At the annual meeting of the OHIO NEWS IN BRIEF Vedarvil,le Ohio. Hear Sir:- An article in your issue o f January $»d, 1290, headed, Examiner Chops 98 Day* from Hi* Padded Hill”, has been called to our attention. We'have read same vary carefully and it is very clear that you are prejudging a matter whhm has not as yet reached * Siamplinary stage, so far trie proper a* the same is to'be applied to State Examiner Parrott, in order to charge State Auditor Donahey and this'Bu­ reau, of Which he is Chief, with in­ tention to whitewash the actions of one of its examiners. We have no quarrel with you a*, to the main statement of facts as given by you concerning Auditor A. E. Faulkner's check o f the time employ­ ed by Mr, Parrott and as claimed by him, find We riighly commend Mr, Faulkner and hi* assistants for hav­ ing done so and for having reported Jhe same tp Mr. Donahey. The Bu­ reau ha* its rules governing its.' ex­ aminers in the field and we welcome ally effort on the part of local officials to keep a. check-, upon their actions, for the {Bureau, at Columbus, could have no means o f knowing whether its rules were scrupulously regard­ ed by its examiners unless this was done, although, permit us to say, that we'have an abiding faith in the characters of our men for faithful­ ness, honesty and integrity, which can only’ be shattered by proof to the contrary, 'hence, when charges are made .against any - one of them, we, naturally, take ample"time to in­ vestigate,^for you must-admit that it would be. Unjust,to be precipitate, in a 'matter of this kind.,, / Your article admits'triab the Bu reau held to its rule by requiring Mr* Parrott tp'amend hip-charge to ■the extent of $280.00, - but because we took' ample tube, to be fair to Mr. Parrott, you insinuate, in fact, charge Mr, DoUaheyWith having^juggled the matter in order to protect the exami- , ner. * . t - “ We .deny' this most emphatically, Mr. .Faulkner's 'check o f the goings and comings of Mr. Parrott from and to his;work.could, notbe, in ev­ ery in s tep , proof, that-the, exami­ ner had not worked, for it often- oc­ curs that an examiner discovers a condition y ^ h ’rwquirea^hpn to make 'dops*' el*ejwhere' than at thd w&M took work Dome and Greene county , stockholders of the Exchange Bank, was gainer to this extent for Mr, i held Tuesday, it was deeded to start Parrott' was denied payment fo r !immediately to perfect the uncom- ssme, by our action, thanks to Mr, Pleted plans for the new bank build Faulkner’s information in regard to the matter, for .which the auditor is to be highly commended. « We wish to quote from your ar­ ticle the-following paragraphs: '"“Mr. Donahey stated at first that he had demoted an examiner some* month* ago because he padded his account one day, yet so far Mr. Par­ rott is still oh lue job after acknow­ ledging that he padded his account 28 days and' having $280.-00 taken from hi* original bill. ’ » ft is a plain case of sham reform on the part of Mr. Donahey, who go­ es■ about the state boasting of the reformation that he is staging. If We were to venture an opinion the man that was demoted for an extra charge of one day, we would say that he was a Republican. * * ” We Write iiiis reply because we be­ lieve same, to be fully justified in or­ der to place the facts before your readers, as we have a right to request under the provisions of sections 6319- 3 and 6319-4, General Cpde, 103, O. L. 865, and to call your attention totlie fact, that the two paragraphs quoted this held At Columbus, .JoMflh W. H. Thorny- above tend to show that you- were ac­ tuated, more by political bias than by anyother motive,, for the fact re­ mains that .the examiner you. refer to as having been demoted by Mr. Dona­ hey was a Democrat. Your opinion, fciad you Ventured one, which we read as much between the lines, that he Was ,a Republican, is, we take it, al­ though evidently nob so meant by ydu a tribute to Mr, Donabey’s broadness of.mind, for as a matter of fact’ the personnel of this Bureau and its ex­ amining force i$ about evenly divided politically. , . ! • Very .truly yours E.

