words of Mr.. Baird in saying hal
the board had waited two hours and
ii would make no difference IL II
waited twenty minutes longer. Mr..
Edwards said he had been at the
commissioners meeting during the
forenoon and was at every meeting
where it vas possible, something, he
said, which Mr.. Walker as district
attorney could not say.
When this colloqny subsidized Mr..
Baird said he would apologize for
the words, inasmuch as Mr.. Edwards
was busy in the justice court. and
the apology was accepted.
A silence ensued and presently
Mr.. Baird moved that the bill be
allowed, which motion Mr.. Gubler
seconded and it carried.
Yesterday Mr.. Edwards said he
wished to call attention to the fact
that he did not say he would make
requests in writing.
II merely said l would get the
consent of the commissioners before
going away on county business"
said he. Nothing was said about a
request in writing
