A Complimentary Report On Officers of Marlon Township.

John G. Davis and Marion W. Salmon, members of the state board of accounts, who have been examining the. accounts of the trustees of the county, have filed their reports in Marion township. The report is very complimentary to Trustee Parkinson. The balance on hand January Ist was >10,688.56. . i The following extracts are taken from the report: “In regard to the examination of said Marion township from January 1, 1904 to January 1, 1909, we find no apparent extravagance or misappropriation of funds. “Mr. Parkinson, trustee, neglected to keep, an itemized service account and we have cautioned him that such is necessary. “We also note that his expenditures for “supplies” of all kinds and whatsoever nature for his township for the year 1909, aggregates less than SIOO, which sum, considering that his township is one of the wealthiest of rf the county, emphasizes his old fashioned notion that honesty and economy are essential features in the successful and satisfactory transaction of public business. “The advisory board and trustee of this township are apparently in perfect harmony in the transaction of their respective duties with seeming regard for the law governing their official duties.”
