The suppressed reToUt Of the state
board of accounts on the expenditures
OF Marion county officials for the year
1919 reveals that there was more money
spent out of the free gravel road repair
fund Of Marion county for gasoline and

gravel roads.
The superintendent Of roads had thirty
assistants who cost the county S1G420.4 A.
The cost Of labor used in the repair
work was exceeded by other expenditures
by sl39 645.06.
The state board says in IT'S suppressed
report:
"The records show that there was paid
ont of this fund the sum Of sI.e0O for
Office clerk. This had been the custom
