commissioners chairman geddes ot of the iho county board said last evening the protest 1 I certainly believe tile the taken by tile the county commissioners in refusing to 0 o ply pay tile warrants issued in payment for or furniture bought of 0 A 11 II andrews co and material mitter lal furnished in bbate mad to 0 be thoi the only ono one step t that an sworn to protect the interest of the taxpayer could tahe lake the Commissio neres rs as appears from a petition that win be presented at Moli mondays days session of tho the court will be asked to LO refrain from car cairy inc irato inta ex cx caution t tha action mentioned above there has been a gigantic fraud and wholesale robbery committed upon the tax the truth or which no person lit in this ihla county double douan in payment of that fraud war hartanto tanto were given that Is the notes of 0 the alie tax players redeemable tit in about three tareo beira during tills this time it has been demonstrated beyond any doubt that of these warrants or taxpayers notes were given under a 3 pretense of 0 for furniture but in tact fact nothing absolutely nothing not us was received by the people tor for that Is it riot not our duty to refuse to pay those for which nothing was received the plea pica Is made that innocent per pons ons hold these warrants did not those persons persona know when they bought these warrants wan onta for what they were paid was it riot not a matter of common report on oil the street that the fret warrant issued to A H andrews co wa wan rot for boodle at the time it wasl waa issued did not the parties who bought these warrants know that was being beine issued in warrants warrant for furniture for tire the county portion of 0 the hie building and wit did they riot not know as business busl neis men that the iho county could not use that amount of furniture and that there must be fraud lit in the deal As to using tile the property without bic to for it I 1 personally am ready to acte ic to for the payi payment of even more moio than ii t fair price for the furniture and road real work if a compromise Is in made I 1 believe all the stand bland ready to do that aguon all those holding these warrants anu knew w lit in january Janu aty thelt the county would refuse to pay those thaw warrants why did they not protect them selves atvea agan t tho the bartles the warrants issued to during ahli time tho the claim that the th courts will order tho the warrants paid by the counte to nw me a little premature and in which I 1 believe the petitioner havo have no belief As aa to 10 the credit of the county bing impaired I 1 believe it aul wul be strength cred I 1 if f the rot the ilva idea that any issue of uita whether legal or otherwise will always be approved and fraud to no go unchecked aked wh what a it confidence will the public ave in any warrants war that the county would I 1 leu po f tear ear liis they might all ajl be tainted with f raud fraud arid ami liable at airy time to be repudiated ted As A to the th county seeking re fr from 0 rn the companies a and selectmen per the fraud jt can only do that lit in a 6 criminal way tire individuals now holding the th warrants have brave recourse iti in civil action aged flat sold said cont com panics U ond aid individuals aa ter t its effect on the bono i it if their depends on the counts rauw of fraud they would better not I 1 detrimental san I 1 dont la lieve tt it will wil i have any eft ef t but if 1 it t him hats uny tiny effect at nil all it will he be beneficial it will to anve that aliat the people
