receipt, she did not pay him any more, but received S7O a month for her work. Other affidavits supplied to the examiners set forth the following: J. J. Bowie®, a contractor, says that Killen paid SSOO for the construction of two concrete bridges, when the work should have been done by the county. The hoard of county commissioners, composed of Thomas Fitzgterald, W. J. Dawson and Bephis Perry, filed an affidavit stating that Killin had appeared before the board and asked that a petition received by it for the construction of the two bridged in question be refused, so that he could proceed as trustee to construct £he bridges. The request was granted. Mamie Coats, a teacher, said that she had

We’ve broken a lot of high-spirited fellows to our clothes; and we expect to keep on doing it. The man we especially like to “tackle” is the fellow who thinks we can’t persuade him that these fine clothes made for us by HART, SCHAFFNER & MARX . '• " :. y - • • . • . .• •• ••• ■v• > .■_.■/ . .J :.. .□ are better than any he gets made to measure; better for him; economy for him; better style, better quality. We are convincing a lot of just such skeptics right along. The clothes do it; all we have to do is to get them tried on. Men are sometimes a little stubborn about that, but once they get into the clothes, that settles it. They are the best, the most economical, the most stylish, and about the only clothes that you know are all wool. We like to get the other fellow, too, who thinks these clothes are too high priced; he’s easy, Jf he once gets started; the economy is too apparent.

agreed with Killin to teach for $4.5h a day, and that Killin subsequently attempted to make her take only SBS a month on the grounds that he had made an error in his computations. This, she. said, she refused to do. Dr. Lewis Learning filed an affidavit that after he had* agreed to treat the poor <of the township for $75 a year, Killin asfldSd him to sign a contract for SIOO a year for the work, stating that if the physician did not take the difference it could be turned over to the -trustee for the purpose of defraying certain expenses incurred in caring for the poor. William Mann filed an as-

fidavit that he received $lB for transporting the children of Perry Weathers to school, and that Weathers did not transport them at any time, although he was paid $42 for such /‘service.” George W. Voliva said m an affidavit that Ezra McGhan had offered him school wagon for S7O, and" that afterward Killin paid McGahn slls for the same vehicle. Nellie Etogle, a teacher, said in her affidavit that Killin attempted to make her transfer funds to the amount of $42.50 before he would sign her-contract, which she refused to do. Albert Zink, a patron of the township schools, said in an affidavit that the teacher of,his child-

ren, Miss Halcie B. Foster, furnish-, ed pencils, and tablets to them, but In at he paid for them at the usual retail price. Miss Foster filed an affidavit in which sthe said she had sold the supplies, and had used the proceeds in purchasing primary supplies not furnished by the trustee. Lemuel Shipman, county auditor, filed an affidavit stating that Killin had asked him what was the usual rebate allowed trustees by township supply dealers, saying that it was his understanding that such rebates were customary. , " Concerning the advisory boar'd-the examiners said: l “We are forced to the conclusion

that the affairs of Roliver township have been conducted in the most extravagant manner during the administration of Fred F. Killin, trustee, and jve are of the opinion , that the advisory board is being justly criticised for acquiescing in the extravagant use of public funds. And while their record is meager, in most cases it is apparent as to the intent. To illustrate: On the 27th day of March, 1909, we'note the following entry on said record: ‘We authorize the trustee to buy what supplies that is necessary,’ and May 14, 1909, an entry: ‘We also appropriate money to trustee Killin to pay for schodl books.’ h
