PRAISES WORK OF JASPER ASSESSORS

County and Township Assessors Have Done Fine Work. 111 " ■ m County Assessor Lewis and the various township assessors under his management have performed their work so splendidly as to call forth from C. D. Sherwin, one of the examiners who have just completed the task of going over the books of Assessor Lewis and his aides for the years 1909 to 1912 inclusive, a very high compliment. Mr. Sherwin resides at Goshen, where he formerly served as postmaster. His team mate is E. T. Carson, Of Shelbyville, a former auditor of Shelby county. They were here for about four weeks and besides going over the work of the county and township assessors for four years, examined the clerk’s office for the past year and the sheriffs office for one year. While the findings of the examiners are secret, Mr. Sherwin said’ he did not consider it a breach of orders to say that especially was the work of Mr. Lewis and the township assessors splendidly performed, and that Jasper county is very fortunate to have such able officials. It is understood that the board will recommend that Sheriff Hoover supply his office with books wjiich are required by the present law and which the office fias not had in the past.
