TYsoN'S PROTEST.
Among the multitude of taxpayers
who have raised a cry against the
methods of the old board is z. B. Ty'
son. He has reference to the contracts
let to c. T. Emery and George b.
Squires to recopy two deed records, and
this is what he said in a communica-
ton to the board:
Gentlemen-Your petitioner respect
fully asks that your honorable body
hold in abeyance that contract
awarded TO George B. Squires and c. F.
Emery by the retiring court, for the
following reasons, to-Wit: First, that
your honorable body may have
chance to investigate to see whether it
is absolutely necessary; second, that
che contract was made not for the
public veal, not for any efficiency that
might accrue to the recorder for the act
done and performed. But for another
reason familiar to all, who have
watched the acts of the trio who
have been dismissed from office
through the acts of voters in not giving
them the proper amount of votes to re-
instate them. But that the two
worthless" who have been sucking at
the public teat for the last two years,
may keep their corporations in perfect
health and rotundity, which comes
from imbibing from a healthy and
plethoric source, which was put in the
hands of the trio dismissed. | have I'M
derstood that public contracts sNere re-
CURED by law to be published, and if
this one had been done in that manner
l would, and | doubt not that many
others would furnish bond for twice
the amount of the bid and performed
the work to the entire satisfaction of
the board. Begging pardon for my in
trusion, your petitioner respectfully
submits the above. e. B. TYSON.
1t is doubtful if the contracts can
be held in allowance" as they have
been duly signed and the colonel at
least has begun the work of copying.
The letter however, will receive some
consideration today.
