Bryant and asked that he be removed from his office. The charges were contained in an affidavit filed with City Manager H. G. McElwee.

Mason charged that Chief Bryant conspired with an attorney of the Greyhound Bus Company and others and by so doing protected one side and disregarded the rights of others in a Greyhound employes strike. Mason, secretary of the Amalgamated Association of Street, Electric Railway and Motor Coach Employes of America, explained why he was resubmitting the charges. "On Feb. 19, 1946, I filed an affidavit with the board of commissioners, asking the removal of W. E.

Bryant as chief of police Mason continued: "Adrian Terrell, city corporation counsel, reported that, in his opinion, the charge was not properly placed, and was insufficient, legally, to warrant a hearing before the board of city commissioners. "To correct the status of the charge, I am now making a charge as hereinafter stated X. As senior officer of the union here, it is my duty to protect our members and the public from any dereliction of duty of our city officials," Mason wrote. "First, Mr. Bryant states he was asked to hold the warrant by methat is not true.

"Secondly, Mr. Terrell says if I had called at the police station for I would have had to have had the the warrant on the eve of Feb. 19, warrant amended. "I did call at the police station at about 10 p. m.

on that date. The warrant could not be found for either service or amendment. far as the warrant being defective, if it were defective it was the responsibility of the chief to so inform the judge who issued itnot my own. Whether defective or not, the chief had no authority to hold, delay or in any way interfere with the service of that warrant when called for and needed for execution. as a citizen and taxpayer of Paducah Burley Floor Will Hold Last Sale March 7 The Paducah Burley Floor will hold its final sale March 7, Glenn Campbell, manager of the market, announced today.

The floor opened December 10, a few days after a burley market was authorized for Paducah by the federal government. The mart continued to hold sales after major markets in the state closed, for convenience of farmers in this district who had been delayed in getting their leaf on the auction floor. "Continuation of sales after the main season ended was a big exto pense give to the our market, farmers but of we this wanted area every advantage," Mr. Campbell declared. Paducah floor sold approximately 1,200,000 pounds of leaf in its opening year of activity.

Averages were consistent with those elsewhere, considering the quality of weed offered here and at the other markets. Mr. Campbell and others connected with the floor are optimistic as regards prospects for the market next year. The warehouse is near Tenth and Kentucky avenue.

Mason, in his affidavit, wrote: "On Jan.

17, a John Doe warrant was issued by the police judge. At 9:10 a.m., it was delivered to W. E. Bryant, chief of police. Mr.

Bryant made the statement he had COoperated with the Greyhound Company 100 per cent in the past and intended to continue to do so and in support of this statement he did confer with the company's attorney, Mr. Wheeler, and Mayor Wayne Seaton. Neither one of those three had any authority to retard the action demanded. "When the warrant was needed on Feb. 19, two days after its issuance, it, could not be found.

W. E. Bryant by such action failed both holding up this warrant after This collaborating with the company's attorney and "I demand that he be removed from the office of chief of police as he violated his oath, by protecting one side and disregarding the rights of others and by his absolute disregard of the duties required of him, and by collaborating with others in the interest of the Greydid wilfully and knowingly hound Company, as he afore stated, deliver said warrant to the police captain's desk, for service when needed. "He caused later trouble to arise which, as all our members feel, would have been averted had he acted impartially. But instead his acts encouraged violence and his sympathetic attitude to the company still encourages trouble." The warrant to which Mason rehis letter was issued Jan.

ferretter two pickets on duty reported that one of the men imported from Memphis by the company (Greyhound Bus Company) was carrying a concealed deadly weapon (a black jack)." The incident allegedly occurred on Jan. 16 and Mason, not knowing the identity of the man, secured a "John Doe" warrant. Mr. McElwee told The Sun-Democrat he would turn the affidavit over to Adrian Terrell, city corporation counsel. Stewart Favors Giving Counties Last Say On Roads County Judge Brady M.

Stewart said today he is strongly in favor of shifting to Fiscal Courts the final say in rural road building "because we could administer road funds much more efficiently under the proposed plan." "The shifting of authority would eliminate red tape involved in the existing setup and allow our county to offer improved service on rural roads," he declared. Judge Stewart pointed out that the present setup "gives the county very little to say about roads under supervision of the rural highway "About all we can do is designate what roads need attention," he asserted. "We are monthly how much money set up for rural highway purposes has been spent and the balance on hand, but we have nothing to say about how much is spent or how the funds are applied." The state allocates approximately $18,000 annually for rural highway use here. The money is kept in a fund at Frankfort and does not pass. through the county's hands, Judge Stewart said.

County judges have asked the state to double the rural roads appropriation. A big saving, which would allow more money to come out of the county levy fund for other purposes, would result from direct control of rural roads, he asserted. The bill providing the shift passed the House Thursday by a vote of 79-6. It now goes to the Senate. Mayfield Jaycee Awarded Charter By State President MAYFIELD, March 1-Cliff Rice, Louisville, president of the Kentucky Junior Chamber of Commerce, presented a charter last night to the Mayfield chapter of the Jaycee.
