AS to the Minutes of the
Board: Why is there a constant
interference in the drafting of
the Minutes and recording of the
same in the Minute Book? Why
did B. M. Duncan, General Man.
ager, object to any inclusion in
the Minutes of claim by S. j.
Groves Construction Company in
the amount of $50, 675.05, when
the same was presented to the
Board by an official of that COM
pany and tented claim for
period of an hour incidentally
this contract has been settled)?
Why have the people of Monroe
County not been appraised until
just recently of suit by one of
the contractors against the Dis
trict charging arbitrary and un-
reasonable sorders on the part of
the Chief Engineer? Why did
the Minutes of last meeting leave
out charges preferred by myself
against the manager, B. M. Dun
can, and placed in lieu thereof "a
discussion in personalities? Ask
the former secretary to the Board
whether she had any difficulty
with the Bridge Manager in re-
CARDS to the Minutes during the
term that she acted as Secretary
to the Board.

Why all this constant pressure
on the Board from the Chairman
and other agencies to "knuckle
down the Board" to the wishes
and control of the General Man
ager, B. M. Duncan? Why all

illness and in such a case, the de-
cision to go into a thorough in

lies in the hands of the people of
Monroe County.
I have worked at this con-
stantly. devoting practically all
my time and efforts, to such an
extent that / have neglected my
own office and health, so that /
am now leaving the matter in the

people of Monroe County. 1t is
your problem for the honest and
efficient administration of the

this constant press propaganda
about the discharge of Duncan
blocking the water supply and
the roads and the fate of Monroe
County and what have you?
Why the press reports just dur
ing the past two weeks of how
wonderful the Bridge District
was doing and the tolls being
sufficient to carry all expenses
and being in accord with all esti-.
mates and what not? Why the
constant impression being created
in Washington and elsewhere
that the people of Monroe County
are incompetent and unfit to
handle their own business and
that there is only one person
within the confines of Monroe
County honest enough to handle
funds? Why emergencies al
ways are created when any ac-
ton of the Board is to be taken
contrary to the personal wishes
of the General Manager?
These questions are for the
people of Monroe County to ask
and answer and probably investi-
gate.
On my recent trip to Talla-
hassee during the past few days,
/ laid the above mentioned facts
along with other documentary
proof to the Governor of the
