People will note that in the latter
days of the month, Geddes charges Z
charge for every trip made to his Of
flee? Mr.. Geddes probably can ex-
plain.
The law contemplates that in going
to meeting of the court, the member
is entitled to mileage, one way only.
IL does not contemplate that a, per-
son shall charge mileage twice for thu.
same days business. If it does then
The Herald advises the selectman
from Bingham to go home to dinner
every day. That twenty-seven miles
is not to be sneezed at CHRISTOPHER
son might work in three miles at lunch
time also.
There is another matter which the
! taxpayers are entitled to know some
thing of too. and that is the pauper
account of Mr.. Geddes which is repre-
sented by a bill which he files occa-
sionally which relates that the State
bank is entitled to a payment on an
overdraft on pauper account. There
is never any explanation made; the
bill comes in and is ordered paid. No
one will say that the bank is not
entitled to the cash claimed but what
has it been expended for?
| ltemiZed statements should be made
OF all accounts which are paid by the
court. This paper has stated the law
on that point often enough for the
members of the court to have learned
it by heart.
The columns of this paper are open
for any explanation which any mem
Der may desire to make, but it is fair
to presume none of them want to
make any statements.
