OF the commissioners insisted that
he was or should be on the payroll.
as he had not yet been discharged.
The resolution adopted on Tues
day asking Mr.. Perkins to resign
was voted on by only three of the
commissioners, they voting in the
Affirmative while the other four
members refused to vote. This has
caused the contention to be made
by Perkins friends that as a major
lty did not vote for the resolution
the action was not legal. Some COM
missioners. however. say that a quo
rum was present at the meeting and
IL any members failed to vote on the
resolution it was their fault. They
contend that a majority of the votes
cast was sufficient to adopt the reso-
luton.
1t was intimated today that County
Engineer Charles e. Grubb would
tender his resignation to the court
unless the commissioners discharge
Mr.. Perkins.
The trouble between Engineer
Grubb and Supervisor Perkins start
ed several weeks ago. when orders
were issued to the supervisor to use
stone for a binder on the Harvey
road work and according to Engi-
neer Grubb's statement he found
that mud was substituted for th'
stone. Engineer Grubb also con
tended that the stone saved from
this operation was used by Super
visor Perkins on the Carr road
which was not on the list of roads
to be repaired.

fact that Council has to provide the

make, Council proposes TO closely
scrutinize every item before 1t is

Hinder the revised estimate the
Department OF Public Safety is ex-

there is quite a substantial difference
between the old and new figures. The
