F. Coulter of Fullerton declared in an interview with a Plain Dealer representative today on the results of the meeting of the Associated C. of C. of Orange-co held at Fullerton last night. "It looks to me that reports do not get us anywhere," Mayor Coulter said. "I think most of the taxpayers would prefer to see the board of supervisors to whom the engineer is directly responsible exercise their pretogatives so far as they concern the engineer’s department in a way that would leave no doubt in the mind of anyone as to the proper management and distribution of the funds of that department. The engineer’s office has the handling annually of several thousand dollars of the taxpayers’ money. It appears that the board of supervisors think this method is all right—at least, they thought so when they appointed Mr. McBride as engineer, in charge of road and bridge maintenance. Whether they think so now or not, I do not know." "I’m satisfied this method is centralizing too much in the head of one of the county departments, so far as the financial costs of the experiment is concerned. It appears that what is needed in some of the county departments, especially that of the county engineer, is system. The board of supervisors ought not to delegate absolute power to the county engineer in the management of the affairs of that department. “If the meeting of the A. C. of C. held in Fullerton last evening means anything, the board of supervisors must have taken a hint, since the majority of them were present, and it is possible that some constructive measures will be taken. "It only amounts to this: The people will in the end hold the board of supervisors responsible for the county work and conditions that go to have to foot the $600 of the accountants. Then Atty T. L. McFadden left into the breach and turned the With real oratory he poured and shell into the ranks of the w washers and won the first appl of the night for the Anaheim penns. From that point on it was different story." of the county engineer, is system.

"It only amounts to this: The people will in the end hold the board of supervisors responsible for the county work and conditions that might be smellorated by sound judgment and energetic action on their part." Mr. Coulier declared that this was the largest meeting of its kind ever held in Fullerton, and that those who partook of the banquet did justice to the efforts of the ladies of the Fullerton Ebelli Club. CHIROPRACTOR DISMISSED Miss Venetta Henderson, of Anaheim, with chiropractor offices in Fullerton, who was recently arrested by members of the state board of medical examiners on the charge of practicing without a license, was given a preliminary hearing before Judge French this morning and dismissed for lack of evidence. Griffith Jones was the attorney for the defense and Rollin A. Thompson for the prosecution. PLAN THREE-STORY BLDG.

CONTINUES ROAD INVESTIGATION (Continued From Page Open going to have to foot the $600 of the accountants. Then Atty T. L. McFadden into the breach and turned the With real oratory he poured and shell into the ranks of the white washers and won the first applause. From that point on it was different story. "I resent the insinuation that Santa Anna courthouse has a corn on all the brains and that the third supervisorial district is made up round-headed fools," declared the orator, in ringing phrases. "Don't think for a minute that any hushing up of this particular investigation going to be the end of the matter and don't think that the third supervisorial district, with 48 per cent of the assessed valuation of the county and 45 per cent of the population can't pay for the expense of this investigation. "Mr. Ford has just given you an evidence of what we are continually bumping up against with our county officials when he talks of 'his' job. McFadden was swinging along in fine style, when President Jahrus, a southender used his gavel and asked him to sit down. There were cries of "let him talk!" and he proceeded in a calmer but equally effective tone, putting some very pointed questions to the county engineer, who hesitated about answering, and the county auditor, who was decidedly meek compared to the meeting a month ago. One question had reference to work by the county in the city of Stanton which McFadden charged was being done illegally. Seamans then, following up affidavits he and Farmer had prepared backing up their report of their investigation, read further results of their investigation including new figures. He charged several discrepancies were to be noted in reports by the county engineer for one month compared with another, that these aggregated more than $10,000. He called attention to a charge of more than $700 for inspection and engineering one mile of level paving on Euclid-ave, that $125 was plenty for inspection, leaving $600 for surveying which he claimed was equivalent to two men at $8 per day for 35 days, an exhorbitant expense. It was at this point that F. C. Krause moved the appointment of a committee of five, one from each district. There were other charges and counter charges, following which Krause made a second motion, to proata the expense of the investigation.
