had been paid on account of this work
at all. That the contractors for the
State had not placed their acquisitions
on Montgomery County through the
State Roads Commission as of that date
and consequently it is simply physical
impossibility that anybody at that time
could have spent any of the courthouse
money or any bond issues or emergency
money or that any money at all could
have gotten into what we call the East
and West Suburban Highway, or as the
Independent calls 1t, the zig gag high
way, at the time Of this charge.
II have described this thing as It is
and in rather complete detail because
with US locally 1t is an important SUBJ
ject. I did not realize it was an i'm
portant subject in the House of Dele
gates. but do not deny that 1t is a
proper subject for the House to con-
slider We, contend that the Mont.
gomery County courts are competent
We have a judge whose integrity has
never been. Questioned-one whom nc
one has. yet challenged. Nobody has
ever charged any tampering with otll
courts, grand juries or juries If the
law has, been. violated the Judge and
the grand jury are the. proper people
to deal with the situation.
We also have an election coming
In 1880, and the county commissioners
all come before the people of the
county as do the members of the
legislature and we believe that what
investigation Is in order, If any (Which
fact we deny). will be held by the
voters and electors of Montgomery
County. We contend that in addition
to being totally false the charges OF
the Montgomery Independent are en-
tlrely irresponsible as affecting Mont
gomery County affairs.
Il do not admit that these gentle
men brought this resolution in in any
kindly spirit as they have stated to
the House. I think this thing was
brought in In as dirty a spirit as any
two men can introduce an investiga-
ton. This is my feeling about this
action. The gentleman CMr. Ford
expressed great love for me when he
rose to speak to his resolution, and ]
am simply stating my reaction as to
his feeling for me. NaughterD
certainly hope that the rest of the
men here do not love me in the same
way. Uaughter)
Il am going to vote against this
resolution on the theory that the
charges upon which it is based are
false, that they came from an entirely
irresponsible source, that; the men
moving the resolution admit that they

Mr.. Gilbert then interposed: what

Mr.. Neuhauser replied that when it

several efforts to straighten out the
matter He attempted to sell the build

Later, he reached an agreement with
Eugene A. Smith of Eugene A. Smith

latter stipulated that all or most of
the tenants agree to vacate. An agree

and he set out to get needed signatures
from tenants.
Neuhauser said that in the rush he
failed to arrange for the return Of the
notes signed by tenants, but that when
they were requested, he agreed to dc
this.
