WHERE DOES THE RESPONSE
 BILITY BELONG?

As was surmised, and suggested in these columns, council bill No. 122, for the relief Of c la county by the funding of S31, ,253.27 indebtedness, framed and introduced by E. J. Edwards and which passed both houses of the legislature, died in the hands of w. c Foster, the enrolling and expressing clerk of the the council, and was traced by Alonzo Bailey and found ln Fosters office.
 The endorsements on the bill show that it passed the council April 4th, was sent to the house on the following day and passed by that body April 10 b {; returned to the council same day and referred to committee on enrolled and engrossed bils for enrolment April I2th. The legislature did not adjourn until o'clock on the morning of April l4th, notwithstanding the clock in the house indicated midnight
 It is apparent, therefore, that there was ample time for enrolling the bill and for its approval by the governor, and it is now in order for w. c. F, str to explain, if he knows. why the bill was held back and its enactment de- feated. The bill was the most import ant of the session to Giia county, its purpose being to afford much-needed financial relief to the county. The facts, on their face, show MT. Foster responsible for the defeat of the bill. and it is in order for him to explain why it was not enrolled and sent to the governor for lis signature. Mir. Foster has filled the position of enrolling and engrossing clerk for six consecutive terms; of the legislature. He IS a men- Der of the territorial board of equsli- cation by virtue of appointment, and is an applicant for the federal position of receiver of public moneys at Prescott. Silver Belt.
