is IT ItlUIIT?
Tiik Scotrr dit-likesto bo continually
finding fault with the city council and
their manner of doine business, but
duty compels us to again call atten
tion to a few facts.
It is a well known fact that when
the present council took their seats a
great majority of them were preju
diced towards Tub Scout. This they
probably had a right to be, but should
they be governed by their prejudice
to tbe detriment and at the expense of
the taxpayers of the city?
Most of our citizens or at least
those who have given the matter
thought arc well aware that the
council did not do right when it
awarded the Republican the contract
for the city printing at a price 55 per
cent higher than the bid of The Scout
a fact which has been fully explained
in these columns heretofore, and ,
which no member of the council can
conscientiously deny yet they con
tinue to pay this extra 55 per cent,
and more, for the city printing.
As will be seen from tho bills al
lowed from month to month, the cost
of running the city government a
great deal higher than for years past,
besides the heavy expense for water
works, hook and ladder trucks, sur
veying, street grading, etc., to say
nothing about tho useless ami wasted
expenditure of considerable money in
experimenting with the roservoir at
tho head of Catherine creek.
We uro well awaro of the fact that it
costd money to carry on the city gov
ernment and are in favor of any ex
penditure that will tend to build up
the town, but when tho expenses uro
running so high wo think it is tho
duty of the council to sec Unit no j
unnecessary expenses are incurred.
Right here we will say that wo have
no objections to the council paying
the price for job printing as agreed to
by the proprietors of tho Republican
viz : 50 per cent lower than tho going
rato charged by other houses in this
vicinity; they aro wolcomo to it at
that price. But do they do it? No,
Tho bill as put in and allowed for a
22 nago pamphlet, law brief size, set
in long primer thrible leaded, was
?22.50 for 100 copies. Tho regular
price for such work, singlo leaded, is
$1.00 por page, and many ollices aro
doing it for 'JO cents per pago, for 50
copies. The extra 50 copies aro only
worth about sfz.UO. According to
their own bid thoy should have re
ceived for tho work only $l!l.25, yet
thoy have tho gall to put in a bill at
tho regular prico and tho council has
tho gall to allow it. Tho council has
already paid tho Republican somo
$10.00, or moro, extra for publishing
ordinances, besides 50 cents to tho
editor for ailldavit of publication of
each ordinance, amounting to $5.50.
This is a small mutter and wo do
not claim that it will bankrupt tho
city, or anything of tho kind, but it is
a still smaller muttor for a council
who were elected to servo tho best in
terests of tho pooplo to indulgo in. If
it wcro through ignoranco that thoy
aro acting in this matter there would
bo somo excuse, but such is not tho
case. Is it right that thoy should
continuu in this manner?

she was still a widow, Justice of the

put no tickets in tho field for either

thoy must bo, Thoy outnumber the

If thoy want to play tho old and cheap
