Portland Man Seeks
Pardon from Jail

A petition for the pardon of Zosio
Mundrell of Portland. who is serving
a term in the Cumberland county Jail
for maintaining a common nuisance,
was filed at the Department of State
Tuesday. Mundrell was convicted at
the last May term of the superior
court for Cumberland county and
was sentenced to pay a fine of $1,000
and to serve four months in Jail and
in default of payment to serve six
months additional in Jail.
In his petition for pardon, Nun
drell states that the evidence pro-
duced at the trial disclosed that the
sales upon which the charge of nui-
sance was founded, were made by
others than the petitioner. that the
evidence disclosed that the real
charge against him was that he per-
mitted the premises owned by him to
be used for the illegal traffic in liquor,
that the petitioner did not in fact
know of the use of his premises for
illegal purposes and that he was not
engaged in the liquor business.
A hearing on the petition will be
assigned at the session of the COVER
nor and council, which will be held
next Tuesday. Joseph E. F. Con-
molly of Portland is counsel for the
petitioners.

STATE HOUSE
Next Meeting Council 10 A. M Tuesday, oe .

I Walter B. Fraser, chief a,countc n,
III the office of the auditor.
While under the Uniform tc-
counting Act municipalities of The
state are not compelled to install
the uniform accounting system pro-
Vlded for, they are required to make
report relative to their finances to
the State auditor. Section { of ihe
ACT reads as follows: The State
auditor shall inquire into the sys-
TENS OF accounting of public funds
In all cities, towns and village cor
poratlons and 1t shall be the outy
OF all municipal officers to furnish
information relative thereto on sucb
forms as he may prescribe"
The form of the report blank .e
Gently prepared has been examined
by a certified public accountant no
mas mad experience in that line with
the United States government. and
ne speaks OF the report form as be-
ing concise and practical. BY .hese
forms the various items will be .-et
out uniformly for all cities and
towns. and on the balance sheet at
the end the financial standing of
each municipality will be shown.
The cities and towns of the State
Will be required to report to the
State auditor on all trust funds and
securities, permanent school funds
etc. In this connection an act passed
by the last Legislature is of pactic-
ular interest. This act provides that
any city or town that after July Z
OF this year receives by grant, iced,
Will or gift money to hold in trust
or money for the perpetual care of
cemetery lots, cannot spend that
money, but must invest all such
permanent funds, including perma-
nent school funds in certain 'lasses
of bonds or place them at interest
IN savings banks. Heretofore, cities
and towns have been able to spend
such funds and charge it up to
Themselves method which Vas
manifestly not good business and
which if employed by guardians
with funds of their wards would
be considered criminal
The Uniform Accounting Act pro-
vides that the State auditor shall!
publish biennially statistics relative
to the financial agairs of cities,
towns and village corporations aid
other information of common inter-
est pertaining to municipal affairs.
uo ClliSS anu tOWuS Will make their
reports to the State auditor annually
at the close of every fiscal year, and
the essentials of these reports will
be compiled by the State auditor into
one volume, which will probably be
separate from the auditors regular
report. AS there are over 500 cities
and towns in the State. this will
make good-sized volume even al
though only the totals of tho yo,;
GUS columns will be printed.
Until the S1st Legislature passed
the Uniform Accounting Act towns
and cities of the State were not
obliged to make any report of their
finances to the State auditor, and in
fact the auditor was not generally
prepared to give definite information
regarding the statistics of any city
or town except as in some cases re-
ports of some of the larger cities
may have been sent into his office.
