TOWN ELECTION
To Be Held On Monday, The 24th Day Of May, Next.

The coming election of mem- bers for the Town Council, to be
 held on the day above named, is
 quite important to the business
 interests of Williams, It is
 business men who are required
 for a Council especially for
 Williams at this time-not
 visionaries, but practical bu-
 siness men.
 The present members of the
 Council, owing to the heavy
 bonded indebtedness of the
 Town, at the time they took
 control, have had a most un-
 pleasant and burdenson task.
 They have done exceeding
 we'll under the circumstances.
 The $35, 100000 realized by the
 Town upon it's bonds, for the
 purpose of constructing an Electric Lighting Plant, had all been expended and still the Town had practically no such merely a lot of old junk, which could not be kept in any sort of running order, or give satisfaction to the people of the Town.
 F The $65.OOO.0O realized by the Town, also upon it's bonds. for securing water for the Town, had also all been ex- pended; and yet no better water, or water system than before.
 Nhe present Council by dint of close figuring, and careful management have been able to, and have secured for the Town, good Electric Lighting Plant. which is giving good service. They have also put the water works in fair working order; perhaps not the best, but the best that they could do without 1 money to work with. The entire sum of $9O,OOO.OO re, alized by the Town upon it's bonded indebtedness, had been spent somewhere.
 It still requires good practical business management to carry on the wants of the Town, and | to be able to pay the interest upon it's bonded indebtedness, which must be paid every six months.
 A few evenings ago, over 36 of the representative business, men of Williams. met at what is called the Commercial Club and after a full consideration of who would be the most quali,. fled men of the Town, and who would accept the place, and act as Councilmen, selected out of many names submitted the fol. lowing five persons: w. c. Rit- tenhouse, Erie Poison, B. F. Sweetwood, E. J. Johnson, and \ Charley Elliott, to run as condi- dates for election for the next council. The members of this Commercial Club are each and all men of their words, and each and all pledged himself and themselves to give their undi. v1ded support toward the elec- tion of the above named five men. We trust they will for once stand together and keep their promises. Three of the men are present members of the Council, and understand it's fi- nanclal condition and neces- sites, which is at this time very 
 Every one is interested in the condition of the Town. and it is to be hoped that the above named gentlemen will 'eceive the support of the peo- ole of the Town who have it's interests, and we'll being at leart, and sof those who have o pay taxes to keep the little Town up.

since April 6, 1917. These customs were
estimated at approximately $3.50. 900. 900,
and the FrendA Government further as
sumed the payment of approximately
10000 claims against the United States
Government arising out of the American
occupation and use of Installations and
land.
AS result of the work of the United
States Liquidation Commission the War
Department saved to the taxpayers from
the sale of surplus war material in
Europe 1912 923.225 plus the claims for
damages which would have been en-
tered against the Government. Thus the
claim that property which had cost this
country s1,390.9S9,302 was disposed Of
to the French Government for $4,000
900. payable in ten years, is entirely
erroneous.
AT the termination of hostilities there
was a great supply OF war material In
the United States far In excess of the
peace time needs of the army, and for
the disposal of this property a sales
division was organized in the War De-
partment. This sales division has dis
posed of supplies and materials OF all
kinds and to date has sold property
which cost the Government s1,132. 067.-
076 and the return to the United States
has been $S39.37S.417. Some OF the
| articles thus sold have brought the Gov
eminent so per cent. OF their original
purchase price.
The policy of the War Department
in selling surplus and reclaimed prof.
erty is to advertise extensively in bust
ness and daily papers throughout the
country a sufficient time in advance of
| the sale TO enable all interested to COM
pete. Every effort is made to allow
| the public at large to purchase whatever
articles are placed on sale, and as far
! back as August. 1919, the War Depart
ment issued instructions that in so far
| as practicable the surplus material be
disposed Of to the ultimate consumer
and that no firm, corporation, jobber,
&C.. should be considered until all other
channels had been exhausted"

WIRES BAKER TO HALT
LEATHER CONTRACT
Bosom Calls Disposal of Sur
plus Unfair.

While the War Department was issu-
charges of waste and extravaganza that
have been made against it. further criti-
cism of a serious nature came to light
here.
1t was ascertained that George c..
Bosom, who Is known throughout the
country in the leather goods industry
and who served as a Captain in the
Quartermaster's Corps with Jurisdiction
over the surplus leather goods Of the
army had telegraphed to Secretary
Baker vigorously protesting against the
recent contract by which the War De-
partment agreed to deliver it's entire
surplus of saddle and horse equipment
to the United States Harness Company,
corporation headed by men who held
commissions in the Quartermasters
Corps and who had great deal to do
with the purchasing by the Government
of the very equipment which they are
now to receive from the Government.
Declaring that the contract is unfair
to the American people and that it was
consummated without his knowledge,
despite the fact that he was supposed
to be in charge of disposition of surplus
leather goods. Capt. Bosom has asked
Secretary Baker to grant him a personal
hearing on the matter.
Capt. Bosom resigned his commission
in the Quartermaster's Corps and left
the service on October L. The announce
ment of the signing of the contract with
the United States Harness Company
was made about two weeks ago. the
War Department at the time issuing q
statement in which it asserted that it
was very fortunate to be able to dispose
of its leather stock in the manner called
for in the contract.

formed yesterday by Charles Tunley

The New York herald. [volume] (New York, N.Y.) 1920-1924, 1920-11-01

who was employed as auditor in a large
plant for the manufacture OF poison
gas, that charges of graft involving an
official OF that plant had been mailed
to Secretary Baker on May 5. and that
the War Department apparently had
paid no attention to them.
The plant In which Tunley worked
had been taken over by the Government
with all OF its appurtenances for con-
version into a poison gas factory, and
upward of $4,000 worth OF equipment
for which the Government had no use
was. according to statements which he
made In a letter to Secretary Baker,
The New York herald. [volume] (New York, N.Y.) 1920-1924, 1920-11-01

to private concerns. He charges there
was no accounting for the funds re-
ceived. and that when he sought an ac-
counting he was told that the matter
did not concern him. as it had occurred
prior to his appearance at the plant
He also stated in his letter to Sec
rotary Baker that one official OF the
plant charged the Government for items
for which he was collecting from a
private concern with which he was
transacting business, and that when he
called his attention to the fact that the
sums were being charged up twice. the
official replied. ITO hell with the Cow
eminent. This is my rakeoff."
