SHELBY COUNTY OFFICIALS FACE ACCUSING SUIT Wrongful Payment Case Called Political Maneuver to Aid Republicans. Pa Times Special SHELBYVTLLE, Ind., Nov. 1 Branded by democrats as a political move, J. Wood Barlow has filed suit in Shelby circuit court alleging misfeaseance, non feasance and malfeasance in office on the part of the Shelby county commissioners, W. P. Meltzer. Orla Cuskaden and Willis G. Bush. The complaint, which is not of criminal nature, has fourteen specifications. They include charges the commisisoners made various illegal payments, recipients including Ralph Cochran, county surveyor. It is alleged that Cochran is not a licensed engineer and has received payments for services which a state law requires should be performed by an engineer of that standing. It is charged by Democrats that Barton is venting a personal grudge as well as furthering political aims of Republicans, because Cochran refused to recommend use of the Luten patent for bridges and the county ceased buying gravel from BarloM r at 50 cents a cubic yard, because it could buy at 16 "cents. Democrats assert the suit was filed so short a time before the election that the commissioners w’ill not have an opportunity to reply before the voters go to the polls Tuesday and that a brother-in-law of the plaintiff is a candidate for commissioner. Declaring the fact that Shelby county’s tax rate is the lowest among the ninety-two counties of Indiana, the Democrats assert the situation is proof that no money is being wasted cr pak. by the commissioners.
