Commissioner Johnston Silent.

Commissioner Johnston, who was largely

of Mr.. Horstmann as excise inspector,
today declined to comment in any way
on the case
Concerning the probability tf the filing
of charges against the excise board by
the deposed assistant clerk, w. p. Rich
ards. who in his capacity as assessor of
the District serves as eX-Offico chairma n
of the excise board, declared he would
welcome any investigation into the per-
sonal characters of the members of the
board or of any of their official acts.
The excise board is an Independent
body" he said. "and as such 1T is not
responsible to the District Commission
ers To be sure, the Commissioners
have the power Of appointment of the
board of assessors. and these same as
SCISSORS constitute the excise board: !:
but this whole difficulty has arisen be-
cause the assistant clerk of the excise
board. serving as excise inspector. has
seen fit to act in seemingly mysteri
Gus manner and to make his reports to
excise board. I do not understand the
reason for an employe of the board ap-
parently seeking to bring about situ-
alton that tends to show a conflict in
authority between the excise board and
the Board of District Commissioners
when there Is no apparent behedtf f6 BE
gained by such action, and when no,
conflict in authority can exist. The net
result has been to evolve a tangle
