faulty in construction and workman

COuNrY COMMISSIONERS, LAM.

"a IL
From the Elkton Whig.
In response 10 number of inauir-
les we want to say that we lave no
doubt in cur minds that both the
spirit and tae letter Of our Cnlnty
Commissioners Law call for the cleo
tiOn Of one county commissioier from
the Second Commissioners District
and one from the Third Commission
ers' District. The law of 1910 has
never been repealed. The law. which
Messrs. Henry l.. Constable. of Elk
ton and William Pepper Constable, Of
Baltimore, succeeded in jamming
through the last Legislature, amended
the law of 1910, so as to provide for
road supervisors, which road super
visors they named in their law. But
the law of 1910 itself was not affected
so far as il provides for the division
of the county into three commission
ers districts-the first commissioner
district to consist of the First. Second
and Third election districts: the sec
Ond TO consist of the Fourth Fifth
and Ninth election districts: the third
to coisist of the Sixth, Seventh and
Eighth election districts. Tho law
further provides that each of these
commissioner districts shall be repre-
sented on the Board of County Com
missioners by one commissioner. who
shall be a resident of the commission
er district which he represents. Now.
Mr.. J. Frank Blake will hold over as a
commissioner for two more years. and
as he lives in the First Commissioner
district (being in the Third election
district. will of course be the repre-
sentative on the Board of that First
Commissioner district. If then We are
TO follow the spirit and the letter of
the law, the Second Commissioner
district will be entitled to a commits
sioner living in either the Fourth.
Fifth or Ninth election district; and
the Third Commissioner district will.
be entitled to commissioner living
in either the Sixth, Seventh or Eighth
Commissioner district.
Some Of our lawyers hold that the
law of 1910 is not mandatory only
directory. We offer no opinion on
that phase of the matter. We only
give our readers, as some of them
nave asked us to do. tile terms of the
law Itself And by those terms. 1t
certainly seems clear that the two
commissioners to be elected this fall
should come from the Second and
Third Commissioner districts-.that
IS from one of the six election dis
tricts above the third We had moth
ing to do with the making of this
law We had nothing to do with the
Constable amendment. referred to
above. We are only stating the law
as it stands today on the statute
books.

From the Milford Chronicle.
The conditions in the towns of lower
Delaware are rapidly approaching the
point when radical steps will have to
be taken to control the shipments of
liquor into this territory. There are
many men and women who have
shipped to them gallons of liquor each
week, labelled for personal USE"
which could not be consumed by a
dozen people. The fact that the use of
liquor is being abused. Is evident by
the increasing frequency that men

The newly organized Kennewick VAL
ley club is sending out s. o. S. sign
this week-not that the organization
is in distress but r--erely in hurry.
A strenuous effort is being made to
complete the club house by March A,
so that Prof. Safro's lecture can be
given there. To do this it will be
necessary for all hands and the cook
to get busy with saws and hammers.
For this reason everybody who can or
will work is asked to report for duty
rs soon as possible and to stay on the
job as long as possible.

ASK COMMISSIONERS TO
EXPLAIN ROAD BID
Benton County Tax League Wants to
Know Why Morain Was
Awarded Contract

The county commissioners will be
taken on the carpet before the Benton
County Tax League in Prosser next
Saturday evening and asked to ex-
plain why the contract for the Ken
newick- Finley road was not let to the
lowest bidder. Last. Saturday the Bue-
ma Vista grang, Prosser, appointed
q committee to investigate the same
matter, there having been consider
able dissatisfaction expressed in the
west end of the county regarding the
letting of the contract.
When asked this afternoon if he in
tended to attend the Tax League
meeting, County Commissioner ]. B.
Clements said, "You can bet your life
/ am going to be there. The commits
sioners have nothing to be sorry. for.
in the matter and / believeI can con-
vince the tax leaguers that we not on
" accepted the best bid but that we
acted in the best interests of the coun-
ty. When you get right down to brass
tacks, it is really Kennewick's money
that we are spending and / haven't
heard any of the Kennewick taxpayers
making q holler. Nor do ever recall
that Kennewick ever stirred up any
fuss about any of the contracts that
have been let for road building in the
other end Of the county. Prosser may
have some cause for complaint in this
instance, but / fail to see where it is"

Attorney General Tanner, basing his
opinion upon supreme court decisions
of Oregon, South Dakota, Oklahoma
