At this point the Freeholders INDUCED
in another squabble. 1t all came about
over the awarding of the contract fol
supplying trap rock to the county; wher
Mr.. Barley intimated that certain
bids had not been property considered
the Democrats plunged along in the same
delirious frenzy which possesses panic
stricken crowd in a theatre circle, and all
attempted to speak at once. Freeholder
Bowman stated that the bid of Frederic
Schmidt was the lowest submitted, and
he recommended that the contract be
awarded to him. His figures were $1.20
per ton for 2 1-2 inch stone, ST. for
l 1-2 inch stone, SLIGO for l inch stone
and $1.60 for screenings. Mr.. BARLEY
and Mr. Fancher evidently were desir-
Gus of securing the contract for E. j.
Neighbor, whose bid was $1.05 per ton
| for lime stone. Some of the members
wanted lime stone while others preferred
trap rock. This matter was argued pro-
and con, and finally Mr. Fancher
moved that all bids be rejected
and readvertised. Notwithstanding
that this time necessitates a delay
of two months the Democratic mem.
bers voted as q unit and won the victory
which is neither a creditable one nor
particularly helpful to the taxpayers of
the county
