BOARDS WORK
ABOVE BOARD
Statement From Supervisor
in Reference to Bond
Issue Funds

A great many statements are being
made rs to the fees to be paid to the
lawyers who have been employed by
the Board of Supervisors in connec-
tion with the work relative to our
bond issue, not single one of which
80 far as we know, has any founda-
tion of fact. therefore, we feel i'm.
PEELED to make statement of what
has actually occurred, feeling as we
do that it is both due the public and
alos the Board that nothing be kept
back
In the first place, it has certainly
not been the intention of the Board
of Supervisors, as whole, or as in
dividuals. to do anything except what
was for the best interest of Tazewell
county, nor has it been the intention
of the Board to do anything in secret,
or to fail to fully discharge any and
all its actions with reference to our
bond issue, and all other pulic mat
ters.
When Messrs. Geo. w. st. Clair and
&c. Bowen were employed ms Finan-
cial Agents, the chairman of the
Board asked them to fix their fee
which they did not do, giving as
reason, that no one could at that time
foresee how much work would neces-
airly have to be done before the ulti-
mate conclusion of all matters per-
tanning to the sale of the bonds, but
MIR. st. Clair assured the Board that
their charges would be reasonable, and
also said thnt if the Board elected to
do so, it could fix the fee and he and
Mr.. Bowen would accept it. 1t is
false that one member of the Board
suggested fee of So, 900, which was
turned down by the other two mem-
bers. No statement could be further
from the truth. The action in the
Circuit Court to test certain legal
questions raised by John H. Nuveen
and Company was brought by two
members of the Board in the absence
of the Chairman, but in which he
concurs. 1t was necessary to do this.
as the Circuit Court was getting near
adjournment, and to have failed to
have brought this action at the time
it was brought would have been to
have left the questions raised by Nu-
veen and Company unsettled indef-
nitely, and the Board of Supervisors
with $625, 600 of Tazewell county
bonds, all unsold, ard the same being
denominated and valued by propsec-
tive purchasers as District Bonds. "
The only apology the Board has to
offer for its action in this particular,
is the very able opinion of our Circuit
Court.
AS to Judge s. C. Graham's fee for
services in connection with the suit
in the Circuit Cout it has been fixed
at $500.
1t is due all the lawyers who have
had any connection with these matters
that the Board says on their behalf,
that they have been untiring in their
efforts to see that Tazewell County
got the very best possible results
from sale of its bonds, and that they
have been impelled more by public
spirit than by any fee anticipated.
c. A. WAGNER,
For the Board of Supervisors.

There is no State law authorizing
the State Department of Health to
issue free antitoxin, but in the alb
sencc of enactment, the Department
has made arrangements whereby an
ti-toxin of the first qudality can be
supplied physicians and boards of
