A petition is being circulated in Davidson township which is receiv ing the names of all the prominent tax payers, asking the court to ap point a township treasurer to serve until such time as one may be elect ed. Heretofore the road supervisors and overseers of poor have handled the funds—drawing and cashing their own orders. This manner of business transaction was thought to be less expensive as it saved a treas urer's commission, but with the ex perience Davidson has had with this method there is found to be no econ omy in it. Accounts in several in stances have been poorly kept in past years and transactions between collectors and various officials have been unevenly devided and resulted in unpleasant circumstances. Law suits have been instituted and books presented in evidence have of neces sity been ruled out owing to their deficient character and the conse quence following is a shifting of blame for shortage of funds and no one is punished for the injustice done to the taxpayers. In this manner Davidson has lost hundreds of dol lars and expended large sums in lawsuits. A competent and reliable treasurer for Davidson would be a money saver to those who pay the taxes, and the more progressive ones are making a strong effort to have it brought about.
