RA|NtY DOES NOT
DENY LIABILITY To
PAY FOR INSPECTION
OWNER OF TURNPlKES ADMIT
OBLIGATION TO MAKE
PAYM1NT.
IS READY FOR SETTLEMENT
Does Not Think, However, That Coun-
ty Has Any Proper Jurisdiction Over
Question, But One Between Com
panies and Board.

Horace Rainey, principal owner of
several of the turnpikes of the county
again whom the resolution of the
County Court on Monday directing
the county attorney to institute suit
for the collection of fees due the turn
pike superintendent for annual in
spections, stated this morning that he
did not deny and had never denied
the liability of his companies for the
payment of the inspection fees.
On the contrary, Mr. Rainey said
that he recognized and admitted that
under the laws of the state and the
charters of his turnpike companies,
taht they were liable for the payment
of the inspection fees. He said also
that he was ready to settle with the
members of the commission for their
inspection.
Mr.. Rainey declared, however, that
he did not think it within the prov
ince of the County Court to direct
the legal machinery of the county
be used for the collection of a debt
Of his companies due to superinten-
dents of the turnpikes; in other words,
the question of fees to the superinten-
dents was a matter between the COM
panies and those officials and not one
about which the County Court should
be concerned or spend the county's
money. He looked upon the payment
of these fees as purely private mat
ter between the companies and the
superintendent and not one within
the rightful jurisdiction of the County
Court.
Mr. Rainey stated:
1.-THE resolution offered by Senator
Church authorizing the county attor
ney to bring suit against me and the

me, to collect the fees of the turn

sary and unjust, and would not pay
for that inspection. Senator Church
could have found out the truth of this
matter very easily, if he had cared
to do SO.
The law and also our charters re-
quire us to pay the commissioners
their fees, and we are ready to settle
with them at any time.
"We cannot understand why the
County Court feels called upon to
bring suit to collect the commission
ers' fees. 1t is altogether a private
matter between our turnpike com
panies and the commissioners, and if
the commissioners feel aggrieved, why
they are the proper ones to bring
suit The law requires the turnpike
commissioners to inspect turnpikes
once each year, and they are also
required, whenever called upon in a
legal manner to make other inspec-
tons; and they are also required to
make a report to the County Court.
They made their anual inspection
some time last October, and at the
| meeting of the court last Tuesday,
they submitted their report and wound
| UP that report with the statement that
| had refused to pay their fees. Now,
that is altogether untrue, and why
| they should make such report, is
| beyong my comprehension And, be-
sides this report is to be placed upon
the records of the court, and cannot
understand why the court wishes to
place upon the records an altogether
private matter between the commits
sioners and our turnpike companies,
for it does us a very great injury to
! publish to the world that we do not
pay our debts 1t has no place on the
records, and should not be put there
and we do not think that the County
Court should take it upon itself to
spend the county's money prosecuting
us, in order to collect the debts OF
other parties.
Il think it is time that Senator
Church and his followers were letting
our turnpike companies enjoy our
property in peace"
