seems deducible from t th the e published opinions of State Chairman Gardner Gardne r au and aud County Ch Chairman irman Folland both having ing expressed expressed ex ex- r pressed themselves as without interest in the tho question question ques ques- tion since sinco they recognize and defer to the authority y lodged in the commis commissioners to act as the they see sec fit It is
