dollars in excess of warrants issued, although
some of the warrants were bonded as many as
three times, and any number of others were
raised from only a few dollars to several hun-
dred. It is a bad showing and apparently cannot
be explained without criminating someone.
But we cannot enter into the details of the
report. It shows for itself. It shows that the
county is on the verge of bankruptcy. It shows
that money raised as a sinking fund has been
converted into “special cash” and squandered.
Three years ago the sinking fund amounted to
$23,583.82, which with the accumulating sink-
ing fund has since been “sunk” so deeply that
the people will probably never see it again.
Immediate action must be taken, civil suits
brought for recovery of this money, and the
guilty parties punished.
