COUNTY BURIAL CONTRACT.
commissioners Take 1t Away from
Charles BrittOn.

The Board of County Commissioners held
a meeting yesterday morning and annulled
the contract for the burial of paupers here
tofore existing in the name Of J. w. Foutz.
Foutz was to receive 81 for the burial of
each adult and s. for each infant. He went
out of business and the contract was trans
ferred to Charles Britton. 1t was the
~fatter's work which does not suit the COM
m~issioners. They say that Foutz performed
the work satisfactorily so long as he con-
tinued to do 1t.
When asked in what regard Britton
contract. the commissioners did not seem
to have any specific charge to make. They
simply had reports which led them to be-
lieve that the work was not done satiSfac-
torily and they felt hat the contract ought
to be placed in other hands: DR.. w. Nj.
Wright, who was on FoutZ'S bond, had
asked to be relieved.
one of the complaints against Britton
came from the superintendent OF the cOun-
ty asylum. A patient who died there was
buried by Britton. He called for the body
in an old huckster's wagon. He explained
that his dead WACO was out or repair.
Superintendent Meyers reported to the
board of commissioners that on Tuesday
Britton's men brought a body out to the
terry so short a time with IT that one of the
employees made an investigation. They
found the box barely covered and on open
ing the box found that il contained no
body. Mr.. Meyers does not know If the box
contained a body when ii was brought out
there. Britton explained to the board that
ne was busy on the election board that day
and left the burial to his men. He stated
positively that no bodies had ever been sold
from his morgue. He claimed that he had
lived strictly up TO the terms of his con-
The board will probably advertise for
bids and let d new contract at once.
