ROAD BOARD TO
PASS UPON THE
TACSEXPENSES
THE COUNTY ATTORNEY HOLDS
THAT 1T HAS DISCRETION
IN THE MATTER.
DOUBTS LEGALITY OF CLAIM
But in View of the Recommendation
of the County Quarterly Court the
Commission Can Have Them Paid.
Mr.. Grove Sick.

No decision has been reached by
the county road commission on the
payment of the bill of County Court
Clerk Arch w. Lipscomb, referred to
it at the last term of the qhartely
court. This bill is for the tags used
and advertising in connection with
the enforcement of the new road law.
The road commission some time ago
refused to pay this account, taking
the position that it should be paid by
the clerk from the fee collected on
each tag.
The bills were then presented by
the clerk to the quarterly county
court and after considerable discus
sion the court referred them to the
road commission with the recommen-
dation that they be paid. The road
commission then asked County Attor-
ney Hugh Todd Shelton for an opin-
ion as to the legal liability of the
county for the payment of the bills.
In his opinion just rendered the
commission County Attorney Shelton
takes the position that while he
doubts the legal liability of the coun-
t. for the payment of the bills, under
the recommendation of the county
court, which is the custodian of the
county's finances, the commission has
full authority to pay the accounts.
A meeting was held yesterday for
the purpose of finally deciding what
would be done by the commission
since under the attorneys opinion.
Il must decide, but owing to the sick.
ness of Commissioner Grove, action
was deferred It is by no means GER
tain what action the commission will
take. II the county is legally bound.
the commissioners declare the bill
ought TO be paid, but II not they do not
feel that they would be warranted in
making settlement Just as soon as
Commissioner Grove RECEIVERS anoth-
er meeting will be held.

nors under eighteen years of age of
tobacco in any form He also stress
ed the dog law urging that it be fairly
and impartially enforced He said it
was designed to serve a good purpose
and every citizen liable therefor
should be compelled to pay the dog
tax.
Judge Turner also delivered a Wig
orous charge on gambling in all
forms. He urged indictments against
those who bet on football or baseball
or other games, or who played cards
for consideration. The various Ii
quor laws were likewise given in
charge.
The court called attention to a new
act which requires that the proper
authorities keep the stars and stripes
flying from every public school house.
This was statute, he said, designed
to bring about greater respect for
and veneration for the flag and insti.
tutions of our country.
Judge Turner called attention to the
laws against 'profiteering." He said
that in ordinary times we had depend
ed upon the law of supply and demand
to regulate profits, but under the exist
ing conditions recourse must be made
to the law where there was undue
profiteering. The law against com
binations of trusts in restraint of
trade were likewise touched upon.
Considerable time was required in
organizing the grand jury this morn
ing for many offered excuses, not all
of which were accepted by the court.
The grand jury was finally organized
as follows. William O. Witherspoon,
foreman; Alebrt Matthews, J. w.
Armstead, ]. Ripley Steele, d. Frank
Fulton, Robt. Holder, W. A. Glenn,
W. ~ Bingham, Clark T. Jones, Gid
Sellers, John A. Gilbreath, Luther

individual from the lowest to the
highest could obtain redress of
wrongs through the machinery of the
law: that all could participate alike
in the making of the law and in the
selection of the machinery for it's en-
forcement. Therefore he said that it
was not only unlawful for individuals
or associations to take the law into
their own hands but that it was in

it is essentially incumbent upon good

Fireman Ordered
Back to Duty When
Ill, Says Report
Injured at Work, Now in
Bellevue in Plaster Cast
After Five Months, Good
Government League Adds

Henry +. Williams, a fireman at
tached to Engine Company No. 16, 223
East Twentyffth Street, has been a
patient at Bellevue Hospital since last
March. He is incased in a plaster
cast from his feet to his arms and is
supported by tackle harness.
According to an investigation made
by the Good Government Bureau, Will
iams's condition is due to his having
been ordered back to duty before he
had recovered from injuries received
IN an accident.
The report of the bureau, made pub
lie yesterday says Williams was in
jured while in the performance of his
duty last January, that before he was
able to walk he was ordered back to
his station by Fire Commissioner
Thomas J. brennan and DR.. Joseph E.
Smith, chief medical officer Of the Fire
Department, and that the authorities
orders were in defiance of recommends
tions by DR.. Reginald II. Sayre, of
Bellevue Hospital. Injustice was done
THE day after he was ordered back
Williams found himself unable to
sweep the floor around his fire engine
Next he tried to lift short length
of hose and fell unconscious. He has
been in the hospital ever since and in
the five months has not gained enough
strength to raise himself from bed"
Other firemen questioned by the
bureaus Investigators reported that
there have been many instances of
grave offences against fircmen on the
part of higher officials of the depart
ment; that cruelty and inhumanity had
been practiced against Williams to a
degree calling for public knowledge
of the facts and for quick and drastic
action by Mayor Hylan relative to the
culpable officials.
Williams has wife and two chill
dren and lives at $50 East 136th Street
Neither DR.. Smith nor Commiss sioner
