BUSINESS METHODS
OF COUNTY BOARD

Accuse Grant County Commits

in Examiners Report

Criticism Of methods used by the
board Of county commissioners Of
Grant county in ~transacting business
Is contained In q report of the state
examiner filed with the office of Gov
ernor George F. Shafer.
The board Of county commission
ers, the report states, violated the
statutes by not advertising for bids
for the purchase of metal c~ulverts,
bridges, bridge planks, and road ma
chinery for more than two years.
"On being asked why they had not
| advertised for bids for such purchases
they replied that, had they advertised
for such. that the cost Of such items
to the county would have been much
more than they paid" the report says
Several members of the board Of
county commissioners, according to
the report, had rendered bills, and
received pay for lodging, or lodging
and meals while attending the meet
ings Of such board, and while engaged
In other duties"
The examiner states that the law
and an opinion Of the attorney gen.
eral ruling against such expenditure
was read to the board but which, to
all appearances, failed to convince
them Of the error Of making such
charges"
1T appears that the states attor.
ney Of said county Is Of the opinion
the report continues, that the mem.
beers of such board can legally charge
for lodging and meals, or can go K

Question Probably
Will Be Presented
At March Election

Continued from page one)
Little was known, until Schumacher
appeared, Of progress made by the
petitioners. and opponents OF the
move had expressed the hope that
sufficient signatures possibly would
not be obtained. Highway officials
said that by referring the law. the
construction program OF the depart
ment will be hampered through loss
of revenue resulting from suspension
of the one-cent increase from July
first to the March primary. Should
voters approve the four-cent tax, the
increase becomes effective after the
election. In event voters reject the
increase the tax will remain at three
cents q gallon as at present.

"The people know that these

initiated this law, less than q year

polls. In nearly every instance those
who voted for tho initiated bill, for
