Myron Osborn made the suggestion
the Board of Apportionment does not
allow enough money for the expenst-I
of the district. C. E. Diiiineback twir-
to sell motors and cable and use the
money obtained without authorization.
This was answered by Committsioner
Snimn. who said that the cdmmisalon-
ets had botfihtr the motors and sold
them again as a curtisey to a friend
and atthe same time the plant made
a profit of 10 per cent. on the deal.
lie also said the commissioners had
sold the cable because, they had no
possible use for it. and that they sold
it on the authority they always told
old wire and used them oney for
ed that the District would save money
the plant be under his management
and that be was to be controlled by no 1
higher authority As the meeting was
not called for the purpose of discuss-
ing such a proposition no action could
be taken on this matter.
Mr. Osborn moved that the commis-
sioners to allowed to borr' money to
the full extent of thrl“ .udget, which
is $11,515.25.
Mr. Davis oligccted to voting any
money to the commissioners and asked
that a special tax be inld. This he said
would open the eyes of the people and
they would know how much mono)
was being spent by this district.
Messrs. Sniffen and Walsh explain—
by borrowing the sum needed instead
of going to the Board of Appro
portlonment and ask for the layiug‘ot
a special tax. Mr. Sniffen said that he
(Mr. Davis) desired the people to be
come disgusted with the plant and
have them vote to sell it. “My friend
squeals bacause he was beaten at the
1.“. .it election"
Attorney Druis denied this
merit and said that Mr. Snii'fci was
working for effect. "i am not beaten

intend to express mt opinion on this
subject.
Mr. Cnvanagli wanted to know why
