ASKING FOR RECALL OF
COMMISSIONERS. 4

A meeting of the citizens and tax
payers was called and held al
Adrian on Saturday, April 81. 81
delegates were present from many
sections Of the county and it was
generally conceded to have been the
most representative gathering ever
assembled in the county.
The action of commissioners D. C..
rhiemens and J. C. White in pur-
chasing lots and ordering the con-
struction of a new court house with
out consulting the voters and tax-
payers was branded as fragrant
abuse of the trust which the people
had placed in them. 1t was con-
sidered especially reprehsnsive on
the part of ]. C. White. VINO had
pledged himself before the election
against the proposition.
it was pointed out that the thing
was done at a special session, that
negotiations had been carried on
secretly for the purchase of the lots

secret with an architect and con.
tractors and that the whole pro.

licity.
The indignation at the meeting OF
the people knew no bounds. Rum.
DTS were ever current that tar and
feathers should be applied and that
the two commissioners ought to be
carried on rails beyond the county
boundary. Calmer consul prevailed
however, and the meeting proceeded
in most orderly manner to con-
slider how to prevent the proposed
raid upon the county treasury.
There was no oratory. The mer

ment was passed by risingvote. A
second rising vote demanded un,
animously that recall proceeding be
begun Immediately to oust Thiemens
and White from office.
1t was pointed out that the cost OF
various building materials and ladol
had increased tremendously on ac-
count of the war If new court
house were necessary, it might pro-
badly be built after the war at hall
the present cost. And there seemed
to be but one opinion that with The
mems and White on the board the
cost would exceed the estimate seve.
RI times and the burden oftaxtion
was already too heavy n this county.

were charged to have marked many
