The Township Tmstete in Jasper county have unanimously decided to stand by their previous understanding of the ffcope of the Duncan law. namely that it applies only to the iudlting by the commissioners of those expenditures whioh require the incurring of debts against the township. Considering the confused and obscure reading of the law, and the certainty that the Supreme court will have to be called on to decide what it means this action upon part of our trustees is as wise a one as they could take. If Attorney General Ketchum’s opinion of the law is right then trustees caq not safe ly buy a broom or a tin pup, nor have u broken window replaced in a school, without first having the commissioners pass upon the necessity of the expenditure. The law is a great botch, in any case, and if the Supreme court decides that it is inoperative on account of its obscurity, it will be the best disposition that can be made of it. •, . * • - v • 4«
