Jasper County Democrat, Volume 1, Number 22, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 10 September 1898 — A GOOD LAW. [ARTICLE]

A GOOD LAW.

One of the benefits of the law that compels township trustees to publish their reports is shown in rtn adjoining county, says the LaPorte Argus. One trustee shows the purchase of a road scraper for §75. In two adjoining townships the trustee purchased identically the same kind of a scraper and paid §125 each for them. Here was §SO clean steal for somebody, and nobody would probably have ever found it out if it had not been for the publication of the re- ! ports. The law saves the people lof Indiana ten times what it costs them every year.
