N0Onbnueu FROM rage One.1
held mutually Objectionable by the state
board Of accounts some time ago on
the grounds that Snider in one capacity
was an agent of the board and In the
other was placed in the position of be-
ing interested in a contract with the
board
Mr.. Walkers opinion was based on the
theory that as a matter of fact both
contracts are with the firm of Snider &
Rotz. This conclusion is reached IN this
manner:
L. A. snider is a member Of the firm
Of Snider s. Rotz and as such every con-
tract In the scope Of the partnership
which is entered into by Snder as an in
dividual inures to the benefit of the
partnership just as If made by the part
nership. Since a partner can not con-
tract to his individual advantage ex-
elusive Of the partnership the legal eff
feet of these contracts is that they both
contract with the firm of Snider & Rotz.
1t is further stated that the tyo con-
tracts exclude each other and do not
overlap.
MRS. TUTEWILER
STARTS FIREWORKS.
Following the motion made by Mr..
Crippin that the election Of officials Of the
board be made in executive session and
that the press be excluded, Mrs. Tute-
wiler arose and said that first she would
like to read a statement This WINS the
beginning Of the real fireworks of the
evening
Her statement was as follows
The majority of the school board has
sat In silence and watched the efforts
Of the Indianapolis News and Mr. Barry
who work together.
This combined force has sought In
devious ways to discredit the board aud
bring disgrace to It's fair name, but the
majority, confident that they were In
the right, and believing that truth must
In the end prevail, have continued giving
their best efforts honestly and consci
entiously to the betterment of the Indi-
annapolis schools.
THE Indianapolis News, not particular
as to its methods, is seeking to gain
control Of the civil city of Indianapolis,
and Of the school city. Many of the best
thinkers of our city are already oues-
tioning the honesty Of their motives.
The honesty Of the Indianapolis News
has often been questioned and its verac-
ity has been discredited in the Federal
Court.
las to Mr.. Barry:
why should Mr.. Barry sit on the
board and seek to block all progress of
the public schools? Traditionally the
church to which Nj. Barry belongs has
not been in accord with the purposes of
our public schools. But these are mat
tiers that Mr.. Barry will have to explain
himself to the people of indianapolis.
Il have only a few words to say re-
garding our business director and then
l am through.
Mr. Hit, a man Of culture and of
scholarly attachments is one Of the
kindliest and most courteous gentlemen
/ have ever met. The board made 1t
known to Mr.. Hit year ago that he
was not conducting the rapidly growing
business Of the schools in approved bus
mess methods with the result that there
has been great financial loss to the
school city.
ut was never the intention of our
board to disgrace or humiltate in any
way. Mr.. Hit. for whom we all have the
kindest feelings 1t was our intention
to wait until his term expired, with the
hope that he, under the circumstances,
would resign
Mr.. Hit is the victim of his pretended
friend, the indianapolis News.
"Uais paper. under the guise of friend
ship, took the Roney reports which was
only a report of verified faces, and read
ing that report, proceeded TO try, con-
denim and sentence Mr.. Hitf-
The board regrets exceedingly the
