and Action Postponed Iutil
Next Meeting

George w. Duncan was again before
tine Levy Court this morning in reference
to his bin of $3.50 for dirt used In the
construction oi Silver Run road. Mr..
Duncan has been before the court fifteen
times since last November but will not
he compelled TO go again, as the members
hv @ majority vote refused to allow the
bill ON The ground that the dirt was
taken under a contract providing for IL Co
he used on the road.
Mr. Wnits said that the minutes set
ting ont that Mr.. Duncan had agreed
that the new road should Dee part and
parcel of Silver Run road We're correct
as Mr.. Duncan was m conversation with
him when the agreement was made.
What arrangement had been made with
MIR. Armstrong he did not know, but he
was positive that the entry i'm the min.
utes were correct
Mr.. Armstrong. It is said made the
contract with Duncan when the road
was first built which provided that all
dirt used in it should be taken from his
property alta cost of 9i00.
Mr.. Armstrong did not think the bill
should be naid because the dirt taken
came under the ntract.
The contention of John IT, Rodney
who represents Duncan, was that the
cross road ON which the disputed dirt
was used was not a part of Silver Ruu
road and they expected the county to pay
the bill
Mr.. Conrad asked Mr. Duncan what
consideration he gave for certain plank'
that he took
lie reulied. 81 did not pay anyihins
for them Mr.. Fahey put them down
and he said / could have them when the
work was iinishcu.'
Mr.. Conrad sand there was hut one fact
tnat should be established and that was
IL the sluice road is part and parcel of
Silver Run road then 10 is covered by
the agreement TO furnish dirt III it D.
not then the bin Us just one.
Ina order that the matter might he dis
posed of Mr. Armstrong moved that tia,
bin be disallowod. The motion was car
ricd although Mr.. Ewart voted in th'
negative.
Patrick Fahcy will be requested 10 az
/ tend the meeting of the Levy Court oil
next Tuesday to discuss certain dispute
/ items in his bin for building Sevent
street bridge. Mr.. Willis thought tina
| the matter had better not bee discussed
until Mr. Fahey had an opportunity q
/ Dee present.
George a. Elliott asked that the assess
ment ON the farm lately transferred from
| Preston Pollock 90 Elizabeth Jackson, hl
reduced from $3.50 TO S2,85O. He sale
