might devote her time to public stem
ography work. Mr.. Jones also claims
that Mrs. Allen would not be respons-
ible for the money of her office II de-
posted quarterly, as he says she prom
Used to do, for she would have dupli-
cate voucher showing each payment
Mr.. Jones' communication follows:
Editor Tines Republican,: In or
der that the. public may more fully UNI
derstand the matter, and not be de-
sceived by Mrs. Aliens letter, VIII say
that when Mrs Allen says the fees or
her office are deposited to the credit
of the county she is not telling the
truth The money is now deposited
in the name of the county recorder, ana
the county recorder is Mrs. Allen. The
money can never be deposited to the
credit Of the county until it has been
paid to the county treasurer and he
has deposited it, and then 1t is pro-
tected by the bond given by the bank.
When she says that she would stu be
responsible for the money If she did
pay it in, she knows that is not the
fact, for she has duplicate cash
voucher to show that she has paid the
money in.
..Why doesn't Mrs. Allen publish
the opinion Of the attorney general in
full? If it is an official opinion, the
public is entitled to know what 1T IS;
il it is not official, then it carries no
more weight than any other, attorneys
opinion. The fact of the matter Is
that Mrs. Allen Is very much dis
gruntled because the board refused last
fall to raise the salary of her deputy
instead of cutting it down. on account
of the fees not being enough to pay
the salaries by s160. She had made her
plans to run a stenographer's office IN
the recorders office: the high priced
deputy to do the recorders work, while
she was going to draw her salary OF
$1,000 from the county and run the
stenography business, The board re-
fused to allow her to do it, and that IS
the reason she has acted as she has,
for she told me last fall that she would
pay ID the fees quarterly, when told
her was not satisfied because Miss
Evans had not paid in the fees as she
should have done.
..Mrs. Allen, since she was elected
to Office, has got the impression that
she is not under the supervision OF the
board OF supervisors, and objects de-
cidedly to the farmer, supervisor" as
she calls him, telling her what she shall
do. The board Of supervisors have
made up their minds, and they are
going to know who is running the
county affairs-the board or some OF
the under off!eersand they are go
ing to settle the question OF whether
the recorder and auditor can hold out
the fees Of their OFFICES for the whole
year. III they can hold them, then IT
lis time the law was changed; II they
can not, then they must be paid In.
The board Of supervisors are more
than willing that this matter shall be
submitted to Judge Bradshaw, II he
can take 1t up now, but as he is here
only to take up the paving cases,
doubt whether he would take It up.
Yours respectfully.

Judge Bradshaw Overrnles Part
ofMotion By Which 1t Sought
to Escape Paving Suits
MOTION SUSTAINED IN PART
Ruling Denies city's Request That
All Objections Raised Oyer construe-
ton Of Work Be Stricken Out Of
Property Owners Petitions - sus-
tanned Part Of Motion.

Judge C. b. Bradshaw, in the dis
trict court this morning. overruled In
part and sustained in part the motion
filed by the city Id the asphalt paving
cases during the regular March term.
The ruling Is victory for the prop
serty owners, who are fighting the as
.sessment for the paving, because 1t
overrules that part of the motion by
which the city sought to escape from
defending the quality Of the asphalt
paving, which is the real basis of the
law suits.
The motion touched on three irnpor-
tant phases OF the cases. the most I'M
portant of which fwas the clause In
which 1t was asked that all questions
raised over the construction OF. the
work. be stricken out. Had this part OF
the motion been sustained the most VI
tai part of the controversy would have
been eliminated from the cases.
Those sections OF the motion In
which II was asked that all questions
relative to the objections made on the
grounds that the city was indebted be-
yond it's legal limit, and all objections
made on the ground that the asphalt
PUT in the pavement was controlled by
a monopoly be stricken, We're sus-
tanned.
The motion was made in the case Of
Gross vs the City Of Marshalhown, but
by agreement the ruling was made to
apply to all Of the cases pending.
