Soft Soap
Probe Started Into Why
Carroll Courthouse
Has So Much.
BY BEN STERN

T EFT the campaign start-the soft
H. soap is ready and the taxpay-
ers of Carroll County are providing
it.
AS the boys down at Delphi, coun-
ty seat say, there is enough soap
and cleaner stored in the assembly
room, basement and boiler room of
the courthouse to clean anything
from an oil despatched politician
to a $2,500 horse.
In the past two years the Carroll
County treasury has paid out $4,-
876.13 for soap for the courthouse
and in addition there is now pend
ing for collection soap bills totaling
$4,000.
The taxpayers have been so thor
oughly soft-soaped that as Law
renee Orr, chief of the State ac-
counts board said in a letter to the
count commissioners, there has
beena Iamentable lack of judgment
displayed in the purchasing of the
soap"
The State board of accounts also
says that Section 5897 of Burns an
notated statutes provides that each
bidder must enter a -collusion
affidavit.
If it can be proved that no such
affidavits were entered Gus A. Hill,
county attorney, will be able to dis
allow the payment of the outstand-
ing bills. Accounts board examiners
are to investigate especially the
soap situation" Orr said.
n
DISCOVERY of the great amount
II of soap on hand was made
Upon the retirement of John Long
on June 80. an janitor.
A detailed inventory e'-o~'od:
In the assembly room, 957 gallons
Of soap in various sized tins: 126
gallons of boiler cleaning compound;
paper toweling sufficient to paper
the interior of the courthouse,
mops and fly killing compound.
In the boiler room, 2.155 gallons
of soap in barrels. large tins and
small containers, pipe cleaner galore,
barrels of disinfectant. 100 gallons Of
toiler cleanser. besides distilled
waters. bales of waste and other
cleaning equipment.
In addition to the above. several
barrels Of soap have been returned
and orders for future deliveries can
celled.
Charles w. Billings, county COM
missioner, called attention to the
wholesale soap buying in January,
1927. He endeavored to have the
powers Of the janitor to make such
purchases rescinded, without sue
cess.
=
TN January, 1928. the board be-
i came Democratic with the ac-
cession of William Funkhouser, and
the janitor was ordered to abstain
from his Unsuitable mania for soap.
But the warning was to no avail.
Soap still came pouring in.
Long retired July and Delphi
mathematician have estimated that
there is enough soap or hand now
to keep the courthouse clean for
from ten to fifteen years, enough
sweeping compound to last the same
period and sufficient boiler COM
pound for five years. -
A complete check on the situation
is promised by the board of ac-
counts, but until then Carroll
County courthouse is the soap head
quarters for the State.
