Jasper County Democrat, Volume 9, Number 34, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 24 November 1906 — COMES HIGH, BUT THEN— [ARTICLE]

COMES HIGH, BUT THEN—

Ex-city clerk S. C. Irwin is assisting in the auditing of the city treasurer’s books. The work has now been in progress three weeks or more and it is thought it will take two weeks more, we are informed. The expert accountant gets $12.50 per day and Mr. Irwin $3.50, making the expense sl6 00 per day. If it takes 30 days the total expense will be about $1480.00. Of course nothing will be known of what they find until the report is made to the council, but it is not anticipated that any glaring discrepancies will be unearthed. The Democrat was in error in a recent statement that this auditing goes back to 1892; it only goes back to 1902, four years.
