Rumors That Two Members In
Polk Co. May Resign.

Des Moines, April IA new and
turn has been taken in
the affairs OF the Polk county board
of supervisors as result of which
two members of the board probably
will resign and retire.

suit of some investigation made into
the manner of letting bridge con-
tracts prior to the going into effect OF
the present law for supervision of
bridge contracts, two members of the
board suddenly retired from office
rather than face actions for removal.
Recently a big scandal was stirred
up over the discovery that the court
house was being used as a kind OF
midnight club. ana county officials
supplied with keys were able to get
behind the closed doors where a
great many things happneed after
hours that we're not ON the proper
