Williams was asked to re.-ign by the commission in a petition handed him last week, charging incompetency, neglect of duties ami other irregularities.

against the director.

months" according to Williams. “Because this is a departmental statement it reflects sorne accounts and bills receivable contained therein that gas collected as early as Sept. 1, before Jan. 1, 1929. $138,990 of the bills receivable contained in said account require legal' izing acts to make possible their collection, and I spent much time, energy and thought to obtain the enactment of such acts that will become effective upon the Governor’s proclamation in the near future.” “These accounts are not due until bond issues are legalized,” the director said. “There is no negligence. On the contrary there lias been the ut-
most diligence.”
Williams further explained that a $87,090 item, listed as receivable, is Federal aid, $19,000 of which was collected in F'eb. and $34,000 in March ami approximately $32,000 of which is involved in controversy." The director's statement asserted that a $173,674 account against Lake county was controversal. Highway Commis.-ioner, George Hcrshman, of Crown Point, “by special request,” has charge ..f the collection of that claim, Williams said. Williams also denied a charge by the commission that he failed to inform the latter of the widening of State Road 10 between Indianapolis and Terre Haute. "There has been no widening of said read to my know-
ledge,” he said.
The director further denied that be neglected to collect $1857 from the Denham Oil Company for drums returned by the Highway department. He explained that he had not faili *mI to prepare his annual report within the time given by law as charged by the commission. “The statute requires the commission, not the director, to present to the Governor its report on or before the first day of December of each year and tha( said report of the commission shall contain, among other things, a report of the director,” Williams said. "My report always has been in within the
limited time."
