COUNTIES ARE
DEEP IN DEBT
TO ROAD FUND
Arrears Laid to Alleged
Mismanagement of
Motor Section.
LAKE STARING EXAMPLE
Many Willing to Pay But
Unable Because of
Record Lack.
LAKE STARING EXAMPLE
BY DANIEL NJ. KIDNEY

Counties throughout the state,
particularly Lake county, are thou
sands of dollars and many years
in arrears in debt payments to the
state highway department, it was
revealed today.
This disclosure is one of a series
showing lack of efficiency in the
highway department. brought to
light by examiners of the state
board of accounts.
The spotlight was turned on the
subject by The indianapolis Times
last August when it was shown that
thousands of dollars of the tax
payers money was lost through the
alleged mismanagement of the
motor transport division of the de-
partment.
Director John j. Brown and the
commissioners did nothing about it
and investigation was launched by
state board of accounts field ex-
aminerS.
$4,000 Recovered
Through reports of Ross Teck-
myer and w. P. Cosgrove, field ex-
aminers in charge of the investi-
cation, $83,606.75 already has been
recovered by the commission from
seven counties. These were debts
due several years, the field eXamin-
erS report to Lawrence F. Orr, state
examiner, sets out.
According to Teckmyer, many
times this sum still is due but COM
mission books and contracts are in
such shape that it is difficult to
determine the exact amount.
He cited Lake county as an ex-
ample Of one of the largest debtors
where the amount almost is i'm
possible to learn because of lack Of
proper records.
This is another reason why the
commission should act favorably on
the board of accounts recommen-
dation to establish an accounting
department, he said.
Inventory Taken
For the first time since 1927 an
inventory OF all physical properties
is being taken in the motor trans
port division. This is expected to
be completed within the next few
days, Teckmyer declared.
Debt recoveries made from coun-
ties date back to $40, ,766.77 due from
Morgan county since 1927. Others,
all due in 1928, were:
johnson county $5,17040: Kosci-
usko, $12,03950; Marshall, $4,000;
Morgan, $3,312.70; Morgan, So, ,284 95;
Porter $25,262.63; and Starke,
$4,76980.
Orr asserted that all of these COL.
lections should have been made
under the regime of former Director
John D. Williams. Orr stated that
under the Brown dictatorship, his
department is receiving the utmost
cooperation in getting the counties
to pay up.
In many instances, counties are
willing to pay but have been unable
to find out the amount due because
of the lack of an adequate account
ing system, Teckmyer declared.

NEW YORK, Nov. 8.-The $4,000
damages awarded to Marcia Estar-
dus in her suit against Harry K.

At the same time anti-Coffin lead
ers lost considerable ground with
an announcement by County Clerk
George o. Hutsell that he would de-
cline the craftsmanship if it were Of
fered him. Hutsell has been re-
garded as one of the strongest anti
Coffin leaders and was promised the
support Of large following if he
accepted she nomination.
Issues Statement
In a statement today Hutsell said:
II wish it to De distinctly under
stood that I am not candidate for
the place of district or county chair
man but I am interested in seeing
men elected to both places who have
not been identified prominently with
any of the so-called factions with
in the Republican party.
'Tf the Republican party is to
win in this county next year it is
absolutely necessary that a man in
whom all the elements of the party
have confidence, be selected. This
is my thought in the matter, and I
do not wish to be placed in the po-
sition of leading a faction to fight
any one within the party, but ex-
pect to take an active part in try
ing to bring about a solution of
party problems. know this is the
feeling of a large number of pre-
cinct committeeman and women and
several of the present ward chair
men in the matter"
Hutsell will be affiliated with the
new Marion Club, policy of which
will be to oust Omer Hawkins,
county chairman and right-hand
man Of Coffin, who has refused to
resign his post in the face of party
sentiment against him. Leaders of
the club will meet tonight to discuss
the Craftsmanship.
Many Others Considered
Most promising of the anti-Coff1n
candidates for Coffins chair are
Hurst Sargent and Remster Bing-
ham, attorneys, and Earl Conder,
former president of the Church
Federation of Indianapolis. Other
names that have been mentioned
include Bert Morgan. former pro-
hibition administrator; Albert E.
Uhl, Harvey Graybill, County Audi
tor Harry Dunn and Harry Hen
erickson, county Republican chair
man from 1918 to 1920.
The matter of selecting the dis
trict chairman probably will be de-
cided next week when 355 commit
teemen and 355 women from the
county will meet to voice their selec-
ton. Several private indignation
meetings have been held by the
committee workers and it is ru-
moner many of them are in revolt
against choosing a successor who
will adhere to Coffin policies.
Snider refused to comment today
on his attitude in accepting Cofln's
support in running for the chair
declaring he chad nothing
to say at this time"
Coffin has been i'll at his home
since before the city election and
the meeting scheduled for Saturday
to elect the county chairman has
been held over pending his recov-
cry, it was said.
