Must Publish Reports.

The- question of whether the new township reform law repealed that part* of the old law requiring publication of township trustees annual reports has recenty been a much mooded question. AttorneyGeneral Taylor says of the matter: There is no specific repeal of the publication clause of the act of Jun.j 28, 1895, requiring the annual report to be published for one week in one weekly newspaper of general circulation in the county, and repeals by implica- ’ 'on are not favored in the law. '/here is a penalty of SIOU prole’ for the failure of a trustee to •publish his annual report “Becaoho of the liability to punish-

ment upon failure of a trustee to publish his report, it seems to me the only safe way is to publish the trustees’ report as heretofore once in one weekly newspaper in the county after the report is made in September.”
