COUNTY SEEKS
LEGISLATION

Philip l.. Garrett, the attorney, is
preparing a number Of bills to be pre-
sented to the Legislature in the inter-
est Of the Levy Court. During the
past few years the Levy Court has had
considerable trouble throughout the
county while erecting bridges. Prop
erty owners adjoining many bridges
sites have refused to permit a tenn
porary bridge to be erected as a con-
quence the public road in such cases
must be closed and the travelling pub
lie is greatly inconvenienced. One
bill now being prepared by Mr.. Gar
rett calls for the appointment OF q
commission to condemn such ground
as is required for the time being.
There are times, too, when material
for filling in the approaches and farm
ers become contrary and object to Civ
ing any filling in material without
charging what the county regards as
an exorbiant price. In such a case a
commission is contemplated so thai
such troubles can be eyaded here
after.
In several places through the coun-
ty there are little streams and by theiI
crooked course the bed Of the county
ty road often is washed way. A bill
will be submitted calling for a com
mission when necessary to straighter
such a stream and asks damages fol
making the change across the land.

BURTON ATTACKS
SENATOR LORTMER

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6-Senator
Burton today spoke in the Lorimer
case.
Mr.. Burton gave a comprehensive
review Of court decisions and parlia-
mentarw precendents bearing on the
case. He gradually led to a state
ment Of his conclusions in which he
said;
1T is PERFECTLY evident that fraud
was so rampant and dishonesty so
widespread in this election that is i'm
possible to separate the sound votes
from the unsound votes. When there
is indubitable proof, as here, that
fraud and bribery have been resorted
to, no one can derive from the cess
pool Of corruption any conclusion ex-
cept that no election was had.
Undoubted proof is available not
only to show that a sufficient number
or bribed persons cast their votes
for Mr.. Lorimer 20 invalidate his cleo
tion, but also that on other g-ounds
than this there was not valid choice.
There are strong arguments to sus-
tain a presumption that not only 4.
s, 3 or 10 were corrupted but that
possibly thirty cast their votes under
the influence Of bribery or dishonesty.
"It is for the Senate of the United
/ States. from its seat OF honor and
power TO declare that its record must
be unsulliej and registe~ its pudg-
ment for the principle that uowhers
/ shall a dishonest vote or a dishonest
= count be tolerated

Water Board Hasn't Got the
Price.

A representative of The Pitometer
Company Of New York. Edward s.
Cole, was present at this mornings
meeting of the Board of Water Com
missioners and explained their meth
cd Of detecting and eliminating un-
derground leakage Of water systems.

$500 and its inventor claims that it
detects all underground leakage such
as is caused by broken piping, joint
wearings or such other matters.

favor Of the purchase Of one of the
pitometers. contending that it would
take but short time for the saving
which would be effected through its
purchase to pay for. the instrument.
Although the commissioners we're
in favor Of the plan for purchasing n
pitometer, they said. their limited ap-
preparations forbid any such an ex-
penditure at this time.

insisted upon the payment Of the bill

that all offices whether connected with
water facilities or not, shall pay the
stipulated rental.
This however, was decided to be un-
just in Mr.. Sharp's case and the bill
