That since the expira tion of the above implied contract the county court has purchased from the company without furth er bids two more bridges. That there was some understanding that the bridges were to cost SIS per foot F. 0. B. anywhere on bridges purchased is to be placed on Powder Kiver where there is mnrl rnr nnv rmr in flip npi'rli. borhood petitioning for a road I hat the count v court has ex ceeded its constitutional indebt edness over $50,000; that the Weatherby road is a menace to the public; that the road super visors reports fail to give suffici ent information and many were found unsatisfactory, and con taining many irregularities. At tention was also called to the fact that the county court seldom called for the services of the county surveyor and that money could have been saved by so do ing. At the close of the report the grand jury said: "We mention some thingB in this report with the utmost reluctance and deplore the fact that we must in the performance of our duty express to the taxpayers the mat ters as we find them, and we are of the opinion that the Hon. J.B. Messick has transacted the above matters pertaining to the buying and erecting of bridges with de ... . ,,., , iberation and knowingly and with full knowledge of all the facts and circumstances, and that Mr. Welch and Mr. Hitter have been negligent and dilatory in some instances protecting the interests of the taxpayers. From our investigations we have arrived at the .conclusion that the best interests of the county could be best conserved by others than Mr. J. P. Ritter and Mr. J. B. Messick, and especially Mr. Mes sick, and while we d& not desire to ask them for their resignations, we do feel that other men in the county; could he secured who, would bolter serve ttio interests of the taxpayers. Respectfully submitted, ,1. H. NEDER, Foreman. MOSE FUCHS, Clerk. C. L. LAW, A. L. PEARSON, .101IN W. FLICK, FLAV1US PERKINS, GEO. W. ,1 EN KINS." The recall petitions uro now being circulated throughout Bak er county, and while it is only necessary to secure about 1700 names to call the election an ef fort will be made to socuro at least 2500 or more. This will Bhow Messick and Hitter tho feel-! ing of the people. If you feel that Messick and Hitter have spent the county's money in due regard to ecpnoijiy, that thev have conducted the of fice and its affairs efficiently; if you favor their methods of doinir "business, why then refuse to sign the recall petition. But if you are satisfied that the report of the grand jury is an honest re port and desire that the county's affairs be looked after efficiently and with due economy, just sign the petition.