Notice has been, given the Troute .Grocery Co., to vacate by the first o f March when the old building will betwrecked. •While the plans Xiave not been per-, footed yet the Herald was given a review of-the drawing and*a descrip­ tion of the proposed building. The building devoted to banking purposes will be of the modem one story bank awbeeture which in reality is two stories in heighth from the outside. A number Of arejieticts have sub­ mitted plans but the one drawn by Contractor Frank Hamm seems to be the choice, The building will be pf brick with stone trimming and ample light from the street frontage and from overhead has been provided. On the Main street side will be a business r<*>omwith large plate glass front. This,, art of the building will be^but one story. Tfio Xenia avenue part of the building not used for the bank proper will be converted into quarters for the director’s room and for community purposes On the secqnd floor will be a large-assembly room 30x4Qand tjfis will have kitchen equipment fpr the convenience in en­ tertainment and serving purposes. The building will have all the modern toilet ' conveniences with drinking fountains* The building will be heat­ ed, With hot water or steam. The en­ trance to fhe bank proper will be very attractive and will be located in the corner .-of the building. The entrance to ,the community quarters and as­ sembly room will be from the Xenia avenue side. At. the meeting the former officers were re-elected; Geo. ,W. Rife^ pres- dent;., Oliver Gaflough, vice presi dent; O. L. Smith, cashier. The direc­ tors are Geo. W. Rife, 'Oliver Gar- lough, M, I. Marsh, Howard Smith, G. E. Jobe and 0. L. Spilth. The bank statement •appears in this issue. The present surplus is $20,000.' ’ ’ „ The following is the progrrm 'for the Orange and Blue*literary society on January 19, ■ < / aProf* Frederick Marcelloi; the' in,- ternofionat chalk-talk performer, is to be with us for Sds ‘program* nd.in good faith it,could not be gainst him* • M r.« E* Brotton, Sift examiner, Id­ eated .at, Cincinnati in. the examina­ tion^of the Offices of Hamilton, made the p&vibus examination of Greene County, that ,county having been «r part o f his. district under the old dis­ trict plan, and. as such he. kept in touch with affair* o f all of the coun­ ties of his district. When the district plan 'was- abolished Mr. Brotton in­ formed the Bureau that he was cog­ nisant of certain matters in Greene bounty which the nex,t examiner/who Was assigned there should know about detailing them in a meausre, hence, when Mr. Parrott was assigned to make the examination o f Greene county, these matters were called to his attention and he was duly in­ structed to personally confer with Mr* Brotton concerning the matters whenever he deemed such confer­ ences necessary. Four of the days checked against him by Auditor Fatflkner were for days in which Mr. Parrott Conferred with Mr. Brot­ ton as Mr. Brotton assured Us in the course of our investigations of the mafter. Mr* Faulkner’s charges against Mr. Parrott were the first ever made against him during his many years as an examiner in the service pf , this department. During a large part of the time that Mr, Parrott worked in Greene county he was ill and his .time account showed many days ’‘off duty/’ for which, of course, no charge wasmade, and during much of the time hesUffered mental concern over a son in the World war, one day having noticed in a newspaper an ac­ count of the torpedoing of a vessel upon which he knew his son to be at the time. These conditions were very depressing and Mr. Parrott attributes them and not to intention charges for a ‘few days he could^ not otherwise explain. Mr. Parrott claims that he took work,home with him and actu­ ally rendered Service for all other days charged for, Which we do not deny, but wb had no hesitation, in the final analysis to hold that wheth­ er fie did or iiot, Rule No. 4 o f the Bureau dfd not permit compensation for such, and same were held against hint, However, because Mr* Donahey did not unsheath his snickersnee and behead Mr. Parrott at once you Charge that matter* were juggled in, order to protect the examiner. Before Auditor Faulkner had filed his charges against Mr, Parrott with Mr. Donahey and the Bureau, Mri Parrott toad been assigned to another county and we did not deem it nee* •ssaty to withdraw him from same on account o f the charges mad* from yo«r county, a* Mr. Donahey could in proper tim* impose such disciplinary measure* for violation of rules as be might deMd* upon, fo r , it am*A besaMthafe Mr. Parrott is- and poetry are sure to please.

Had the examiner • suffered a long serious il|ness or been i adjudged insane or incompetant wo might accept such excuses but when ( couqty officials or Btate department have not questioned riis ability .other than to overcharge we feel that the; act was deliberate and that the de« | partment can make no reasonable ex- [ cuse for-one that not over-charged ! one day but 28 days at‘$10 a day. : If Mr* Parrott can read, write and he should know, artd we say he did ; know that ihe was not allowed to ' charge the county for extra time or time outside of office hours. The state/department in sending5 Mr. Parrott to Mr. Faulkney to get; things straightened out knew also that the examiner was only respon­ sible to his superiors.
