THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG, PA. It has been truthfully sai.1 that the newspaper "is the greatest education- i forte in society. It epitomizes ami amplifies the pulpit, the rostrum, the stage, the stump and the school. Tlic preacher addresses his hundreds, and wields within his circle great influence. The press takes his words and preaches them to thousands of readers, many of whom seldom enter witinn the sound of the voice of the teacher of divine truths. "It will thus be seen that whatever the press receives from society by way of patronage and support, it returns a thousand fold on the investment. The press is a private enterprise with public functions. To Offer a Roward of 100 Dollars for a case of catarrh that cannot be cuicd, creates the suspicion that the article so advertised is a humbug. Do you know of any such reward being paid ? Ely Bros, do not promise re wards in order to sell their well known "Cream Balm." They offer the most effective medicants, prepared in con venient form to use, and at the lowest possible price, 50 cents per bottle. An honest and effective remedy, which is absolutely free from mercurials or other harmful drugs. Luzerne County is issuing the books for the registration of the chil dren under the Compulsory Education law. I he registration will cost at least $5000 annually. Grand Jurors for May Term, 1896.

The Auditors of Bloom Poor District, report that alter examination, and a careful eonsldei ntlon of oil the accounts of the past yenr. they have approved the snme, except the following orders which weie drawn In excess of lawful claims as appears by statement and opinion hereto annexed, tc-wlt: fs 1 " i 3 2 0 3 8 n g o 5 3 Nol.InnH,1l5 8(lro $ 7t9 $ 24 50 No 15, Feb 10, 115.... 8 00 8 no 58 and ."3 Mch 30, '5 (18 00 50 CO 18 CO No 4K, M eh 111, !I6.. 44 1H 14 1H 1400 No 40, June 4H, 'H5.. 80 CO 14 15 16 79 No 73, July 80, 'H5.. 4 50 4 so No 100, Sept 13, 'H5.. 1" 00 10 00 107 A 131 Sep & Oct 1L7 17 S3 E6 13 61 108, 135, li, S,pt., Oct and Nov.... 045 00 50500 12000 Order No. 1, for 180,(4), given as feesofAurv tors and Secretary for servlses In nudtunir accounts ot Blot m Poor District forthe jear ism at the rate off 5 per day Is excessive nod Illegal. The Act of Assembly provides that said auditors shall be entitled to receive fd.50 for each and everyday actually employed. The salary of tho secretary Isllxed for the year und he was not entitled to extra compeiv satlon for attendance at tho meeting of the Auditors. It Is clear that the directors had no right to puy the Auditors and Secretary the $44 50 In excess of the amount allowed by law. Having no tight to tho mnnev the Poor District Is clearly entitled to recover It back from the directors of that year. But IheAV dltors und Secretary of t hut year should pn7 the Directors the amount received In excess to what they were legally entitled. Orders No. 10 nnd 73, amounting to $7.50 were given to one of tho Directors of the pnor; and part of order No. 48, amounting to $14.00 to an other Director for furnishing manure forthe Improvement of the properl y of the poor dis trict. This Is clearly In violation of the laws of Pennsylvania of 1874, page 180 which pro vides "That It Khull not bo lawful for anv Di rector of the poor In uny county In this Com iiionwenlih, where said onice exists to be concerned or personally Interested In anv con tract for furnishing supplies for the nialn tninnce of the poor, r for the construction or Improvement of property under tln lr con trol." Tho same law will apply to pati.of or der No. 40 amounting to $15.53 for carpenter work by one of the Directors on the buildings nf the Poor District. Although tho roor District received the benefit ot the nmt. of these orders, yet, the transactions were Illegal nnd the Directors who received the money should pay it back to the treasurer of the dis trict. Orders No. S3 nnd 68, amounting tnfi8were given to puy ror the services ot two stewnrds during pnrtoftho month of March last. The Act of Assembly Incorporating Bloom Poor District provides forthe appointment of only one steward. It would therefore be Illegal to pay forthe service or two at the same tlme. The Directors who appointed and paid forthe services of these two stewards should pay In to the treasury of the poor district $18, belnrr the amount In excess of the regular salary of the steward of that year. order No. 100, for $10 to J. A. Howard for board and care of H. S. Miller up to Sept. 18th, 18H5. was given without authority of law and should be paid to the Poor District by the Di rectors who authorized the pavment. The order shows that It was not. drawn for the re lief of H. 8. Miller but to puy bills which had been contracted previous to the time 'he or der was given. The Supreme Court hus de cided that tho overseers of the poor are strictly limited by the various Acts of Assembly r laitng to th maintenance of tho poor and ex cept In rare and special esses they t-ennot step beyond the letter of these acts. This Is allowed In special emergencies onlv, as where medical aid or other assistance is Imperative ly required before relief can be obtained." Orders 107 and 131, for$i07,17 were given for coal for Bloom Poor Dlst rlct The uctuul cost of the coal delivered at Bloomsburg was $4.75 a ton, amounting to $HS.8 but the orders were mude up of this amount, and or $18 lil for ex penses during t wo trips to Kingston to pur chase the coul The bills snow that tho coal costs $4.75 a ton and the orders Indicate that It costs $.1.15 a ton. This was a mistake and the Director who Ipurchased the coal should nay $'3,111, being the excess of the actual cost. But he Is entitled to puy for his necessary traveling expenses and by presenting an Itemized bill the board of Directors should order It paid. Orders ins, 138 and 156, for $1145 were given for steam heat at Poor Houso. If there had been a legal contract these orders could not be questioned by the Auditors, The paper purporting to be a contract Is only an agree ment signed by two Directors without any previous authority from the Board. a n agreement of this kind Is not binding the steam plant, does not legally belong to the district, and no legal price has been llxed for the payment of the same. According to a line of decisions of our courts a contract of this character should not ouiy un auiuonzeti uy a resolution passed at a meeting of the Board of Directors, bur. belmr a mat ter which should require deliberation and 1 iiuiwui, ine tun iioaia niouiu dr present. I'pon a careful examination tho AuditomiiuvA concluded that the price paid for steam heat is exorniiunt ana excessive, that thu same make and quality can be put In with a large prollttoiho contractors for $'4i less than the amount paid, and that the Director or Direct 01 s who authorized the navmeut of this excessive sum should pay the sum of $140.00 Into the treasury or ine district. We further recommend that the hooks and records of the district should be kept In a dif ferent form. That the inluutes should be more full und complete, with a statement of each bill passed. That no bill should be passed unt il Itemized, aud that the Uilnutos should be signed by the "ecretary. 'the sa ar.v or each of the Directors for t,h ensuing year Is Qxeil by the Auditors at seventy-five dollars. 11. .r. HESS, WM. MATH Fit, WM. HOGAKT, I. A DE WITT, ANDliKW L, FKITS5. Audi ton.
