WILLIAM E. BECKER
William E. Becker, of Grant
township, passed away at his home
there Thursday afternoon. Funeral
services will be held from the
Clare Methodist Church at 2:30
o'clock Sunday afternoon. Friends
may see Mr. Becker at the Stephenson Funeral Home until the time
of the services,,The obituary will
be published next week.
•*?- A somewhat critical report on
the books and records of Clare
County was submitted to the County Board of Supervisors by the
Auditor General's department of
Michigan.
On   the  basis   of  information
disclosed by the annual audit of
the county books, and other information, legal action is being
taken  against one  official,  and
recommendations, and  warnings
will probably be 'issued to other
elected   officials   and .their   departments.
Til.   annual  report was  signed
July 26,  by  John  B.  Martin,  Jr.,
Auditor General for the State of
Michigan, and covers the financial
administration   of   Clare   County
government for the year 1951.
* Copies of the finished report
went to heads of various county
departments as well as the Supervisors, and to the Clare Sentinel.
A,   E.   Hagen;   Justice of the
•Peace   in   Harrison,   will   face
court charges on several counts
of misconduct in office and but.
In Hagen's accounts as Justice,
the   Auditors   and   Clare   County
Prosecuting   Attorney,   Harold   B..
Hughes, were unable to establisl.
liability   for  possible  cases  from
the   State  Police   or  the   County
Sheriff's   officers.
Hagen failed to report his 4c-
'tivities monthly, as required by
statute.
Justice W. B. Dunlop's accounts
were clear and in good order, with
all  accounts   due,  appearing paid
at the time of the auditor's check.
Hagen is also tangled with the
law and in trouble over a forgery charge which has been an
uncompleted    case    since    last
March when Hagen was arrested
in Oakland County and brought
back   to   Harrison   by   Sheriff
Amble  to  face  a  forgery  complaint.
Milder criticism was leveled at
several  county  department heads
and the conduct of their business.
Among    some    officials    whose
handling of public funds and taxpayers money was inferred to be
slipshod,   or   downright   careless,
was the County Road Commission
and the Sheriff.
..Special' attention was .directed
by the" Auditor General to accounts  receivable by the Road
Commission. The items referred
to   are   four   accounts   due  the
commission  in   total  amount   of
$118.55.
Recommendation of Mr. Martin's office was that "extension of
credit to individuals be discouraged and, if possible, be discontinued".
".   .   .   we  were  informed   that
these   accounts   await   disposition
by the County Road Commission,
If   the   Road   Commission   settles
these   accounts   in   any   manner
other than by the  collection and
recepting of amount due, it is recommended that a resolution stating all the pertinent facts of the
settlement be incorporated in the
minutes of the Road Commission
and approved by the Commission",
On the matter of Road Commissioner's, salaries which, were
paid  at the  rate  of $1,000 j. er
year   during   1950,   the  Auditor
General   strongly   recommended
review   of   the   matter   by   the
Prosecuting Attorney in view of
the fact that these salaries were
raised from $350.00 per year by -
the   Commissioners   themselves,
during their term.
The   salary  hike  by  the  Road.
Commissioners     for     themselves,
was voted in the face of Michigan,
statute   which   prohibits   changes
in  salaries  for term officers  during a term.
Prosecuting   Attorney   Harold
B. Hughes said Thursday that he
would recommend to  the Road
Commissioners that they review
their own action for the purpose
of complying with the law.
A   former   Road   Commissioner
answered Sentinel queries on the
topic with .the ready admission that
the   members   of   the   Commission
knew   they   were   raising   salaries
during a term, but that they wished
to draw salary instead of mileage.
Mr. Hughes indicated that he
will urge the  Commissioners to
present  vouchers   for  their  actual   mileage,   instead   of .taking
lump-sum salary increases.
According to the tone of the report of the Auditor General", much
of the spending of Clare County's
public money should be strictly accounted for by vouchers and actual
expense evidence, rather than the
systems now used by the Sheriff,
County Road Superintendent and
Social Welfare Board members.
