I'AOE TWO 'F1 ffl LEVY ill BE S , Health Appropriation Goes In at $6000; Court to Have Supervision (Continued from tar 1) ? The motion was passed with only Zorn casting: a negative rote. Road Funds Favored To Give Employment The fact that about 90 per cent ot the appropriation asked for road funds went tor manual labor prompted the committee to recom mend their adoption. Several op ponents to the ounty road work . reed their reduction by half, but the committee felt that the ap- . propriaions were Just In Tlew of their offering employment for many in the county. Items passed wero 175,000 for market roads, X1TS.990 for county roads, bridge nd ferries, and 192.700 , tor the. roads and highways fund. The first two items were the same as last year, but the latter wasja reductLjn of $42,S00. la r-ew of the low salary scale maintained In Marion county whoa times were better, the com mittee decided against a cut. It deliberated over a 10 Per cent redaction for all county employes, jiut decided auch reductions would hamper the efficiency of the county and "prove to be nothing bat false economy." New state laws that went Into effect fast summer, and the fact that 19 3 X is election year, did their share to place items on the increase aide of the ledger. Ac cording to new laws. It is neces sary for the county to determine what families are capable of pay ing for the care of their kin. Those hearings will cost Marlon county $10,800 next year, an in crease In this item ot $10,560. An Kem approved f $10,620 for registration and election la an Increase of $.520 over last year. It is, however, a reduction of $258.92 under the total budgeted for thfar Item before the general elctions in 19XS. The budget for the care ot the poor was approv ed at ?5,000, an Increase ot sim.

Coshow stated that he thought the Insurance business was good business because he had once bought stock at $2$ and sold It for $80 and during the last year of his ownership had drawn three five per cent dividends upon it. Personal Report Made By Cosho- The Judge pleaded with stock holders to cooperate, to forget former disputes, to work united do everything in their power to make Empire s affair a success, Coshow had hardly finished his formal report as president of the company when he read another extended report as an individual in which he scored the "vlndict- iveness of newspaper accounts about Empire's affair," ylJSTt lermea vrero aniucm misrep resentations which have either impaired or destroyed stockhold ers' faith In our company."

He said h thought it showed poor Judgment on the part of the offi cer to rote salary contracts ag gregating $600,009 to $790,099 over a ten-year period when only $5500 was la the treasury. Phelps pleaded with stockhold ers" to get together" but he said ho thought tho leadership ot the company must come from new di rectors. He criticised the leaders vigorously for crediting them selves for $3000 each for soil ing themselves their own stock. He declared that each officer should have been under moral obligation to see that every stock holder received as much from the company In the way ot bonuses or commissions as the officers re ceived. "Unless you stockholders now pull together. Empire Is not going to be saved, Phelps said in conclusion. Wants Outside To Ron Company Jay H. Stockman, general counsel for the corporation, told the stockholder audience he had put in no money but had contrib uted heavily of his time working often night and day to do the le gal work. "I want to help the company go forward." Stockman said. "We have received much publicity which should . not have gone out; I consider the proper place for the company's affairs to be discussed is In the stock holders' meeting." S t o c k m an urged shareholders to work out a plan with an outsider coming in to run tho company. "I regard the stockholders' Interest as my interest and I will make a future sacrifice for th welfare of the company," Stockman declared. Tho atockholders in attendance at the meeting came from all sec tions of the state.
