BRENHOLTS, Ass't Cashier C. S. WILLIAMS, 2d Ass't Cashier F. M. Brykit Cleaver A REPLY TO "MR. TAXPAYER." (Continued from pare Z.l ied myselt to believe that your Inten tions were lust, but your Ignorance was fault Let's see about this salary business, and do a little figuring our selves, with the public: Chief of police, 185; night marshal, 175', extra marshal,,!?!; water super intendent, 8S; pump man, 7S; re corder, 110; poundmaster, ISO; attor ney, 133.11; street superintendent, I7S. a total of list per month, or I7.8SS per year, were they all employed month)y, but the extra marshal -works about four months and the pump man eight or nine months out of each year. making a total expense of about 17,- 000 on the actual salary list "The mayor has favored no great measure." . Let's see. ' Did the mayor favor the Beaver creek project? Is It a great measureT Did the father of this article (he's only an adopted pa) favor that measureT Now, Mr. Tax payer, you that I favored, do favor and always have used my best energies toward securing this supply cf pure water, and, as a matter of spite work because It was a pet measure of mine, your interest defeated the new charter and thereby prevented our getting a good and sufficient supply of pure, wholesome water for our cltlxens to use. Still you cry "Look at the mud dy streets, fllty and dlsease-produtcng water," etc. Have you any conscience I say No! For it was those ox your Ilk that prevented this great under taking. You say that the mayor Is too vacillating In his policies, and refer to my vote on the high license ordinance. ordinance as being too high. Not at all, It was too low. I did vote against the Finn ordinance because It was too radical and would have put the sa loons out of business not a province of six or eight men, but a matter that should be left to a vote of the people. You say that I am negligent as a pub lic officer because a mayor pro tern signed a few warrants. as I mayor pro tern?' You know I was not, but you Insinuate that I was, and try by your misleading statements to lead the public to believe that I 'was acting In that capacity. This warrant was Is. sued as a rebate on liquor license, and there Was another man already paying license for the privilege of run nlng a saloon at the same place', the council deemed It right and prop?) that this man should receive back the money paid, for which he was rwlv tng no benefits. This precedent ha, been followed on many occasions sine? A warrant Of 1 1 3 B was Voted to assist In entertaining the Odd Fellows during their grand lodge meeting In L.-. Grande, but as the grand lodge him sufficient funds the city was neve called on for this or any othor amour:1. consequently this warrant was neve; Issued. You make reference to th 125,000 bonds voted to erect the c! . hall. Was this money judiciously han died? If there is any one thing tlu. I am proud of as a city official, it is the tact that the ways and means com mittee, of which I was a member, hu me nanuung or ine construction o this btllMlng and that the taxpayers got more' thfrrt Value received for thel monoy. 'This 6nmittee negotiated for the Installing of the1 heating plain for this Bame building, and fid 6ne dt nies me ract that we got value re ceived for the outlay; not $4,000 ae you Insinuate the committee may ha pocketed. Do we, or did the city ever pay 115 per month for arc lights, as- you boldly proclaimed to the public Is it not a fact that the city contract was for $8 per month instead of 115 a difference of nearly 100 per cent In this connection I may say that the city Is now entering Into a contract at 16 per month for arc lights, to go Into effect at soon as the company resumes operation. Incandescents at 13 per month. I presume this was a "for candle power," too. Why don't you be specific in your charges and no: mere ly skim the surfaces Just because you think you ran fool the people. I want to say right here, that during my time In the council an expense was never created nor a cent spent on a warrant drawn that was not authorized by th council, for good and legitimate pur. poses. During my tenure In office th council has been mails up of good, conservative business men, and during that time you cannot find a single In stance In which an official tried to graft the city. For any other facts In this matter I call your attention to the .financial statement of the city which appears In this Issue of the Eve, nlng Observer. With this record be hind me, I leave myself in the hands of the voters to decide whether or not they approve of civic Improvement and moral upbuilding of our progressive little city. I sign myself, not anonym ously a "Taxpayer," but very truly, A. L. RICHARDnOM. 44444444444444 Political Information. County registration books open until April 7. r - Primary election April 17. .
