NEWBERRY TO
RESIGN, REPORT
Michigan Senator Has Lost 40
Pounds Since jury De-
clared Him Guilty.

GRAND RAPIDS. Mich, Nov. 26.-Dis-
patches received here state that United
States Senator Truman Newberry of
Michigan win resign his seat IN the SEN
ate before Feb. l. 1921. no matter how
the question is settled by the Supreme
Court next January. His friends con-
tend that he would have resigned long
ago but for the fear OF pleasing Cover
nor Sleeper.
Senator Newberry and Governor Sleep
er, it is declared, have not been the
best Of friends for a long time New
berry thinks It would give Sleeper IN
allOyed pleasure to name a Newberry
successor to the United States Senate,
Such a pleasure IS not for Sleeper II
Newberry can prevent. He can do this
by retaining control OF his seat in the
Senate until after midnight Dec. 81,
1921. at which time Sleeper ceases to
be Governor OF the State Of Michigan.
Governor Elect Groesbeck stands high
in the esteem Of Senator Newberry, who
would Ike GrOesbeck to have the ap-
pointment Of a Senator from Michigan.
That Newberry has worried consider
ably is testified TO by the fact that he
has lost as least forty pounds In weight
since the day the Federal jury declared
he was guilty Of wrong doing in the
senatorial election.

MAINTENANCE
BOND NEEDLESS
BURDEN-GEORGE
Not Called on in Five Years
He Has Handled Road
Work in County.

In DO case during the last FIVE years
has a contractor been forced under the
much discussed maintenance bonds to
correct defects IN road construction,
Lewis George, president Of the Marion
County commissioners declared today.
Mr. George declared his belief that
the maintenance bonds, for tho lack OF
which the commissioners have been sub
Jected 20 much criticism. are unneces-
sary and simply add to the burden OF
the taxpayer
He pointed out that the State high
way commission and the Federal Govern
ment do not require maintenance bonds
In road construction.
my hve years experience on the board
has convinced me that A maintenance
bond fs unnecessary" Mr.. George said.
Marion County Is the only county in
the state, with one exception, demanding
such bonds.
since have been on the board we
have never been compelled to force a
contractor under a maintenance bond
to correct defects In road construction.
We had one case Of faulty construction.
but a specific amount was deducted from
the contract price and held until It was
corrected"
Mr.. George pointed ont that in every
case contractors can be forced to carry
out the terms OF their contracts
"The county is protected without a
maintenance bond. Il makes an addi-
tionaI burden to the contractors, but IT
is the taxpayers who foot the bin. The
Taxpayers are protected by the contract
and the Specifications. No road is any
better than It's specifications. The inspec-
tor is there to enforce the specification
TO the letter" said Mr.. George.
1t is thought that when special com
mittee reports on new specifications for
road building to be followed by the com
missioners next year I'm awarding con
tracts. that one Of the recommendations
will be that maintenance bonds be not
required of the contractors.
