In the five-y@r period from 1914

ed in the United States, not counting

Thus it may be seen that in one

indicted before courts for rape in the
first degree than there we're lynch

case OF the Negroes there was only

FIGHT LOOMS
ON ISSUE OF
ROAD BONDS
County Commissioners Seek to
Pass Measure Over Tax
Board.

Rumbles and murmurs of what may de-
velop into a fractional fight at the court
house were heard today when 1t was an
nounced that the Marion board of county
commissioners had rescinded the $2l6,-
600 bond issue turned down by the State
board of tax commissioners. Immediately
following this announcement, 1t was
stated that a measure identical to that re-
scinded had been passed by the commits
sioners. Carlin H. Shank and Harry ID.
Tutewiler signed the bill. 1t was not
signed by Albert Huffman, the third
member Of the board, who disapproved
the step.
The issue about which the threatened
trouble may break Is for the purpose of
financing a FIVE mile road continuing from
Northwestern avenue. This road Is des-
ignated now as the Charles E. Hessong
free gravel road. The State board of tax
commissioners denied approval on the
project a few days ago on the ground the
specifications called for high priced ma
terials which would result in no better
road, they commended, than cheaper ma
terials. The specifications in the second
bill are the same as those in the first,
Mr. Shank and an attache Of the county
surveyors office said.

signed the bill, were "relying on the ma
ferial men to hght 1t out for them over
at the Statehouse this time"
Tutewiler and Shank let the contracts
for the construction of the road to the
Pfzemeyer Construction Company Of
Terre Taute In February.
Mr.. Shank challenged the right of the
State tax board to change specifications
OF a contract He said, "If were going
into a fight as to material, all right.
Leo X Fesler, county auditor, said ne
was against the measure because the
taxpayers of the county were overbur-
dened with taxation at the present time.
There are pending three issues tOtaling
$4,000. OF this sum, $250,0O0 is for
track elevation, S150,0O0 is for the con-
struction of buildings at Julietta and
$4,000 is for the building OF bridges.
Mr.. Fesler stated that he felt the other
bond issues should be held up till the
plaza bonds are paid for.
Another objection brought by some or
the courthouse wiseacres 10 the improve
ment Of the road was the understanding
which ia asserted has been reached with
the State highway commission that that
body is to take over the road within the
next year.
II is said that this Is the first time 1t
was ever attempted to put over" bill
by resembling 1t and then passing another
identical measure
Mr. shank said some time after the &C
ton of the quorum Of the commissioners
was announced that he felt as though
the State tax board had no authority to
pass on the materials used, and asserted
that the extra price which he has al
ready contracted TO pay would purchase
materials which would last longer and
give better service.
The action of the State tax board was
taken after ten taxpayers Of the com
munity through which it ia proposed the
road be constructed appeared before the
board and filed remOnstrance.
