Mrs. L. Handley left last week

relatives.
LET’S HEAR FROM SHERIFF WEED
Recently the sheriff’s office sent nearly $300
worth of work to be done by printing shops outside
of this county.
A few months ago, the editor explained to the
sheriff that most every printing shop in this county
was equipped to handle any work his office desired
done and naturally wished for a chance to bid on
this work, especially since all were taxpayers and
were uniting their efforts in boosting for Columbia
county.
The Vernonia Eagle may be mistaken in criti­
cizing Sheriff Weed of Columbia county for send­
ing printing of the sheriff’s office to firms outside
of the county, but before we apologize for our stand
on the matter we desire that Sheriff Weed answer
the following questions:
How much printing has the sheriff’s office of
Columbia county had done outside of this county
during his administration?
Is the work done by printing houses outside of
Columbia county of such nature that it can not be
done by Columbia county shops?
Has the sheriff forgotten that it is taxpayers’
money, some of which Columbia county print shops
are paying, that he is sending shops outside the
îounty?
Does the sheriff know that Columbia county
mint shops are equipped to do excellent printing,
)ut if the work sent out of the county is of such
echnical nature that it could not have been proper-
y done by shops in this county, then the work could
>e let through Columbia shops at a figure which
zould effect a real saving to the taxpayers and
ive Columbia county printing houses a commis­
ion on the work?
