Tin tiituntion is mirh that popular in
terests demand an m uiitintf by ex
ports of eonnty reeords, that the peo
ple may know what has been done and
is lieiny done with their money. Coun
ty offieers with nothing to fear from
il puhlii- probiiii; shouhl lie the first to
demand that experts be plaeed at work,
for no si ronger i ml it-at ion eould be
foriheninin than the rig lit kind of a

County Jud'e Dunn and the eoiinty
eommisoioioTs turn strangely deaf ears
