brough of Cata,;ia, Ga, containing
number of questions With reference
to his administration, shows the ut
ter falsty of charges uttered against
him by his opponent, ]. J. Brown, and
concludes with statement showing
that Brown has, at every opportunity,
done the very things Of which he now
so loudly complains
Commissioner Price has been in of
fee only three years and two months,
beginning July 1, 1913, and not six

decessor in the office was ]. j. Con

What They Spent
During tbat time I could not make

pointees OF Conner and Brown, dur

OF their service covered in the audi

pies, bottles and eXpressage Brown
is making a great to do about these
expenses, and Ismerely wish the public
TO know that his own and Corners
app0intees spent their full share Of it.
Il appointed the successors to these
men and in every case the appoint
ment was made in precise requirement
with law The expenses of these "a
men, aggregating $32, t20.S3 for two
years, and required by law, averaged
only $500 per month per man. With
