ment to obtain the Attorney Generals
JAMES LOGAN.
Sworn and subscribed before me this thirty
first day OF July, 1918.
WIN. H. HEISLER,
Notary Public of New Jersey.
Following is a copy of a letter which
Russ claims to have sent to Col. Stevens:
Delanco, N. j., July 2, 1913.
State Road Commissioner.
NV Dear Sir:
1t was stated al our last meeting that some
mysterious force had been at work since the
nrst OF the year trying to get Logan out of or
discharged from holding the Office of road SUI
PPeTGvhisor; inferripg that was the person who
you this to ask If either yourself or any one
In your employ has any knowledge of my
acting in this capacity? The copy of the
opinion OF the Attorney General relative to
the offices of engineer and road supervisor
was presented to the Board of Freeh0lders
and the remarks were to the effect that it
was neither any of your business nor the
business of the Attorney General what Bur-
nngton county did in the matter, and the
Board was not required to pay any attention
to the matter whatsoever. 1t was stated by
Mr. Logan that you were not in sympathy
with the opinion of the Attorney General
and that you desired that he hold both offices
NOW Il this Is correct, IN your letter to me
have called meeting to consider It,
Sincerely yours,
HOWARD RUSS.
Director.
A motion was then made to adjourn
to Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock,
but action was checked by DIR. LeJambre
who said he had a question to ask.
HAS Logan properly performed the
duties of his two offices?'' This query
was put separately to each member of
the Board and Messrs. Engle, Dudley
and Roberts said he had. Russ faltered
somewhat in his reply, 81 suppose so. .
ms evidence of Logan's capability will
be of material importance in the future.
The members all said that there was no
kick as to his ability.
After accomplishing his point on this |
line, DIR. LeJambre then went after
Director Russ by stating: I'VE have an |
attorney, and | asked some months ago |
TO have him discharged. You are acting |
hand in hand with him. He has done
for use and yet you harbor him" |
That has nothing to do with Logan" |
broke in the Director, who continued |
we have contract with Rigg. Col. |
Stevens said he would not pay any more |
money out of state allotments to this |
county until the matter was cleared up"
A question was asked, and Rigg re-
Piled that if Stevens refused to give state
money he did not know how the Board |
could get it, and Russ said he did not
see how the freeholders could get along
without it.
Before adjournment Director Russ said
there were some legal matters that would
require discussion at future meeting
and he probably had reference to mat
ier that may be sprung at the session to-
morrow, when there will be an effort
made to elect a Supervisor in place of
Logan. At least this is the program
It the present time and there is
,nly one candidate in the field and he
comes from the river front. MIR. Logan
nay not resign, in which case there will
lot be any vacancy to fill, hence there
Will be no necessity for action of this
dnd except to create all the sentiment
possible against the small Board previous
o the special election to be held on
August 18th.
