Taxpayers and Citizens.

desire TO call your attention to the
long wanted and much needed improve
ment in the financial condition of Ford
county, and the remedy at hand which
viii immediately correct the injustice
and place Ford county on a par basis.
Should the people demand this?
Yes. Why?
F'i.st. Because in commerce we stand
at 30 cents on the dollar: that is, to the
bills against the county for supplies is
added ten per cent, hence, the county
for each dollars worth Of goods is pay
ing one dollar and ten cents. also the
interest on the S1.1O, while, if funding
bonds were issued to cover the Outstand
ing warrants against the county, with
our same tax levies, and less, we could
pay dollar for dollar, thus saving the
ten per cent, and interest on the same.
The above applies to the county as a
corporation.
Now for a reference to that which
draws blood from the individual as well
as corporation.
A witness is subpoenaed or juror sum-
moned, and all other instances of en-
ploymcnt by the county, but for exam
pie take the Juror, who gets So day.
To-day he can get S1.S4 for his 81 in
scrip, and the party buying the scrip
gets the 16 cents of the jurors wages,
then the juror goes home to work to help
pay the interest on that scrip. Now. at
the end OF the year he and the county
have paid % cents on that scrip and still
have the scrip to pay for.
have simply given these as examples
of the modus operandi of our county af-
fairs
Iwould advise all interested to call on
the commissioner of their district to
consider and act Immediately on the
matter.
While the commissioners are having
the records of the county put in first
class shape, for which they should be
commended, they should make clean
sweep of it and put the county on a
sound basis, and if done Immediately
funding bonds can be issued to take up
the outstanding scrip, and the county
could conduct its business on a cheaper
basis than it now does. Hoping this
matter will be looked after Immediately
leave 1t with you. G. W. POTTER.

Married-At the Catholic church in
this city, on Monday morning, at 10
o clotk. Mr.. Robert Black to Miss Katie
Tast. the Rev. Father Kearful officiating
Only intimate friends of the contracting
parties being present to witness this
happy result of mutual affection. Mr..
Black is one of the Santa Fe railroad
boys. and his bride is most estimable
young lady. The Times hopes that
their lives may be filled with happiness
without alloy.
The amount of damage done TO vacant
houses in this city by the small boy will
amount to hundreds of dollars. There
are very few vacant houses that retain
any window lights, and the floors are
torn up, the walls denuded of paper, the
plaster broken through and in fact, all
manner of damage done. Property
owners are made to suffer heavy losses
by these young scamps and it is time
something was done to stop them. No
dwelling after having been vacant a
week is tit to live in without an expendi-
ture of from SO to S25. If this is not
stopped, property owners could well af-
ford to pay tenants something to live in
otherwise empty houses. The proper
authorities have a golden opportunity to
make a record for themselves in this
line, and now is the best time to do it.
