ing Delinquencies.
SCORES BOA RD’S METHODS.
Probabilities of a grand jury investi- |
gation into the activities of the board
of poor drectors of
with
present and former members of the
board, loomed at Ebensburg on Mon-
day when President Judge John E. Ev-
ans referred a report of Henry L. Can-
non, county controller, to the district
attorney's office with instructions “to
act.”
Controller
port covering
Walter Devore
board of poor directors,
investigation over a period of several
months and, while no specific charges
were made against the other members
of the body, the controller’s report con-
tained implied charges of neglect of
duty against both John L. Evans and
Mrs. Alice Llewellyn.
“On several occasions during
year,” Cannon's report stated, “I know
these two members (Evans and Mrs.
Llewellyn) of the poor board expressed
themselves as being highly suspicious |
of the administration of out door re-|
lief on the part of Mr.
ted that they were a
increase of outdoor relief in his dis-
trict. During all this time, nevertheless,
they continued to approve the bills and
n the checks. In spite of this condi~
tion, and although I called their atten-|
tion to it on several occasions, they re-
fused to employ an investigator or to
make any investigation whatever them-|
selves. By so d
selves equally responsi
quencies of Devore.”
Attached to the report of the Con- |
troller were more than a score of affi-
davits from persons who swore that,
while they were shown to have received |
relief from Devore they did not, as an
actual fact, receive any funds but |
merely endorsed the checks for Devore |
and of storekeepers who asserted that |
checks issued to county dependants had |
been used by Devore to liquidate per- Le
sonal debts. |
Commenting on his written report.
the Controller in an eight-minute talk
to the court pointed out that expendi-|
tures for
board grew from $69,589.66 in 1924 to|
$122,794.36 in 1928, that expenditures for |
the same purpose in 1929 amounted to |
$11,348.80. Devore was a member of the |
board until his resignation was de-|
manded in October, 1929, but 1929 ex- |
penditures in the Johnstown district |
alone, over which Devore had sole su-
pervision, were decreased by $16,000 |
from August, when Miss Margaret Ma-
ckevrican was employed as a special
invest tor. |
Cannon pointed out that Miss Mack- |
evrican was summarily dismissed as a
poor board investigator within the past |
week, the action practically forcing the
resignation of Harve Tibbott as a mem-
ber of the board to fill Devore’s unex-
pired term.

to the facts set forth
in your report,” said Judge Evans in
speaking for the court, “it seems to me
that this board has been gravely at
fault in its lack of expenditure in cases |
where deserving poor should have been |
cared for; to my mind that is a more |
serious matter. We are forced to send
men to jail for violations of the laws of |
the commonwealth but that is no rea-|
son why their dependants should be |
made to suffer as long as Cambria

for them in the proper manner. Your |

COUNCILMAN WRITES.
To the Citizens of Patton Borough:
Due to the fact that I have been cri-
ticized so much of late in regards to|
Borough matters, I am asking the citi- |
zens of Patton borcugh to co-operate |
with me or direct with the borough
council, in different things that take
place throughout the year. One group
of people have one thought and again|
| other groups have other
thoughts as|
to what should take place and what
should be done. We have complaints as |
to the cost of operating this borough. |
High taxes, no lights in different sec-|
town, etc. We hear the story;2
that if we had good police service this
would be taken care of; if our
was active, another matter would be
taken care of, and so on. There have
been stories floating around that one
man runs the council as he sees fit
This is not true. I know that every
member of council is trying to do ev-
erything in his power for the good of]
the community, and we discuss matters!
very clearly before a decision. I am
sure that if some of our citizens would
attend some of our meetings that there
would be a diferent view on these
things. I have no dubt in my mind that
any request within reason will be con
sidered at council meetings at any time.
Citizens who want more information re
garding borough matters should attend
our meetings, ask questions through |
the local newspaper, or write or see me |
direct. I will be just too glad to give!
them any information that I am able |
to give.
Very truly yours,
