That the auditing of the trustee's books be done by the county auditor and commissioners of their respective county. 2. The power be put in the hands of the advisory board for the allowances and expenses of all township expenditures, according to the needs and requirements relative to local conditions. 3. The new ditch law bo amended so that the trustee may take care of any ditch repair work not to exceed SSO without advertisement, and any assessment which a land owner has failed to pay, revert * back and be placed on the tax duplicate and bo paid as taxes, instead of having to bring civil suit. 4. The maintenance of all roads be in the hands of the trustee. 5. That a trustee may succeed himself.
