November IL, 1921.
Re Project No. I'LL Audrain County
Mr.. R. NJ. White,
The Mexico Ledger,
Mexico, Missouri.
Dear Sir:-
Receipt is acknowledged of your let
ter of November 18th enclosing a clip
ping from the Ledger of November 10,
1921 relative to the inspection by the
County Court of the construction Of
the above project, which is the gravel
road South of Mexico.
For your information kindly be adj
vised that the following are certain
facts in connection with this road
work:
/. The grading, culvert and bridge
work was done on this project some
time ago by the Audrain County Court
on a force account basis. The State
paid n half of the actual cost.
2. When the grading and draining
on the project was completed a con-
tract for the g~ravelling was let by the
County Court to C. P. O'Reilly 6 Com
pany under a promise by the State to
reimburse the County for one half of
the cost. The contractor was required,
by the terms of the specifications, to
do only such grading work as was
necessary in orderto properly place his
and bring up the shoulders
without doing grading work on
bitches and back slopes. One inspec-
tor was maintained on thework, rep
resenting both the interests of the
and State. The Court was at
liberty to have the work inspected in
any way it chose, but for the sake of
economy we presume that it was con-
tented with the Inspector placed on
project by the State, and paid for
by the County and State together.
8. The contractor claims to have
completed his work on the project,
and the same has been inspected by
the State and found to be satisfactory
for it's approval. Our Division En-
gineer at Macon was advised under
date of November Bird to notify the
Court that this work done was salts
factory to the Department and that
the States share in the final total cost
would be reimbursed to the County
when the County has accepted the
work and made it's own final payment
to the contractor.
A. The Court is at liberty to accept
or reject the work, according to it's
judgment.
5. An Investigation by the State
of the completed project was made
very carefully by the Assistant to the
Chief Engineer, the Construction En-
gineer and the Division Engineer, who
issMr. Hanick of Macon, Missouri.
This investigation disclosed the fact
that gravel on the project which did
not, pass the specifications was of a
percentage considered negligible. It
also disclosed the fact that the e
quired quantity of gravel had been
placed on the road by the contractor,
and that the grading required Of him
by the specifications had been carried
out.
If the Court considers that the pro-
ject has not been completed in ac-
cordance with the specifications and
refuses to accept the work it may
compel the contractor, subject of
course to such court actions as the
contractor may be successful in, to do
such additional work as it may re-
quire.

Believe Murder Of Premier Result
 Of Conspiracy

Tokio. Nov. 7.-CBy The A.. P.)- Eigoro Hasdmoto, assistant station master at the Otsuka. railway station where Premier Takashi Hara wa, as- sassineted Friday night, has been ar rested charged with compHcity in the crime. About 20 other employees at the station were released after being questioned.
 Rycht Nakoka, the assassin, insists the police say, that he had no ac- complices. The police believe, how ever. that the statesman's death was brough tabout through a conspiracy This belief is strengthened by the fact that a well dressed, unidentified man was seen hurrying from the station at the moment Nakoka thrust his sword into the premiers breast. The authorities are of the opinion that the youths statement that he alone conceived the crime was made in an effort to shield his co-conspirators

Stratford people are almost as in- terested in the city election in Bridge port as they are in the Stratford Town elections. This due to the fact that so many residents of the town are in business, or are employed, in Bridge port, and are therefore interested in matters like taxes, subsequent rates of rental, etc. An almost universal leaning towards the Democratic can dtdate Is noted in this group, which has no vote in Bridgeport.
