BATTLE WIDENS |

OVER SPENDING

; County Councilmen Refuse to 0. K. $227,785 For Highway Dept.

County councilmen and county commissioners today squared off for a showdown fight for control of county*spehding. In a stinging blow last night, the councilmen refused to appropriate the $227,785 which the commissioners insist is necessary to keep the county highway department functioning after March 15. The sides are drawn thusly: Councilmen have been releasing state gasoline tax money to the county highway department quarterly amounts. The commissloners are opposed to this system of “dole.” They want the entire amount appropriated at one time.

File Mandamus

In an effort to force the council to accede to their wishes, the commissioners have filed a mandate action in superior court asking the court to order the council to hand

over the tax money. This will be|*

argued in room 4 on Feb. 26. Meanwhile, the councilmen dispute the commissioners’ opinion that the council has no say in the spending of the tax money. They are adamant in their request for a detailed list of proposed highway expenses. * “Purthermore,” Addison J. Parry, council president, declared today, “of the approximately $127,000 we appropriated = for highway use through the end of this month, the highway. department has about $100,000 still unspent, “We aren't going to appropriate more money until they- use what we've given them.”

Deny Jose Assistants

The council did permit the high-! way department $8860 of the $227, 785 . it sought. Other county de-| partments were not as severely struck. ...County Attorney Victor R. Jose was denied two assistants at $1800 per year and Sheriff Otto

Petit was not granted a $1000 emer- |

gency fund. Councilmen during last night's meeting announced they .would meet next Tuesday nighp despite the fact that County Auditor Ralph? F. Moore did not advertise the meeting. “It seems to me,” Mr. Parry declared, ‘that if the council unani-
