final judgment, and recover the tax
payers money that has been paid
out through the board of county
commissioners heretofore.
Roads and Bridges.
We, the grand jury, find that for
the II months period ending No
vember 30, 1918, that the total
amount expended for road and
bridge construction and maintenance
in Carter county, Oklahoma, has
amounted in round numbers to
S5o0,000. From the claims as filed
we have been unable to determine
the amount expended Tor mainten-
ance,, and it is further impossible to
definitely determine the location Of
the roads on which a large part OF
this amount is supposed to have
been expended. Numerous claims
are indefinite as to the character Of
service rendered and the particular
section and mile Of road to which
the labor as specified in said claim
should be charged.
We find that L. E. Gravelle and c.
c. Baker, acting as engineers for the
county, have been negligent and dis
honest in the administration Of their
official duties, and that they have
favored certain contractors in the
approval Of claims and have con-
nived at the making of unconscion-
able contracts with the county for
road construction, whereby the
county has been defrauded of large
sums of money.
We, the grand jury, further find,
that the field notes and other engin-
cering records, which were in the
files of the engineering department,
have since the investigation of the
grand jury, mysteriously disappeared
to the detriment Of the making OF a
rcsurvey which fact made it impoS-
sible to verify the amount OF road
construction actually done in the
county. These field notes were in the
possession OF the engineering de-
partment during the administration
OF c. {. Baker, but we have been un-
able to definitely fix the deSponsibil-
ny for their disappearance. As near
as we can arrive at the date Of this
disappearance is about the time OF
the conycning Of this grand jury.
Notwithstanding the large sums OF
money that purports to have been
expended, roads OF Carter county are
yet IN a deplorable condition, and
many places impossible.
In this connection, We find that
the board OF county commissioners
employed the McIntoSh-Walto Co.
OF Oklahoma City as consulting en-
SlneerN' on the proposed expenditure
or the proceeds OF a S2OO.OOO bond

MEAT WILL REMAIN
: HIGH, SAY PACKERS
Signing of Armistice Added 200.-
100000 to Allies Dependents.

Chicago, April 1l.-Present high
prices of meats will continue for a
long time and may 60 higher
This was an Official statement given
out here today by the American Meat
Packers Association regarding prices
and their probable trend. The assu-
citation includes large and small
packers.
With hungry nations in Europe de-
pending on this country for meat, the
increased demand is bound 10 keep
prices UP, the association said. In
stead of reducing the demand for
meat the signing of the arrnlstice
added 200.ooooc0 additional mouths to
feed, it, was estimated.
The war has decreased by one
half the supply of livestock in West
ern ard Central Europe and the brunt
of replacing this must be borne by
the United States. South America and

ny BRoADAN WALL.

New York. April 1.-wali Street was
quiet today. the volume of trading be-
ing materially lessened for several
reasons. Advance of ss5. 900, 900 In the
wages OF trainmen was unexpected.
1t was almost as much a shock as the
$40 assessment on American interna-
tional stock. This wage advance
makes a total OF s91o, ,0oo, 600 since the
government took charge of the rail-
roads. News from Paris was not por-
ticularly cheerful.
Oils were favorites in early trading.
Reports came from several fields OF
new discoveries. One of the most i'm
portant of these was the proving by
the Ohio Cities Gas of new oil pool
of very high-grade production in West
Virginia. Other good news came from
Wyoming and the Ranger Field. The
result was rather heavy transactions
in oil stocks other than those repre-
senting Mexican properties.
Baldwin was very strong. but the
heaviness of United States Steel
checked its advance. Announcement
was made Of lower prices for con-
struction material and it was gen.
orally believed that the steel man in
favor of an open market had won.
The United States Steel Corporation
had been against an open market for
steel. but Is itself in a position TO de-
rive greater benefit from such a mar
ket than any other company.
Bethlehem Steel was the feature Of
the closing hour. rising to IS for the
b stock, a net advance of more than
points.
Oklahoma Producing and Refining

in IL was animated.
