Warrant dispute stalls as Leighton refuses to countersign warrants
In Bexar County the stalemate over a $100000 WPA warrants batch deepens after County Treasurer Thomas G. Leighton refused to countersign the issue. Judge Woodhull offered to halt $25,000 underpass warrants and proceed with a compromise to back the plan if Leighton would sign the remaining warrants. The court and commissioners seek a written reply by Monday while Leighton stands firm on his refusal.
