Report Of Commissioners of Accounts
The Cost of This Publication is $500.

Hon. j. M. Jackson, Judge Lee Coun-
ty Circuit Court. Spring Term. 1918.
Your Honor:
We. your commissioners of ac-
counts would most respectfully SUBJ
NIT this report of our examination of
the books and accounts of the several
offices and custodians of the funds
Of Lee county:
We find that the magistrates OF
the county have made their reports
to the quarterly courts as required
by law, and seemingly made due re-
sorts of all business coming before
them with the exception of X. r.
Price of Hampton township, whom
the county Judge informs us has fall
ed to account for certain fine ass
essed and partly collected to which
the attention of the grand jury was
called last October term of your
honorable court. We find that the
sheriff and constables have made due
accounting for all fines and penalties
entrusted to their service with the
exception of Special Constable J. A.
Kennard of ST. Francis township, who
stands charged with the sum Of one
hundred ($1S6) and eighty-six dallars
which should have been accounted
for some time since.
The fines collected by Sheriff Cot
ter and County Judge Plummer have
been very satisfactory indeed, and
for which receipts have been filed.
Collector Cotter has ALSO collected
The courier-index., 1918-04-26

some delinquent taxes the past six
months, for which he has duly ac-
counted. His accounts we checked
up and found duly reported.
County Judge Plummer submitted
for our inspection report showing
the receipts for fines collected, wood
and hogs sold and work done by the
convicts, amounting to $1,615.57, for
which the county treasurer's receipts
had been given. He also reported
and accounted for $114S5 additional
for sale of coal and old junk and
refund in errors in assessments from
the former assessor, M. l.. Brown,
and on accounts OF Sheriff Cotter
We checked the county allowances
and warrants issued in payment OF
same and find them in perfect accord.
We also checked up the tax on in
struments in the offices of the circuit
and county clerks and found correct
returns and receipts for same.
We found the county clerks books
and those of the county treasurer in
accord and proper accounting made
for all funds coming into their hands.
We found the county general account
six thousand, five hundred and forty
three dollars and sixty sents over
drawn. Also special school district

Prune Packers Busy
Receiving Buying Orders

Prune packers are about the. busiest
men in the city all due to the fact that
the buying and selling price opened
up this year at the same time. Ordin-
arily the business is strung along over
several months, but according to the
governments orders, everything open
ed up ON July Is.
Eastern buyers who thought to break
the market and not pay the govern.
ment's maximum price are having hard
luck. A big crop has been reported and
working on this basis the eastern job
bers were somewhat backward about
paying the maximum, figuring that
the packers here and in the valley
would be overloaded
1t seems that the eastern men fig
ured all wrong and that sales here
have been made only on the govern
ment g maximum, and that up to date,
no packer has seen fit to contract at
a lower price. The Drager Fruit Co.,
here os well as other packing plants,
have been ordered by the government
to bold all Of the 5000 pack for the
governments disposal. This will figure
this year about one-fourth of the crop.
The only thing that is in doubt now
is as to the size of the crop as it is
estimated many things may happen be-
fore it is harvested. From the present
outlook, the crop will be about twice
as large as that of one year ago in this
valley.

DISSERTATION OF THE FLAG.

At recent meeting Sedgwick Wom-
ems Relief Corps, Auxiliary TO Sedg-
wick Post of the Grand Army of the
Republic, the following was voiced as
the sentiments of the corps. We, most
sincerely disapprove of the use of Old
Glory as a decoration for the backs
and radiators of automobiles or any
place where anything is liable to be
placed upon it
Rules governing the display of our
nations emblem, say that whenever
possible the flag should float from the
staff, and should never be draped.
We believe that the misuse of the
flag is entirely through thOughtlessness
or ignorance of the laws governing its
display, but in such times as these
when our whole nation is in arms to
preserve and perpetuate the principles
for which "Old Gloryr stands, we can
but feel that such thouhtlessness and

tain, they will walk to Salmon river,
then to the coast then down the coast

For the past five years Mr.. and Mrs

every mile of the coast line between

BOARD DISACREES
ON new BUILDING
Decision Of Supreme Court
On Budget Law Effects
School Districts

At a meeting of the school board of
directors held last evening, there was
some differences of opinion in regard
to the erection of q building to care
for the metal trade working depart
ment, to be established rnls fall
H L. Clark, favored the erection of
a building of brick or cement that
would cost the district about $4,000.
The majority Of the botrd favored a
wooden or corrugated iron temporary
building figuring that such tempor
ary structure would answer all the pre-.
sent purposes and that the permanent
building could be erected later when
building materials were not at the pre-.
sent top figure.
When Director Clark brought up the
legality of the board spending money
for the metal trades school, it was
shown that from legal standpoint,
the question had been passed on by At
torney General Brown, on request Of
State Superintendent Churchill. The
opinion covered the ground taking the
stand that the metal trade working
department Il be organized this fall
would ctMt rrdc' the head O.: bet
tcrmont of the ligh school. h hoard
also had the written opinion of Smith &
Shields, school attorneys, that as long
as the board incurred no Indebtedness,
it could legally erect the buildings, but
that it was not authorized, on the other
hand to incur a debt against the dis
trict more than the budget called for.
In question as to the budget prop
Csition, Director W. G. WinSlow
brought out the point that in a recen'
decision of the supreme court in the
case of Martin versus Gillian county,
the budget law of 1915 was void, ex-
eepting as it applied to counties. The
question had been brought up As to
whether money could be used for the
metal trades work, as ii had not beea
voted in the budget. Now according to
the opinion of the supreme court, the
new budget law is null and void.
These questions were brought out
from the fact that Director H. L. Clark
was opposed to the new departure for
boys work thinking the whole thing
and the expenditure of money was ille-
gal. The majority of the board, backed
by the opinions of the supreme court,
State Superintendent Churchill and
Smith & Shields, thought otherwise.
Or motion of Chauncey Bishop, bids
viii be advertised for covering two
tyrCs of building, one of wood and the
other of corrugated iron, both to have
concrete floors.
