EDWARDS. President Your Account Appreciated Upon thu convening cession of the Hoard of County Commissioners this week, following tbe disclosure lu district court last weok In which W. A. Ingram, county engineer, was Involved, In which it will be remem bered that Joe Bowers, a road con tractor swore that be bad paid 20 per cent of his contract money to Ingram, McLaln, Whltaker, and a chief clerk of the state highway de partment,, the present boaid of county 'commissioners promptly nuked I ingrain to resign. Upon hla rtf'ju! to do so, a motion was made by Commissioner Frank H. , Drum, and seconded by Commis sioner A. Q. Daniel, that the office ! of county engineer be declared va- I The motion carried, all commis sioner voting "yes." I Thin action on the part of the board of county commissioners will moot with the hearty approval of the pepole of all parts of the coun ty. While the testimony of one man le hntdly sufficient to convict ' yet the evidence of Bowers and the statements of others, who Bay they are willing to testify to tbe truth of the allegations, was sufficient grounds for tbe board asking for tbe resignation at thin tlmo and, failing V receive the home, declar ing the office vacant. Since road work cannot proceed legally without the supervision of u county engineer and there being a great deal of Htich work necessary just at this time on account of the recent floods, an effoit will ho made to procure another engineer at the earliest possible moment, how ever, an engineer who Is capable of passing a rigid examination and who 1b acceptable and will be ap proved by the state highway de paitment, must bo employed and, like other workmen, such weu urn not always cosy to find.
