KNOW

HIM

Twelve business rules relative to the "Wayne county infirmary were adopted by the board of county commissioners at its meeting this afternoon.

Probably the most important rule in- j

eluded in the list is that the superintendent shall be required to give bond in the amount of $3,000, conditioned upon the proper discharge of his duties, and the due accounting for all the property handled by him and received as superintendent. '. The rules which tend to lessen the responsibility of the superintendent and to increase the responsibility of the board of county commissioners, provide for a thorough checking system of all money received and spent by or for the infirmary.

"I have been trying to get this mat- s

ter put through for some time," said Robert N. Beeson, president of the board, in speaking of the new rules adopted today. "Things have been run- j ning too loosely at the poor farm and we have decided up on a different sys-! tern by which everything spent for the farm will be checked up in the auditor's office." One occasion for the adoption of the new rules was the claim of a township trustee, in which the latter contended that he bad spent $75 in the interests of the farm and still had $30 due him from the county. Regulates Purchases. According to the rules the commissioners' board will purchase all supplies for the infirmary. All supplies under contract must be furnished by the merchant receiving the contract and all bills for supplies must be presented for payment at the next following monthly meeting of the board. In order that the new method will bring the desired results duplicate bills must be rendered for all supplies furnished and the superintendent, Newton Brumfield, will be required to go to the auditor's office on the Saturday preceeding the first Monday of each month to accept or reject all poor farm bills. One of the main objections to the system which has been employed is that other besides the commissioners have been paying the bills. Some of these bills are not presented until several months after supplies have been furnished. Text of Rules. The rules are appended: All supplies of any sort or description must be purchased only on the direct order of the Board of County Commissioners, excepting such supplies which are included in the annual contract scheduled for the institution. All supplies that are not included in the annual contracts that are needed from time to time, shall be reported to the County Commissioners on blanks provided by the Auditor. All supplies under contract shall be purchased from the merchant who secured the contract for same, and at the contract price. Otherwise checking in the Auditor's office is impossible, and the merchant having the contract may have a grievance. The Superintendent shall require that all bills for supplies shall be presented for payment at the next following monthy meeting of the Board. All purchases 6hall be paid for by warrants issued directly to the eeller. Duplicate bills shall be rendered for all supplies furnished. One accompanied by an affidavit shall be sent to the County Auditor; the other to the Superintendent for the purpose of checking. The Superintendent shall be required to come to the Auditor's office on the Saturday preceeding the first Monday of each month to O. K. or reject all Poor Farm bills, and advise with the auditor relative to the same. Whenever there shall be a surplus

of products not needed for the subsistence of the inmates, materials of any i kind, or live stock, the Superintend-! ent shall report same to the County Commissioners, who may sell, or or-; der the Superintendent to sell same, I and the Superintendent shall make no

sales except on such order. When sales are made the purchaser. If he gives a personal check, shall make such check payable to the Commissioners of Wayne County, and the Superintendent shall give such purchaser a receipt for such check, and Immediately forward same ot the County Auditor who will issue a receipt for same; and if sales are made for cash in hand, the Superintendent shall report the same and deliver such money to the Board at their first regular session thereafter. . Each transaction regarding the sale of products from the Poor Farm shall be reported by the Supterintendent to

. The man was arrested several weeks

ago on complaint of farmers north of the city. Brown was charged with having threatened to kill Jesse Brown, by whom he was employed as a farm hand. Brown, it is alleged, drew a razor on the latter, saying that he would cut his throat if the farmer made one move. Carey or Brown was arrested and brought to this city.. The sheriff sent letters giving a description of the man to the Ohio state penitentiary but received an answer saj'ing that Brown was not known there.
