The report covers about 160 pages and if It only “scratched the surface”, as has bgbn gaid, it is time for a more • thorough investigation. We do not know how much more Mr . Brown . could have found, Certainly he found enough to warrant a change in man­ agement of the Industrial part of the school, Tpe state has nothing tc do with the University proper but nevertheless it Is proven that the Uni-, versity is profiting from what the In­ dustrial board* is doing or permitting to be done a t the expense of the state Mr. Browm-had no small task in his -investigation. He seemed to have the slant on almost every line of investig tion he1undertook. His examination ,o£ employees and their testimony, without question, warranted option ot the part of the state in „protecting the wanton waste indulged in by the present management. ^ In the investigation of coal it wa- discovered, that .the.state let the Uni' ■ versity have a. large quantity of coa tha t had bean paid for by the state '“Even President Gilbert H."Jones ii. his examination admitted that ' tht University, of which he is “president, ■“borrowed” coal, J. D. Newsome, an employee says it was 74 or 70 tone and that the coal was turned cjver on order of. Supt Bundy*of the Indus- trial school. Newsome is one of the employees discharged after testifying before the examiner. I t was shown by Then, Mason, an engineer; that state coal has beer, *hauled to Supt. Bundy's residence. AS Supt- Bundy’s administration was under investigation, Mr. Brown ^ook j ? p the^queirrion, ofl purchasing . two pianos from ,a Cincinnati firm "-One’was for $650 and the other was for $700, Credit on an did piano trad­ ed in was for $150, making the twe instruments .cost the . iftate $1,200, The eviefenfee showed that the babj grand costing $700 was in .Bundy’s home and the other on state property The report shows that 15 head of hogs were killed from the state farm and that 1357 .pounds of this meal Was taken to Dayton to be pured and Smoked. McKinley, Holmes testified . he took the meat to Dayton on “the order of Supt. Bundy. He also says he brought it bafck and put it. in the basement at Bundy's home. In Bundy’s examination lie gives a list of weights "that covered amount turned oVcr to Arnett and Mitchell ‘halls and to the Domestic Science de­ partment. He says that 200 pounds of the meat spoiled. His report shows 32 pounds on hand. We notice Mr. Brown in his report says 1357 pounds of the meat are to be accounted for. The state had provided for a sewer­ age disposal plant. The examiner in his report shows that the plant is on the University property mid not prop­ erty belonging to the state. He asks the Attorney General for a ruling on this in as much as the University is Under mortgage to the Home Building and Loan Association for $125,0O0.Mr< Brown Wants to know of the Attorney General if the interest of the state is ih jeopardy by putting the disposal plant on- University ground that is now under mortgage. Serious charges are made against Bufldy by Joseph Serra, head of the Columbus Plumbing Co. The same is made by Bud Sweeney in the form of ail affidavit against Bundy* Sweeney was foreman for the Columbus com­ pany, The company was given a job of plumbing that was not to cost more than $3,000. The bill for the job w&S $2554.35. The affidavit says but $1031.00 was paid, The company took the matter up with an attorney after additional payments could not be secured. The company was inform­ ed suit against the state was impos­ sible, Tbs company* claimed $629.85 was still due; Voucher.No, 1244 in the State Auditor's office shows this amount was paid. The company says it did not get the money. • The affidavit says that a labor bill on the job was paid by Ban­ dy and that Guy Ginn, who was paid by Setra, also drew a salary from the state daring the same period as An important social announcement a laborer* Other charges were made -was made last Saturday afternoon a t in the affidavit attached to the exam- j a bridge party given by Miss LUcile tear's report, IRitnnOur a t her home on South Main There ware numerous items under | street when she entertained fourteen question by Mr. Shawn, One was for jlady friends at bridge.

