Fiscal Court Refused to. Remove
the Turnpike Supervisor.

The motion to remove C. F. Redmon,
the turnpike Supervisor, was heard by
the Fiscal Court last Friday, at a
special meeting called for that pur-
pose. L. E. Moore, Jr., County At
torney, represented the county and
Mr.. Redmon was represented by Robt.
G. Talbot.
AS previously published in the News,
the County Attorney asked for the
removal of Mr.. Redmon on six grounds.
Flsrt, because the contracts for re-
pairing the turnpikes were not let at
the court house door at public outcry
on court day in March
Second, because, these turnpikes
were let on the 10Th day Of March at
private contract,
Third, because the Supervisor had
made contract with w. B. Linville to
work the Millersburg 4 Cynthiana
Turnpike for $7.75 per rod after P. S.
See had bid to perform this work at
81. so per rod.
Fourth, because he had made con-
tract with said Linville to repair the
Millersburg and Cane Ridge turnpike
at $7.75 per rod after P. S. See had
offered to do the same work for 81. 80
per rod.
Fifth. because the Supervisor had
contracted with Mote Rankin to repair
the Ardery pike for $500 per ROD after
P. S. See had offered to do this work
for $500 per rod.
Sixth, because the Supervisor had
contracted with John Long to repair
the Redmon turnpike at $500 per rod
after P. S. See had offered to do the
same work at $500 per rod.
P. S. See was the first witness, and
testified that he had handed Ed.
Speaks, the Assistant Turnpike Super
visor, in the presence of G. F. Red
mon, sealed bids at the prices named
in the charges, on March court day for
the work on the four turnpikes above
named and that at the same time he
bid on the Tarr Station, the Robert
Tarr, the Paris and Jackstown, Car
Isle and Plum and Steel Ford Turn
pixies and that he received contracts
on all of said turnpikes except thefirst
four named in the above charges and
that Mr.. Ed Rice of North Middle
town, signed his bonds for these con.
tracts and that Mr.. Redmon told him
that Squire ThomasOn wanted W. B.
Linville to have the Millersburg and
Cynthiana turnpike contract.
See further said that he had con-
tracts with the county last year and
the work was accepted by the Supervi-
sor and paid for.
Sherman Stivers testified that Mr..
Redmon told him latter the contracts
were made that in no instance had any
of the turnpikes been let at higher
price than the bids that he had -receiv-
ed.
C. F. Redmon then testified in his

Would Be Great Improvement.

In recent issue me made notice
where the City Council instructed
Mayor O'Brien to consult with kthe T..
& N. people in regard to tunneling uh
der the railroad on Vine street At
the recent meeting of the Fiscal
Court, Mr.. c. M. Clay, who resides on
the Winchester pike. appeared before
the court and urged the necessity of
something to be done as the above
steps being taken by the city. Judge
Dundon appointed 'Squires Claybrook
and Keller as committee to meet
with the City Council and officials of
the L. & N. to devise some means by
which the tunneling of Vine street I'M
der the railroad could be made and the
probable cost of the work that each
would bear. This would indeed be a
great Improvement and convenience to
the residents who reside on the Win
chester pike. AS it is now, there are
SIX tracks they have to cross on VIM
chester street.

own behalf and said that the County
Attorney had told him on March court
day not to let the contracts under seal
ed bids, but to let them publicly at the
| court house door. and that he refused
to do it, and after he had received the
sealed bids, the County Attorney pro-
| tested to the Fiscal Court because the
contracts were not let at rublic cutlery,
and that for that reason he obtained
the consentfof the County Judge to let
did let them privately and claimed
less than the original bids.
He admitted that he let w. b. Lin
vile have the MilIersburg and Cynthi-
ana and the Riddles Mills and Millers-
burg pixies for $7.75 per rod after See
had bid to do the same work for ST. so.
per rod, claiming that See had not paid
some of the farmers for rock along
the roads that he had worked last year
and that he was afraid that he could
not get the rock, and that he had been
! bothered by persons attaching Sees
money, etc.
Mr.. Redmon denied that See bid on.
the Ardery and Redmon pixies, and
said that he did not let See have any
contracts where anyone bid on the
same work. There were several other
witnesses that testified 10 Mr.. Redmon
as to minor details.
Mr.. Talbot argued the case for Mr..
Rednon, claiming that to remove him
from Office was too severe punishment
for such small matters even if Mr.. Red
mon was wrong. Mr.. Moore closed
the argument, contending that it re-
quired no skill to break and spread
rock and that is such work, the low
est bidder was always the best bidder,
especially as the contractor was. COM
PEELED to give good bond for the per-
Torrance of hisc Cntract.
After hearing the evidence and argu-
ment the court voted unanimously
against the removal of Mr.. Redmon.
