Uformation for Tax Payers.
In an article published in the Enter
prise last weea is tn asserboa that no
underhanded work was done in regard
to the powder contract. We merely as k
Mr. Scott as did the article entitle d
"Dark Complected," whether or not he
got the lowest p rice on nito-glycerine
powder, as there was but one bid. I aim
to see that every contract le; to con -
'pet i tors is at the lowest rate. I will ask
the taxpayers of this county to investi
gate and see whi'ther or Dot they receiv
ed the lowest possible prices on nito
glycerine powders, and so far an the un
derhanded and spite work against M r.
Scott is concerned, wo don't conside he
gave us. a clear, answer to the "dark
complected" work and we hope in the
future he will give us a more definite
answer.
Why does Commissioner Scott set 15
extra miles when goes to county court
meeting and Commissioner Jaggar his
even number? Why is it that Commis
sioner Scott was assessed in 1802 at $28,
218, in 1893 $26,340, in 1894 $19,540, and
in 1895 but $16,470? We think it ad vis
able for taxpayers to turn to books and
look the matter up. '
