W T orkman was in LafayHte and Lebanon this week and closed up a contract with those cities to make an investigation for omitted taxes, similar to the county contracts which he had already made, on a basis of 35 per cent, of all moneys collected. We think they made no mistake in their selection. So for as we are acquainted with Mr. Workman’s investigatioi here he has shown himself to be skilled and experienced in this line of work, fair and honorable in the ’adjustments, and a gentleman. We have talked with a number of people who have been called before him during the progress of the work here and have not heard a complaint as to the treatment accorded them by Mr. Workman or his assistants, and some of the parties were found to be owing some back taxes, too. —o —
