The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1895-07-04

This paper has from time TO time
called attention TO the fact mat the
expenses of the members of the county
court are all out of proportion to what
they should be.
\ reporter yesterday took the bills
of the selectmen and made d compila-
ton which will be of interest TO the
taxpayers and will show just how the
money of the people is being expended.
MIR. Geddes is the first man on the
list, as will be seen. His bill IS not as
large as RObertS's, nor as small as
Christopherson's But like Mercutio' 5
sword wound, 1t VIII serve. Inc
,Acourt seems to be playing d game Ot
s@sseven up in the matter of drawing
Ssalaries. Roberts plays nigh, CHRIS
topherson low, Geddes the knave or
jack, and all get Il good share of the
game.
The bills of the sclectmen for the
last month arc herewith appended.
