Report on county finances calls for injunctions against commissioners
A five week probe by Julius Whiting H W Hasler and Atlee Pomerene into the county commissioners books found overdrawn funds especially for bridges and buildings. Bridge funds barred work before 1901 with 60000 overdrawn and roughly 7000 for buildings. Many contracts not on journals or filed with the auditor violating law. The committee urges bulk purchases for workhouse and infirmary to save money and recommends the prosecuting attorney seek injunctions if reckless contracting continues. Deputy reshuffles noted and local arrests include Michael Leininger in Jackson township probate filed for Jacob Brancher estate.
