We are further unwilling to at
tend your meetings because the char
acter of your discussion renders it

your purpose is or what definite OBJ
iect you have in View. No good can
possibly come to the people of the

we do not propose to be drawn into

are under absolutely no CONTROL, and

absurd and a abominable is allowed
unreserved expression. The present
Board of County Commissioners hold
the title of their office by the man
date of the people. Two of them ny
overwhelming majorities. While
one was forced to defend his title in
the courts, neither of them had to
resort to the courts to secure title
! which was denied by the voters of
the people, consequently no cloud
hangs over their title to the office.
The vote we received is evidence
of the fact that said voters not only
fully understood the abnormal condl-
tions and unusual circumstances
which the County faced, but believed
we would conscientously and sin
cerely render the best that is in us
towards solving the great problems
we faced. We are hi nan and of
course subject to the weakness of
the race and consequently we would
be super-human were We not to|
make some mistakes. We do not be-
lieve that any previous Board ever
entered Office under such trying con-
ditions as the present Board faced,
put us in office, (and more besides
are generously but silently standing
behind us in our efforts toward meet

Our attitude is just this: if your

Dear Sir
After taking all circumstances in
to consideration, we have concluded
to let the matter of Road Engineer
