TIfOUG HT RESOLUTION IN WESTERFIELD NATTER MERIELY PLANNED FORMAL STEP INTO COURT Tè'\,SETr. TLE INTERESI ISSU E-SENSATIONA L ADMISSION BY ONE MMI AND HE SAYS OTHERS FEIT THE SAME WAY HAD NO IDEA PLAN MEANT TO REMOVE TREASURER INSTATER-REFERS TO STATEMENT ON COUNTY FUNDS ONCE MADE BY MAN NOW CIRCUIT .IUDGE. "NIy uîidorstaîing of that 'eîîîov'aiof' Westcî'field', resolutioîî wticlî passed the supervisons Friday, Wtas nlot that lie was to bc rcnîoved inistanter froin offiee as it after- wards was revealed to us was the purpose, anxd, if the con- 4eiiator3' course whiielî developed towaîils th(- treasurer at thxe afternooîî sessiou. Friday hiad not înaterialized, there would btave been an inediatc recoîîsideratioîî of the îeso- lutioxi at the afternoon session," said on1e of the ecoîît 's mnt proninent supervisors wlio voted for fl(- sejisatiolial resolîîtioîî Friday. Continîîing, lie said: "Mv îîîîdeîstaniiniig as tlîat ftie resolution merely wa.8 one of th~ e e((ss;ai-y seps to get that interest problein into court and bave the point de- cided Linally inits regîjiar chianîxels. Thiat's what 1 tilought it was plaîîned foi- and that was flic-îînderstaniding of a number of other supervisors who told nie tijeir sentiments afterwardB. "None of lis feit that the passage of that resolution ±LLÛýi'QUet the officiai froni office at the instant it and I tell vou it %vould have lcet reconsidered mihysuddenly in the afternoon did ixot the facts develop that the situation was to bc' cleared and th(- whole matter plaeed on the issue: WJIETJIER WESTERFIEI1D lIAS A RIGHT TO RETjIN INTERFkT 01?

This inejuber, w~ho 15 0one of the thinkiîg inieinhers of the board, and h thus -withoîît ait * vlesit.inîc-v states his position, added furf ber along this hune: "Years ago this interest niatter ('alie tn before the board of supervisors and at that tituie a proininent attor-I ney of Waukegaîî, Charles Wlifncyý (who siliceehas hecorne circuit judge), wvas ealled into a conferenec with a num- ber of board inenîbers. We asked hinii as to fthe status of -the matter and while hce did uot advise the board officially, not being state's attorne ' at the time, Mr. Whitnîey did tel us in substance: The vouinty treastîrer, to niy present way of thinking has a riglît to put the ootîit *vfinnds wheret ever he likes, so long as the bondsmen are satisfied-hîc can take thern home and put them under bis pillow, hie can hide theni ini lis office, or, in fact, hie (a o'ai(1just whlat he wishes with theni, so long as thevy arc availahie whîcli- ever the county aýks for them. 1 " And this attorney sinie bas eecoine a circuit judgc, s0 it is even stili apparent his opinions ini sucli a niatter years ago were of value, sufficient in fact, to prevelît the badat that time trving to take a drastic action sîîch as some favored at the reeent sensational session. Opinions even at that 'tiîne from a man who was eminent enough to be eevated to the bench later, have always caused me to wSder just what was the legal status of this interest mat- ter, #vId that's why J've always wanted the matter gettled in thu, courts and not in the board of supervisors ol."
