MRS. GORDON CAN SEE
COUNTY TAX BOOKS.
President Walton Invites Full
Investigation Of Anne Arun-
del Road Expenses.

Mrs. Alexander Gordon's letter to
the Anne Arundel County Commission
ers touching her desire to have a full
and open investigation of the books
of the office in relation to the eXpendi-
ture of road funds has met with per-
fectly frank agreement on the part
of the county authorities.
President Walton of the Commits
sioners says Mrs. Gordon is perfectly
at liberty to hire an expert account
ant to go over the books and ascer-
tain just how the road tax is being
spent. LAS to the charge by Mrs.
Gordon that the road being built be-
tween the Annapolis Boulevard and
ST Margarets by Senator F. M. Du-
vail is only for the benefit of Senator
Duvall," said Mr.. Walton, this is per-
fectly absurd. Senator Duvall," he
continued, "got that contract because
he was the only one who bid for it.
Advertisements appeared for two
weeks. Contractors were asked to
send in bids, but none responded ex-
cept Senator Duvall. AS the amount
