The clerk’s office seems to have been run
in the most reckless manner. Nothing seems to
be right, and everything wrong. The commis-
missioners were called before the grand jury,
but were apparently unable to explain any-
thing and owing to the absence of the clerk, the
odium of all the disgusting details shown in the
report naturally falls on his shoulders. He has
now returned and it is to be hoped will in some
manner be able to explain the condition in
which his office was found. The report of the
committee was far from complete, and yet it
unearthed the startling information that the
amount of bonds issued is many thousands of
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.
