hundred Seventy
Six and 80 (15.6.50) for 1906 and
1907 salary.
That he paid John w. Parks
for collecting transfers 1907 fol
Brightside Julia f Works
| SCHOOL, the sum of 800.
For 1908.
I'VE note that Fred Corse
Trustee paid himself for services
as Trustee for 1908 the, sum oi
| S654.OO.
That he paid VIM. Everly, a
supply man $4,000 for supplies
bought by c. p. Jackman eS
trustee in 1903.
We note that expenditures foi
supplies in 1905, 1906, 1907 and
1908 were in SUMS as follows
(omitted)
Total amount expended by
Fred Corse for supplies in the
years 1905, 1906, 1907 and 1908
Ifor which no itemized bills could
be obtained $94S5.20.
We repeatedly asked the said
Fred Corse to furnish iterniZed
statements of his supplies but
failed in each instance to get any
except for purchases from local
dealers and a few for insignif-
cant amounts from supply
houses. We are for this reason
unable to determine in many in
stances the kind. number and the
amount of supplies purchased.
Upon inquiry and observation
we find that many OF the sup
lies in the Schools are mnec-
essary; that many OF the road
tools are unnecessary and un-
used; that the Trustees office
fixtures and supplies would not
Indicate that there had been
made such enormous eXpendi-
lures for Township and Office
supplies that there is now stor-
ed in the Trustees office charts
portfolios and cabinerts which
are unnecessary and unused.
| We believe Fred Corse, former
trustee of Center Township
Marshall County, Indiana, made
very extravagant and frequent
" illegal use of the funds OF the
township.
| Me believe that the said Fred
lCorse is indebted to Center
Township, Marshall County, In
drama. for the eNpeditrres as
above listed for the following
reasons
That no appropriations were
made by the Advisory Board
| that said Trustee failed to adj
| vertise and let : contracts fol
School Supplies in compliance
with the laws OF the State o.
Indiana that articles purchased
were unnecessary and that the
prices were excessive.
We therefore find and it is or
Judgment that Fred Corse, to-
the reasons above stated. i
