BAVIS IN OPPOSITION TO PRIVATE OILING Board Grants Privilege, Although President Argues High Price Will Result.

A Connersville street oiling contractor, Mr. Davis, was today granted authority by the board of public worta to oil local streets, not named in the recent public contract, upon tho posting of a $2,000 bond to work under the specifications drafted by the city engineer, and his agreement to begin such work not later than tomorrow morning. To this Davis agreed, saying that he was ready to begin work iu Richmond at once. President Bavis agreed to permitting Davis to do private contract work under protest. Mr. Bavis is of the opinion that all such work should be done by the public contractor because of the future affect such action would have on having all streets in the city oiled by public contract. Mr. Bavis called attention to the fact that Davis made no effort to secure permission for private work until he ascertained the price the public contractor was to receive. He asserts that Davis then shaved under this price. "Therefore," added Mr. Bavis, "it is reasonable to believe that next year property owners will be even more reluctant to file petitions for street oiling under public contract believing they can have the work done cheaper under private contract. If the policy was followed this year of permitting only the public contractor to do privaie contract work next year every citizen would promptly petition to have this work clone under public contract, and a much better rate could be secured, in consequence." The board today approved the bond of the public oil contractor, Mr. Curry, which is 2,0.mi. The pi.it of the Richard Sedgwick addition to tho city, on Richmond avenue, east of North West Seventh street, was approved.

EXAMINERS REPORT CLEAN COUNTY BOOKS Inspectors Find Matthews Entitled to 1909 Fees and Give Instructions.

Clean reports were returned by the Btate examiners of all Wayne county offices. George Matthews, county clerk, was found to be entitled to fees collected in 1909 which were withheld at that time pending an opinion regarding the constitutionality of the act permitting the collection of special fees. The amount of money the county clerk will receive from the county has not been figured. Auditor Bowman and Sheriff Bayer received clean reports without comment by the examiners. The county recorder was found to have been overpaid one cent on last year's salary and underpaid one cent on last

year's commission, thus equalizing the income. A number of instructions were sent with the county treasurer's report. Owing to a number of changes-recently in laws, the passage of the inheritance tax law, and various constructions taken of different laws, slight changes will be made in records. The examiners were O. Ray King and William N. Staplekemper. They used for the first time the new system of examining all books at one time and thus avoiding much unnecessary work. The examination was completed in about half the usual time.

MARTIN IMPROVES

Although suffering intense pain, Harry Martin, who suffered the loss of his right leg in falling beneath a moving train Tuesday afternoon, is reported today as slightly improved and has a fighting chance for recovery. Although Martin has been conscious since the accident he has taken his misfortune in a stoic manner and though his suffering has been intense, he has made no complaint and continued in a cheerful mood.

NO ELECTION PROBE Judge Fox Makes Significant Statement.

That there would be no grand Jury probe was the significance of a statement made by Judge Fox anent 8. Kdgar Nicholson's charge against the county officials on the option election. "It will be hot weather then and you can tell what will happen in hot weather said the Judge. I believe a grand Jury probe in this case is unnecessary and foolish," tbe Judge added. They are like a bunch of boys, and when it comes to bringing out evidence, it is all hearsay. Some one heard some one else tell another person that graft was suspected on the part of another. Aa far aa the election itself was concerned. I took no part in it as tar as to declare myself publicly, but I have my own pinions."
