Flora Indiana Claims World's Tightest Graft Free Government
Fiora Indiana reports a town with $50 annual top salary and a $2,000 debt due in three years. Clerk Toole notes the treasury is $8,000 ahead as Flora plans water works bonds and a possible electric light plant. Local operation relies on volunteers, public works are handled by a multitasked marshal and trustees, and the community funds a common pride in cleanliness and civic duty.
