A REJECTED BILL.

District Attorney Loves Economy.
"The bill OF @. w. Grover for 90,
heretofore laid over by the Board, was
rejected"
This item from the proceedings of
the County Commissioners last Mon
day requires some explanation, lest
the public be led to the conclusion
that the INDEPENDENr has been
guilty OF attempting to draw money
from the County Treasury on an ille-
gal bill.
Section 1901, General Statutes, pro-
vides that Immediately after the last
Monday in November OF each year
the County Treasurer shall advertise
the property, upon which delinquent
taxes are lien, for sale; such notice
shall be published in q newspaper, if
there be one in ths county, at least
once week from the date. thereof
until the tims of sale; pro-
Uided, that the cost OF such publica-
ton shall not exceed two dollars for
each and evory case of delinquency.
Such notice shall specify the name Of
the owner, the amount OF taxes due,
together with penalty and costs, and
that ten per cent. on such taxes aud
cost Of advertising will be collected,
in addition to the original tax, or the
property will be sold for oil of said
sums.
When such delinquent taxes and
costs are paid the Treasurer collects
and pays to the newspaper advertis-
ing the property tbs two dollars pro-
vided for in the statutes; and when
the property is sold by the Treasurer
the purchaser pays all costs and pen.
alties, including he two dollars for
advertising. At the sale OF property
for delinquent taxes on the third
Monday of last January, four pieces
wore purchased by Elko county, in
addition to several which we're pur-
chased by private parties and on
which the penalties provided by law
wore paid, and we put in bill for S3
against tho county, the purchaser,
two dollars for each separate parcel
advertised. But the District Attor-
ney suddenly made the astounding dis
covery that ddvertising the delinquent
TAG list IS couaty printialJ, AMI at
his request the bill WAS rejected, pre-
sumably az q matter of economy,
though the justlce OF such claims
has neyes heretofore bsen question
ed. In arguing the matter at the
regular meeting in March we, the
District Attorney and the writer,
agreed toleape the matter to Judge
Bigelow and abide by his decision,
but Mr. Love has never mentioned
the matter TO the Judge, aud last
Monday advised the Commission
TO reject the bill.
We desire to present another in.
stance Of the District Attorneys ideas
OF economy in the expenditure of
county funds. In February, 1887,
the Legislature passed the following
act:
On and after the FIRST Monday in
January, A, ID. eighteen hundred aud
eighty.ninO, the District Attorneys, in
addition TO their respective duties,
shall b. sx.ofticiO Hupsfintendents OF
Schools within their respective coun-
ties, without additional compensa-
tIon.
Under this law Mr.. Love was elected
District Attorney Ok Elko county;
and soon aftor taking possession OF
