Evening Republican, Volume 14, Number 296, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 14 December 1910 — County Auditors to Meet in Indianapolis December 20 and 21. [ARTICLE]

County Auditors to Meet in Indianapolis December 20 and 21.

Legislation desired by , county auditors will be the principal topic discussed at a meeting of the County Auditor’s association of Indiana, which meets at the Denison hotel in Indianapolis, December 20 and 21. Among the measures which it is thought wili be requested by auditors is a law legalizing such acts of auditors and county commissioners as have been performed in good faith, but in technical violation of law, and in which no loss has come to the county or profit to the officers. For example, it is said that in one county in Indiana there was no free gravel road fund until last year, all expenses for repairs of roads being paid from the general fund. Auditors believe they should not be charged with the money properly spent, but drawn from the wrong fund, as sometimes they have acted under poor advice. No formal program for the meeting has been prepared, and it is likely there will be none. The meeting, as expressed in the call, is a “get together and get acquainted meeting of outgoing and incoming auditors,” and it is said that the auditors who have had long service will be called on to detail their experiences for the benefit of those about to assume office.