They were «n- route to Detroit and visited Imre for three day*, Editor "The Herald”, . Cedarville, Ohio. ” Dear Sir: A clipping taken from your paper of a recent date, In which it-in stated that Representative R. D. Williamson of .Greene, county has made the state­ ment that ten members of the State Department at Wilberforce were dis­ charged a t the spring meeting of the1 trustee board because they aided in the investigation into financial affairs of the, university conducted last Dec ember1by State .Examiner E. Frank Brown. As a member of the Board of trustees of the State Department at Wilberforce^ I whs present at the meeting In question and wish to say that "that statement is untrue,” The eight (not ten)- employees were dis­ missed for goodand sufficient reasons and not because they aided' in therin- vestigatlon trite t.he financial affairs of the university (State Department), There has been no investigation into the financial affairs of the university. The writer was not present a t the subsequent board, meeting which re­ instated two of the eight, employees dismissed. Equally1 untrUe .is the statement, that "the trustees carried' out threktse to-Tire’ ail employee* who refused to ‘know nothing* when ques­ tioned by the state examiner.” I judge that the .proceeding quoted, part of the sentence is the language of Rcpre scritative Williamson. If so, he ia wrong, again. There is absolutely ho truth in any such statement from him, anyone or anything else. Thus Is “politics" being dragged into thg management of the school. * If State Examiner E. Frank B. Brown,, “uncovered serious irregular­ ities against certain university Ioffi­ cials,, including .Superintendent R. C. .Bundy, the board of trustees of the State Department a t Wilberforce are not aware of the fact. I do not be­ lieve that this is true, either,-Neither do I believe that the state examiner ever said he only “scratched the sur­ face” in his report. It occurs to me that Representative Williamson, if quoted correctly in your article just received, is appar­ ently determined to harm the State; Department a t Wilberforce by rush­ ing into the newspapers with state-* ment-s that are not founded in fact but evidently the result of tales car­ ried to him by disgruntled persons, former employee* and others. This shows'poor judgment, to say the least, and is not the first time that that gentleman has done this very thing, either. The board of trustees have twice refused to elect Cart Jenkins to the position in the State Department as Bishop J. II. Jones, a member of the board, recommended, That is why he is now trying with the assistance of Representative S. D. Williamson of Greene county to force Jenkins' Se­ lection by the board. He will not suc­ ceed. Much more tild be written in re­ lation to the foregoing but possibly this is sufficient, at least at this time.

Seventy-five, per cent .;£ the cattle owners have signed up n each township and under the taw* .his compels all other owners- whether hey have signed or not to submit to testing. The testing ia being done by Dr. J. O. Wickham ofDelaware under jtate and federal supervision. Farmers in the western side of the county call the test a fraud and many dairy cows have been, slaughtered .hat proved to be healthy when the .neat was drtased. Locally no concerted action has been taken against the test though we bear a great deal of complaint among ;he farmers. Many of those who have signed up say they regret the action. Those who did riot have more or less -jf a feeling against those who did. Others say they signed up because .he fow .was loaded to get every body and the time to -have put up the big fight was in the legislature. Few of thefarmers knew such a taw yvas pas- vecj until it was in effect,. .According to the test thus far in Cedarville township we are informed iihat-efflly three “re-actors” have been found. This is a smalt per cent and X good record we are told. . . The public has a side in the contro­ versy and not many are siding with those that urge the tuberculin test. The fact-that a cow may he condem- Jd *3 "tubercular" and killed and the meat put on the market for human consumption is more than most peo­ ple care to believe. Many farmers are opposed to this plan for more than one reason.1The-main objection from the cattle feeder's viewpoint is "that this meat is put on the retail market in competition with good meat and is sold a t the same price, while the pack­ er gets it at a reduced price. ' ifi authority' theta te no harm in eating this condemned meat. That tuberculosis can only be transmitted to the human through the milk. , • . ■ , . . ; ■ ..... . .. ,, ■* J- The general public1has more of- an interest in the testing than probably dairymen. How to convince the pub­ lic that the meat is good,will be a big­ ger- problem than.satisfying the for­ mer that testing is necessary. Dairymen say that with losses as a result of testing and no way to immune a herd against ^tuberculosis means a great loss each year to the dairy1 farmer that must be met in the increase in the price of milk, DEATH OF WELL KNOWN WOMAN Mr*.

Someone overturned ‘ one "of the targe- granite ballB on the entrance post to North Cemetery' sometime Monday nighti As the ball weighs several hundred pounds it will he a task to get it back in place. Such acts about a cemetery are not pranks but evidently done for more than a a joke It is nothing more than vandalism and the guilty parties if taken -into court -could be dealt with severely. The officers of the association are much put out about the act and should the guilty parties be found th e / may get to stand the cost of replacingQthe ball or facing a court charge. The referendum, petition*.*,*® the proposed salaried Justice of peace bill have been in circulation hare the past week. The public evidently does not look with favor on such a law if sentiment is any-indication. There was no opposition encountered, The Ohio Automobile Clubs are backing the referendum andwill have enough signatures to petitions to Btop the op­ eration of the law on August 10th, The voters will have a chance to express thejr views at the election in November, when you will vote 1,T£e»M: or "No” ,°n a bill tojegalita grafting justice of peace courts .with justice* on salaries greater than the income of most of our citizefis in the county, It is" estimated that the law if al­ lowed to stand would cost Montgom- ’ ery county $156,000,-yearly. On the saipe basis Greene county jwould be. in for $50,000 to $76,000 and probably more each year.
