The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1895-07-02

Yesterdays session of the county
court was busy one, the selectmen
having a whole lot of minor business
to attend to, in addition to passing
their own claims.
1t is a noteworthy fact in connection
with the allowance of the accounts of
the members Of the court that there
has never been a kick on any bill filed
by any of them. This rule may apply
to the sheriff and to the other parties
who have served the county in various
capacities, but the selectmen, never.
The Herald some time ago called at
tention to the fact that the members
of the county court were using the
poor farm wagon to assist them in the
accumulation of mileage. Whether
this had anything to do with the ac-
ton recently taken or not, of course, is
a question which can be answered only
by the men themselves. But suffice it
to say the taxpayers have SIS more in
the treasury than before, owing to an
act on the part of the selectmen in
paying that sum to the treasurer for
the use of the conveyance.
The proceedings of yesterdays ses-
sion were as given below:
Bingham must be contemplating
high jinks celebration on July Fourth;
one of those gay old times, where high
wine flows like water and tincture of
gambrinus is deep enough to swim in
The following resolution was intro
duced by the member from the "Old
Reliable" and carried, of course:
Whereas, 1t is the sense of this court
that additional peace officers are neces-
sary at Bingham on July ), and D.,
therefore be it
Resolved, That L. c. Jeffrey, j. Z:
Morrissey and c. j. Funnel be, and
they are hereby appointed peace Of
ficers for Bingham precinct on the
dates aforesaid, and that the compen-
sation of such persons shall be So per
day.
AS stated in The Herald would be
the case, Tyson, the Third precinct
politician, has discovered he mas an
elephant on his hands in the contract
for correcting the collectors plats. he
notified the court that under the con-
tract the court agreed to furnish the
assessors's plats and has not done So;
that he will present a claim under
said agreement and ask its allowance.
This is exactly in accordance with
The Herald's representation Inc
court could have let the work for
reasonable figure to competent men,
those who could have obtained the
Mats from the assessor without
trouble and saved money. 1t is now
a. case of Ego back and begin over:
TYSON has the court fast and hard. He
had his contract drawn right as far as
he is concerned, and the three select
men, having danced, can now pay the
piper" ~, 49,,
The selectmen filed their bills, the
nGual
amounts. Roberts is over the Sz0O
mark. his average wages being SIT

miles per trip. In the 18th of June the
occupations of the selectmen were
diversified. Geddes was at Mill Creek

des' bill is s1S2, 40 Martin Christopher

cut in order to even up for this.
