Ellwood City Audit Reveals Electric Dept Mismanagement
An 1908 audit of Ellwood City highlights errors in treasurer and clerk accounts, improper meter readings, and missing taxes. It shows a leaky electric plant with meters running backward, uncollected delinquents, and $21,817.09 tied to 23 months of sales against $21,523.59 costs. Recommendations urge tighter controls, warrant procedures, and removal of unused meters to save future expenses.
