Why.

Several days ago the Evening Press
had a man detailed to go through the
county records end ascertain the
amount paid by the county IN the past
two years TO William q. Wilson for
lumber. Hour after hour the scribe
was observed copying from plies Of
bills and compiling long columns of
figures, and naturally curiosity was
excited as to what use would De made
of the figures. a close perusal of the
Press columns has failed to discover
anything bearing on the subject over
which the scribe posed sc long and so
assiduousiy. AS il was against the
law for the commissioners to allow one
single bill presented by one of their
number, and the commissioners were
liable 20 "a $500 fine IN addition to the
penalty provided in the penal code"
for every such offense. the Press will
have no trouble IN making out a case
against the commissioners if il so
chooses. Was the Press afraid of in
volving its friend Child in the legal
meshes, or why does it not use those
figures? If they were not to be used,
why were they collected? What has
happened? What, if anything, is go
ing TO happen?
