| Willard salisbury, Jr.. appeared before
the court. He represented John Il. Doan,
who was in charge of thcspecial constables
at the last election.
All the hooks, accounts and vouchers
were produced. Mr.. salisbury asked the
court to return the stubs of the check
book accounts tn the secretary of state
who had Investigated the items and passed
on them.
All the accounts were completely made
| out. including small sum for clerk hire
which Mr.. Dolan found it necessary to in
cur and by which a large amount of I'M
authorized bills were prevented from
being passed.
The total expenses are pretty heavy"
Mr.. salisbury continued. But we had a
quiet election and it was cheap service for
the work done.
A smile lit up the countcnance of many
| present as Mr.. salisbury spoke. In certain
directions. however, there was note of
strong interrogation imprinted on the
faces of others.
Possibly" he contended smiling,
some of You may not agree with me on
that score" Mr.. Salisbury then left the
books and accounts with Mr.. Jolls. The
whole matter was referred to the COM
mittee on elections.
Mr.. Jolls rather feared there were no
| funds to pay the account as presented, al
| though, as Mr.. Salisbury stated there ex-
listed full warrant in law for such action.
The prospects are not good for the pay
ment of the special constables accounts BY
the present Levy Court. Those owning
the warrants will most likely have to wait
until the beginning of the year.

ment in regard to the difficulties his com
mittee ON election bills labors under
Printing for the same work. that of the
lists of voters costs double as much in somt
precincts as in others. In both instances
the bills are authorized by the inspectors
But then the contrast in cost is sogreat the
committee does not know what to do abou
them. Mr.. Jolls asked for the opinion o.
the court.
Mr. Hutchison thought that as the cleo
ton accounts committee had wrestled 81
successfully with the other bills they ough
to brace up and try again.

take the responsibility of passing or O.
refusing the bills.
