Of MOUNTS
CHARGES AROUS|NG
INTENSE INTEREST

What will the county commits
sioners do with the Jr NJ. Mounts
case?
Is Torger Peterson going to
try to whitewash his supervisor
or make him the scapegoat?
Citizens are watching the thing
and getting interested and the ac-
ton of the commissioners VIII be
scrutinized carefully.
The matter comes up next Tues
day.
Charges are made against
Mounts and his answer practical
ly admits the truth of them ALL
He even admits that he mas coun-
ty money in his pockets, where
he collected twice for the same
work.
His explanation is as crude,
however, as his game of grab.
He says the $S4.50 he took from
the general road fund and then
took from the Tutt-Peacner road
fund represented special charges
for a month which were coming
to him. But his schedule of
these charges was $9r.
Now the question is why this
discrepancy between $91 and the
$S4.50.
The fact Is the records of
Mounts are so tangled that neith-
er he nor anybody else will prob
ably ever be able to fathom
them completely. He admits,
however, that he charged up
$S4.50 to a road on which no
such charge for work existed and
