SUPERVISORS DENT CHARGES

In a voluminous statement the
supervisors of Aatis township
make a sweeping denial of the
cbarge* of irregularities aud
misconduct in office tbat utts
made by a group of taxpayers.
Reply is made in the statement
to each ot tbe contested points
outlined by the citizens in .their
bill of complaint* filed with tbe
the county eoart.
Purchase of pip* Hated in the
booka of tbe township aa permanent bride repair* the officials aay
waa in accordance with th* atate
highway elassifi.-ation and tbey
quote figures to prove their contention tbat tba money was
actually spent in] buying and installing sluices in culverts and;
bridges.
Defending themselves against
the charge that tbroogh their
neglect, Mis. W. D. Caber fell on
tbe road near Beightown and
later recovered $177.50 damages
tor a broken ankle, the supervisors aay that- "Mrs. Caber
step* ed into a depression ia the
rond caused by aotoe .and trucks
such as ia common in any highway and that the accident waa
one tbat might happen to anyone
walking on a dirt road." The
officials vigorously deny any neglect iu tbe upkeep ot tbe road.
The Tipton sidewalk construe
tion is termed "an set ot mere**
since school children in crossing
the st retch at .the upper ead of
Tipton oftea got  wet  ffiet aod
contract colda." They insist ihat
tbe walk was only a narrow cinder
path floating 914, c natructed on
publio properly and was not built
aloi g any property that the expense could bave beeu surcharged
to its owner as charged in the
complaint.
The books of the township
were approved by two ot the
auditor', while tb* third, J. B.
Wilaon, allied himself witb the
complaimants tbe supervisors
assert.
Ii countercharge they accuse
Wilson, wbo is secretary of th*
auditors, with not filiog hla report aa required by law and
at'empting an effort to get square
witb the supervisor* who stopped
bim in bis mad escapade on tbe
Tip'on roa-i in which $1,120 ot
the public money was ruthlessly
squandered.
