Stirs Up County Board.-The spirit
of ConStTaint and the strained rela-
tons that have existed among the
members of the board of supervisors
of late is understood to have culminat-
ed in open charges made in an affida
Wit by John ZOller. former chairman.
against the other members of the
board. Mr. Zoller was chairman of the
board. and was up for reelection, bat
it is said that if he wanted to be chair
man again he would first agree to let
the old committees stand without dis
arrangement. He refused TO be die
tated TO in the matter of committees
and was not made chairman. 1t is said
that Mr. ZOller became suspicious and
watched county matters with an alert
eye thereafter. The results of his
watchfulness, it is said, appear in the
affidavit TO which he has affixed his
sworn signature 1t is said to call at
tention 70 the fact that the court house
elevator which travels two stories
cost the county just twice as much
money as the elevator in the Lane
which travels five stories. a
contract which the board made for
boilers at a price which is said to be
exorbitant receives attention from the
eX-chairman Of the board in his affida-
Wit. Mr. Koller was the only man who
voted against this contract. These
and other matters it is said are touch
ed upon in the affidavit all of them
being virtually charges of graft against
the remaining members OF the board.
