Commissioners S
File Answer To
Complaint of
Election Board
Answer Is Made To All Al
Legations Mode In Orig
inol Complaint

The Board of County Commits
sioners, through its attorney, w.
Dwight Slower, filed an answer
Tuesday to the bill of complaint of
the Board of Election Supervisors
concerning the purchase of voting
machines.
The Election Supervisors in their
bill of complaint had set out rea-
sons why the Board felt that the
County Commissioners had ex-
ceeded their authority in approx
ing the purchase OF the voting ma
chimes from the Shoup Voting Ma
chine corporation.
The Board Of Election Super
visors passed resolution by a ma
jority vote January 9 ordering the
purchase Of 36 manual type voting
machines from the Automatic Vot-
ing Machine corporation and asked
for approval Of the Commissioners.
This the Commissioners refused to
do
In the reply of the Commission
ers they admit that in special ses-
sion on january 23 they refused TO
approve the contract proposal for
the Automatic machines but did
approve the purchase of Sc manual
type voting machines from the
Shoup corporation for cash, for
S47 ,601.12, and that these facts were
communicated to the Board of
Supervisors in writing by regis
tered mail on January 30, prior to
the date the original suit was filed
against the Board of County Com
missioners
The reply denies that under pro-
visions Of the code the Board of
Supervisors has sole power to make
a contract for acquiring the voting
machines since the Board of Super
visors must first obtain approval
of the Board of County Commits
sioners and then acting jointly with
the board, before any purchase can
be made The Commissioners de-
! clare they had not attempted to
purchase or enter into any agree
ment with any concern for pur-
chase of voting machines.
The Commissioners also deny
that any bona fidc contention cx-
lists between the boards since the
complainants admit in their bill of
complaint that any purchase of
voting machines must be made
with the approval of the Board of
County Commissioners and be pur-
chased upon such terms as agreed
to by the Board of County Com
missioners, and that the Commits
sioners have disapproycd the pur-
chase of 3G manual type voting ma
chimes from the Automatic compa-
ny, but have approved purchase of
Sc manual type voting machines
from the Shoup company.
| The answer further states that
William L. Gibson and Francis w.
Sanders, allegedly constituting a
majority of the Election Board on
August 2 submitted to the Commits
sioners for approval contract for
purchase of 35 manual type ma
chimes from the Automatic compa-
ny for S143O per machine but that
