We were pleased to see Mr.
Bill Dowtin in town on his an
nual vacation. He says the
"boys" in his Camp have "guy
ed" him considerably about the
Warren Record publishing the
fact that the Committee from
the Grand Jury could not visit
the County Home or the Convict
Camp because of the condition of
the roads fifty-thousand dollar
bond issue roads.
We have been taken to task by
some of our friends in town for
not saying that the ice on the
roads made them impassable. Of
course we all know that the un
precedented thaws and f ree2 es
and rains and lumber and heavy
hauling in such weather made
them impassable. Ice on a smooth
road bed could have been over
come by rough shod horses. Good
dirt roads cannot be maintained
in long spells of bad weather un
less heavily loaded wagons are
kept off during such weather. It
was the report of the Grand Jury
gentlemen, and though we have
kept out of our columns many
things known to all of us here
which were not calculated to im
press peopla iarmW did
not know all tho eiraamstances,
yet we have to speak of these
things occasionally "for the pub-
lie good", thougn it suDjecis us
to criticism.
A bill has passed the Senate
providing for a uniform system
of county books, and county au
diting, and directing the Corpo
ration Commission to appoint
travelling Auditor to audit the
books of all officials.
This is after a suggestion
made by this paper several
months ago: that it would be
better, for all concerned to have
the books of a County audited in
the same manner as the Govern
ment audits" National banks, as
the State audits private banks.
The Legislature is after the
Tistol toter." A bill has pass
ed making it necessary for every
owner of a pistol to register the
same before the Clerk of the
Court, and every person carrying
a pistol concealed about his per
son is fined fifty dollars for first
offense.
