OUR TAXES---AND WHY

LEGAL Bridge Theory
That Material Was Delivered" County Engineer KID
But Now Admits He Did So Without Knowing of
1 Own knowledge Whether Was De
ivered or Not
4th, county commissioners allowed
bill Of the Linton Bridge
pleted BY Nov t was not SO competed nor was
that time Now the question was the n d esa
the contract provided should be before
We have been trying to determine Of these
what have found At b the
county engineer had placed his written
found that he personally didn't know material
Instead he stated that he Kd the bill result the
He first stated that he had phoed the
had verified the delivery endorsing
been Later we asked him who he
phoned ct Hague and he stated that phone
information had KID the bill
called up the banker question and informed
what Information he
didn't want to get mixed articles We
Schal informed bridge
in Hague but any being on
hand -
If anything Hague bridge has ever been
then have unable to find
know where the material under whose charge
strength of only has been delivered then
material was aaelvered M
t absolutely certain that the bridge did
only the steel for the has be an a
less in cost than half the already paid
We believe it quite important that these
board guided xpenng large amounts of county funds by
engineers endorsement then isn't when
without definitely knowing doing? Recently the

take considerable for granted making know
But We do know that the county as

mited that he doesn't know was or not
M ns @ ay engineer IS very arrogant in his
bridge work be placed his firmly that he is

purchasing agent for Emmons came in
handy for him until the bridge business spring
Mr. Fogle is receiving most excellent
board He has been that he
pocket vet the bridge has not been 1s
the material itself has mighty hard to locate ex

acting as the counys purchasing agent securing feed
are told that Mr. Fogle was appointed ot for h
county because Fogle will
get results alright but why much county waited
Feb h until March showing Mr. Fog
