JUDGE HAS NO POWER
 TO REMOVE COMMISSIONERS

In answer to a great deal of discus sion as to the removal of the commis- sioners, should it be deemed that such course was justified or advisable, Judge Finger states that he has no power under the law to take such step. Here is paragraph from the South western Reporter of recent date on a case appealed to the Supreme Court from Perry county:
 Appeal from county courts order removing commissioners of road i'm provement districts appointed by the county court under Alexander Road Law, $ 4. was properly taken under Kirby's Dig. ss 1487-1493, instead of under section 40 of the Road Act, since the removal of the commissioners by the court was an attempted exercise of power which was not conferred by the Road Act, and therefore not gov erned by the provisions of such sta tute relative to appeals from the coun- ty to the circuit court"

zH. H. Hindshaw of Atlanta, Tex, kyond doubt one of the best posted and geologists that has Ben in Polk county recently, left for |bme Sunday morning after spend ng several days Investigating var 5us manganese deposits in Polk coun-
 among them J. D. Bpdd's holdings & Hatton, and east of Hatfield, and Nose of the Texarmena Mining com eny near Dallas. Mir. Hindshaw, in Eking with a representative of The Bar, stated that he had no doubt as ! the great quantities of manganese &es to be found here. He said that ke Hatton property had been devel- eed to a point that justified the in- {ailation of mill, and that there ap- Irently were many other properties kat could be developed, some perhaps Ut would make even better show kg. The main obstacle to immediate tpfitable operation, he seemed to <6ak, was the rather heavy costs nec- >sary to get the ores into concen- Eated form and on the market in td!y marketable shape. It is prob <le that Mir. Hindshaw will return
