ILL MITES STRIVE BC BUS NESS MODS Ft IN SMALL DEAL! . Wh'jn, according to the -figara submlttcd by themselves and advo cates, tho present couaty court has saved to tho taxpayers of Klamatk county thousands upon thousand ot dollars, rscued the county fraam bankruptcy and given It f JOO.ett bank roll in two yean, It may aeeaa captious (o call attention to waaee of a paltry thousand or two. A wavp of the hand, one bom bastic bfeath of Mr. Marx ca doubtlcsa disprove the story of t high achool wiring, nevertheless, the Herald has investigated the matter with due cant and pretests the facts for what they are worth to prove that even great wliarda finance" have their eft days. " Lata last fall It was decided U chango the wiring In the county high school. If remembrance serves the fire chief had suggested the need. The county court set about the matter. A bid was received la writing from It. J. Sheets (the Link Blver Electric company) for f MM, approximately, for the job. This la verified by Mr. Sheet's statement. Tho court, however, rejected this bid and gave tbe Job to H. J. Mel lon, who at the time of the agree ment, December 20, 1919, conducted the Klamath Electric company on Fourth street. The agreement appears in the Journal of the commissioner, from which tbe Herald gleans these facts regarding It, Mellon agreed to do the work tor cost, plus 10 per cent profit. In other words. Melton had not the finances to carry out the contrast when he took It. The court ar ranged to buy the material aad pay 10 per cent above the coat of la atallatlon as Melton's profit. The payments were to be msde tram time to time up to January 19th, through tbe First National baak. and the warrant stubs show that they were paid at different periods, but ran along Into April. And they show also that the cast ot the wiring was $3,0(4.90. In cluding the salary ot E. O. Beau- champ as inspector. 9309.14. Aa Inspector would have been essen tial, .however, had Sheets got the contract at 91.300. so that la flaal analysis they psld 91.799.99 ceats for work that they had aa offer t do for 91.200. Incidentally the agreement be tween the court and Mellon provid ed that commoa labor waa to be employed In the 'work where possi ble at an avaace of 10 per cent .as the wages usually psld commoa labor. Here we strike the ecosoesy note. If tbe going wages for com mon, which means in general par lance unorganised labor, were 99. a day's wage, with 10 per cent ad vance would be $5.60. Organised electricians' pay Is 97 per day aad up, so that the county court was proceeding on a sound theory et economy, but unfortunately It did not work out efficiently in practice. These are the facta as far as the Horald knows them. There is a re port that Mellon waa a shrewder financier than even the county court members, snd that as a result ot the arrangement he was able to do sev eral profitable outside Jobs with surplus material that be generously ordered en the high school account. Eventually hla business methods, however, met with such general dis approval that his trade dwindled and he left tor California, leaving quite a trail ct financial woe In his wako.
