Tombstone epitaph., 1890-03-22
AN EXAMPLE, IN ECONOMY.

Some weeks since the EPITAPH charged that the Board of Supervisors was wasteful and extravagant, not, withstanding its claim that it was economically administering county af- fairs. The EPITAPH also charged that the Board did not hold people to the performance of their contracts. To prove both assertions we submit the following statement to the public:
