Mr. Grothe writes us as follows: “I hear that some remarks I made at the meeting for voting the special school tax on the 4th inst., were understood by some to throw doubt on the integrity of the school trustees. Nothing could be further from my mind than to say anything of the kind against men who have for several years given their services to the public without any reward; who have honestly and conscientiously discharged the duties of the office to which they were elected, and who deserve the full confidence of the public. The fact is, an unwarranted remark had been made in my hearing, outside of the meeting, which attacked the honor of a former member of the school board, and this made me think that such slanderous attacks might be avoided, or could easily be refuted if all persons having public funds to administer, would supply the fullest information in their power as to the way in which such funds had been handled by them. I still think so, and if, as I have since been informed, the machinery of our present laws makes it almost impossible for the trustees to publish full accounts, it is time for the people to insist upon the legislature taking this matter up.” This file has been created by a form at http://www.genrecords.org/idfiles/ File size: 1.9 Kb
