A recommendation for q sweep
ing rehabilitation of the county's
hospital for the insane at Julietta
may be included in the report.
Twenty eight grand juries over
period Of fourteen years have failed
to move county commissioners to
action on poor farm improvements.
Check on Charges
It is known the present jury has
spent several days visiting county
institutions and checking charges
OF miSmanagement.
Less than two weeks ago George
@. Handlon, so, inmate suffering
from a severe case of tuberculo-
sis, was turned over to police by
poor farm authorities after he had
complained to the grand jury that
John G. Carter, farm superinten-
dent, had beaten him.
Handlon was sentenced to serve
100 days on the state farm when
he was convicted in municipal
court Of drawing a deadly weapon
on Howard Wiseman, a poor farm
attendant.
Among charges believed investi-
gated by the grand jury is that
poor farm inmates are crowded
into uncomfortable quarters danger

Live in One Building
Almost a year ago, The Times
investigated and disclosed that the
county'S aged and infirn1, denied
everything but the barest necessi-
ties, are existing in a single build
ing which has been condemned sew
eral times as a fire trap.
Other disclosures have pleaded
for relief for at least a dozen in
mates in the mems quarters who
were sleeping on straw beds on the
floor and in narrow Railways.
County commissioners winked at
these investigations and conditions
remain the same today, it is said.
The Times recently has received
numerous complaints from citizens
about conditions at the poor farm,
demanding that something be done.

STATE SNUB
/ STIRS IRE OF
I LOCAL FIRM
$4,000 Statehouse Clean
ing Job Is in Charge of
Cincinnati Company.
BIDS WERE NOT ASKED
Figure Is Branded as Far
Too High by City
Leader.

The $4,000 statehouse outside
cleaning job, which never was ad-
vertised nor for which no competi-
tive figures were obtained, got
under way today with the Cincin-
natl Building Cleaning Company in
charge.
This company was awarded the
contract through the local agent
Edward DuX, without any figures
from other cleaners having beer
secured.
I'VE didn't have the money ia
advertise for bids" is the explana-
ton of failure to invite competi-
ton given by Frank Caylor, super
intendent of buildings and grounds
Criticism Is Drawn
Since the work is to be paid fol-
out Of Governor Harry G. Leslie's
emergency contingent fund it was
necessary to have it completed be-
fore balances in the fund reverted
TO the state on Oct. l, he also
added.
Failure to advertise and give To-
cal firms a chance at the work has
brought criticism from Guy Sallee
and operator of the Consolidated
Spray Painting System here.
Sallee says that he is ready even
today to do the cleaning for $35, 1000
and would post a. bond both for time
and thoroughness.
To have advertised and thus
given Sallee a chance to know the
contract was to be awarded would
have cost about Sc, and resulted
possibly, in the saving of 500 900, ii
was pointed out. But there are no
restrictions on the Governors fund
and he can do what he likes with it.
Not Signed Personally
However, in this instance, the
contract had to be signed by the
auditor and secretary of state as
members of the building and
grounds committee.
Neither Frank Mayr Jr., secretary
of state, nor Floyd E. Williamson
state auditor, both Democrats
signed it personally. William Cos
grove, deputy state auditor, signed
for Williamson, and Robert I.
Good, deputy secretary of state, for
Mayr.
Mayr today declared that he
didn't even favor having the build
ing cleaned on the outside and
thought that it will look less at
tractive when finished.
But the contract was approved
by the office of the attorney-general
and $57475 bond posted to com
piete the work in ninety days.
Called Good Democrat
Caylor said he wrote some letters
TO other companies he knew was in
the cleaning business, but they
didn't submit bids. This was ap-
proved as competition by the state
board of accounts, he asserted.
Dux, stone contractor, will
Fpoint' the stone as part of the
Cleaning contract included in the
$4,000, he declared.
Dux is said to be a good Demo-
crat." The building and grounds
committee is two to one Democratic,
but Caylor, a Republican, keeps his
post and has made it position of
considerable power.
