Evening Republican, Volume 14, Number 231, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 28 September 1910 — Injunction Granted Against Payment of Accounting Board. [ARTICLE]

Injunction Granted Against Payment of Accounting Board.

Judge C. W. Hanley this Wednesday afternoon granted an injunction against the auditor of Newton county paying the bills filed by_the accounting board in Newton county for the payment of the examination recently made of the books and accounts of the town of Morocco. The injunction was granted as the result of a suit started by the town through Attorneys Rodgers & Rodgers. The injunction is temporary, pending an investigation of the case. Two members of the accounting board spent some 45 days on the Morocco town books, involving an expense of more than S9OO. The town board and citizens generally objected to the money being spent when they did not ask for the inspection. Several other towns in Newton county also objected and the injunction will probably hold good as applied to them.
