purchase the most Of the flour needed
for the institution from the Roller Mills
company, it was alleged.
To Avoid Appearance of Wrong.
The committee appointed by the board
OF supervisors to audit the report of the
asylum trustees brought before the board
a report which contained this paragraph:

recommend that In order to avoid the ap-
pearance Of any wrong that members of
OF supplies for our county institutions be
not members of the boards of trustees that
purchase said supplies.
Let's Loose Storm.
This let loose the storm. The next
day Mr.. Mosher himself appeared before
the board and delivered lengthy ad-
dress, in which he defended his conduct
on the grounds that the Roller Mills
company sold the -four to the asylum for
