Kentucky Favorite
To the Editor:
(Note: An article appearing on
the front page of your valued paper
of April the 24th headed "Fehl la
Called In Attacka Upon County Of
ficiate, " signed by Victor Bursell.
which la a communication, Is en
titled to be answered. Not that I
do not have ample meana at my
command to answer such articles,
but I feel that In Justice to your
readers that aucn prominent com
munications should be answered In
like manner.)
There la going about Jackson
county a certain county official that
has on two occasions attempted to
break up public meetings. This
county official la none other than
your news writer, Mr. Victor Bursell,
whose article directed towards me
and in which reference la made to
the expenditures of the O. and C.
land grant money are obviously one
of the evasion of the facta.
See county warrants paid as fol
lows: On August 20. A.D.. 1928, Mr,
Bursell ordered the payment of
premium on the retirement of 7000
county bonds, which bonds were
numbered 144. 201. 202, 203. 204. 205
and 206 In the amount of 1579.43,
which premium was paid to the
First National bank.
On December 14, A.D.. 1927. Mr.
Bursell ordered paid to the Jack
son County bank a premium of
$4862.93 for the retirement of Jack
son county bonds numbered 218 to
225 and 101 to 115.
On September 30. A.D.. 1927. Mr.
Bursell ordered paid to the First
National bank a premium of 5793.97
for the retirement of Jacksqn county
bonds numbered 151 to 168 and 158
to 185.
On September 28. A.D.. 1927. Mr.
Bursell ordered paid to the Jack
son County bank a premium of
81374.75 for the retirement of Jack
son county bonds numbered 128
to 135.
There are hundreds of such, and
similar transactions upon the county
records YOUR RECORD. MR. BUR
SELL I hope the people who read
your article will go to the records
they will speak for you In no un
mistakable terms.
Mr. Bursell, you state: "That
there still remains In the O. and
C. land grant fund after all deduc
tions are made for the cost of the
new court house the um of 8309
080.50." -
I called at the county treaaurera
office yesterday and procured a
statement as to balances and I find
that there Is no balances on hand
other than has already neon svi.

standing bonds save and except an
Item of 815.000 invested In Liberty
Bonds which are held In the First
National bank which bonds were
purchased before you became a
county commissioner and which waa
no investment of O. and C. funds
and 856,000 worth of Jackson county
road and highway bonds that have
been purchased for retirement, but
which have so far not been retired
a part of which purchase money
came from the O. and C. fund.
All other funds supposed to be
held by the county treasurer which
funds are within the banks of the
county has been set aalde aa egalnat
expenditures already made and any
Inference to the contrary Is very
misleading to say the least.
Mr. Bursell, the much talked of
West Side Highway was presented
to the county court by the people
of Jackson county and the only rea
son that a remonstrance waa filed
a, against the original eUBgesMd
location of the proposed road was
the fact that you unt
mlssloner. desired that an entirely
different route be chosen, a route
that would place this highway adja

dence and thePcoet of the road was
never an Item for consideration
such cost was never even estimated.

DON'T BLAME STOCKINGS for those costly runs
actually you may be at fault.
When your stockings are new they are elastic. Made
to give under strain. Stretch and spring right back again.
But if you rub the delicate fibres with cake soap so
they lose their precious elasticity, they become lifeless,
brittle. They break under strain. Then you get those runs!
Why take chances? Lux offers you the sure way to
preserve the elasticity that makes stockings WEAR.
