District Attorney Frank Symmonds
appeared before the county board this
morning in an endeavor to secure some
action on the Russell Detective agency
bill. Up to noon the board took no ac-
tion on the bill, although warm dis
cussion ensued between the prosecutor
and the board, and the point at issue
was somewhat lost sight Of as the dis
trict attorney took a whack at the
board, fguratively speaking, for going
over his head in sending a committee
to the encouragement to ask for the
latter's opinion on the bill.
County Board Comes Back.
"This county board has no right to
ask for an opinion from the attorney
general" declared Symmonds, "and
that's why you didn't get an opinion
from him. You went step too far!"
The county board would not take this
touch of the ferule meekly and Super
visor Dowse rose promptly in refuta-
ton of the charge.
eve did confer with the attorney
general" said Dowse, "and 1 don't think
it was outside of our province to do so.
The Encouragement told US that he
could not render a formal opinion be-
cause he didn't want to step on the
toes of the district attorney. But he
did talk to US informally. We didn't
go over the district attorneys head"
A committee from the county board
was sent to confer with the attorney
general at Madison sometime before
the holidays. It developed til the day
before the committee was have the

Ignored District Attorney.
1.-THE bill was not presented to me by
the board" declared Symmonds, "the
district attorney was entirely ignored
and the bill instead of being presented
to me, was presented to the attorney
general"
Mr.. Symmonds then read the section
of the Wisconsin statutes to the board
showing them that he was their legally
constituted advisor and that if they
wished for an opinion, they were to
come to him for it.
