SURET|ES 0FtATE
RockLAND OFFICIAL
CALLED TO SETTLE !
(Rockland opinion. May 2o)

At the meeting of the board Of county
commissioners, Tuesday, Messrs.
Franklin Trussell OF Port Clyde, St.
George. and Lewis Hall Of Warren,
who are sureties on the bond Of the late
L. F. Starrett Of Rockland as recorder
of the Rockland police court during the
year 1918. appeared in regard to their
liability as such. Mr.. Starrett died
while in office in January, 1914. and
on the settlement Of his affairs it APP
peared that there was deficiency of a
considerable amount in the payments
into the county treasury of money col
lected by the recorder for fines and
costs in the court. The joint liability
of Messrs. Hall and Trussell under the
bond was, however. limited to $500 and
the county commissioners have recent
ly taken the usual measures for the
collection Of that sum-
Hon. Rodney /. Thompson, appearing
as counsel for the bondsmen, questioned
their liability on the ground, among
others. of alleged laches on the part of
the board of county commissioners.
1t is set forth that a statute requires
the board, at the end of each year, to
make complete statement Of the
financial condition of the county. 1t
will. we understand, be claimed that
the report made at the end of the year
1913 fell short of the requirements of
the statute and was not a detailed re-
port exhibiting 1.-The true state" of the
county finances, in consequence of
which alleged failure to make such re-
port as is required it is contended that
the bondsmen were not informed as to
the facts regarding the recorders ac-
counts and were therefore unable to
take measures to protect themselves
Mr.. Starretts death occurring shortly
after this report was made public.
No action was taken by the board
