accorded them, they were unable
to go back to their city and insure
the approval on the part Of the
voters up there OF what the majority
OF the county had already deter

was in honor bound 20 do. The
same is true Il the country districts
Since the beginning OF the court

country members have been
struttipg around rs II they were
the lords Of creation. They wanted
all TO say Of the new building as the

wanted all the recognition and took
the most conspicuous part during
the preliminary and subsequent
stapes OF the work. The RESPONSE
bility was with them as much a-
with anybody else for everything
that was done from the first. and yet
these same supervisors could not go
back to their townships outside Of

had done.
