THE PLAT-BooK INDIcEs.
Auditor Smith Allowed Same Amount
Paid Auditor Taggart.

Under the head Cost of a County Index
the News which objects to injecting what
Democrats did three years ago as a part
of the present campaign speaks of a con-
tract made by the County Commissioners
with County Auditor Smith for indexing the
plat books in the township assessors Office
in December 1895. The present commission
ers were not all holding Office then. Much
is made over the fact that the work on the
induces was done by deputies in the as
SCISSORS Office and it is charged that they
were working on the county's time. Wheth-
err an allowance to Mr.. Smith of $500 is a
reasonable compensation" as the con-
tract provided. is questioned by the paper.
A very simple explanation of the transac-
ton is made at the commissioners office In
determining what was "a reasonable COM
pensation," the commissioners turned back
to an allowance for similar contract with
Mayor Thomas Taggart when he was
county auditor, and when E. NJ. Johnson,
now the Democratic candidate, practically
run the office for Taggart Mr.. Taggart was
paid $500. The only difference is that under
Mr.. Smiths contract rs per cent. more serv-
ice was rendered, as there were more plats
to index, owing to the expansion of the city.
the laying out of new subdivisions and af
fairs of that character
Neither was the work done on the "coun-
tvs time It is shown that Mr.. Smith
turned the contract over to Assessor Eugene
Saulcy, who with his deputies. did the
work. They did it on their own time, work
ing at night and at other hours when their
employment with their own duties of the
office did not keep them engaged. When the
work was finished the commissioners de-
cided that a reasonable compensation"
would be at least what had been
paid to Thomas Taggart, and they
allowed $500. no claim being made
for larger allowance than Tag
CART received although considerably
more service was rendered the county. Mr..
Smith settled with Mr. Saulcy, who, his
deputies say, paid them for the extra work.
good deal of labor. First slips are made
from the plat books. Then they are arranged
alphabetically and entered in the indices.
After the new indices had been in use some
time they began to be worn out. They are
used constantly by abstracters, attorneys
and others who have occasion to search the
records They were becoming in such
state that they could not be used and Mr..
Saulcy directed his deputies to recopy them
into new books. This was a much less labor
ious task than making the new indices, as
it was not necessary to first prepare slips.
The copying into the new books was done
by the deputies during regular hours of the
office, as other regular and necessary
routine business is done. Nobody was paid
anything for this work of copying the in
dices, except the regular salaries that are
paid for the general business of the Office.

North now over week and have been very
much astonished to see the outrageous lies
published with seeming sincerity. l have
had every opportunity to see all the abuses
and, when there are any, have not been
slow to point them out, but am more than
mortified to know that any newspaper is so
dsloyal at this time as to publish such
things as can be seen almost any day in the
Sentinel. 1t is impossible to get an army of
100000 men together without some
hardships and suffering. 1t is not every
physician nor every nurse that is as patient
and tender as a mother, but who expected
it? Most of the officers are doing every
thing in their power to assist the men to
comfort and health. Do they seek to make
political capital out of the infamous lies
they publish? 1t seems to me that they
presume greatly on the intelligence and
patriotism of their readers. l was in the

THE COUNTY'S PRINTING
COST THIS YEAR $4,000 LESS THAN
UNDER THE DEMOCRATS.
Levey Bros. e Co. show the Unfair
BurfOrd Contract Compared.

Levey Bros. & Co. have something to sag
with reference TO the contract for county
printing awarded to them last December
by the Board of County Commissioners.
The Sentinel has tried to show that the
county government is paying more for
county printing this year than ever before
IN the history of the county, to quote it's
own language in the issue of Sept. 20. Ger
tam items in the contract of Levey Bros. &
Co. were picked out by that paper and COM
pared with the same items furnished the
county in 1896 The purpose was to show
Dy these specific items that the price paid
this year was greater than ever before in
the history of the county," The firm goes
back year further than the Sentinel and
compares the prices it is getting with those
paid by a Democratic board in the year
1885,
The same items that the Sentinel uses
are used for the purpose of comparison by
the printers. This list shows that the prices
being paid this year are less than those paid
in 1895 with one or two exceptions. The
price for tax receipts per thousand was S. 80
in 1885. This year it is, So cents a quire, or
$3.50 thousand. In answer to the charge
that in bidding on tax receipts by the quire
the number of receipts should have been

ways been the custom to make such bids on
the basis of printers quires," which con-
tanned twenty receipts. In past years it
was the custom to print the receipts in sin
gle sheets. but for the convenience of the
Office 1t was decided to print them three to
the sheet. This made difference, they
say, in the total number as they figured
on the old basis of twenty to the quire.
The price for scratchbooks note Daper size
was cents each in both 1895 and. 1896, as
shown by the books. They say Nx6t on all
other items picked out by the Sentinel for it's
comparison the price this year is considera-
bly, less than in 1895. Furthermore, they
assert that the total amount the county
will have paid them at the end of the year
when their contract expires, Dec. 81, will
be considerably less than was paid by the
Democratic commissioners for the supplies
of 1895. Below are given the figures for 1898,
as used by the Sentinel, compared with
those of 1895, compiled from the records of
the contract awarded by the Democratic

catboI;c Archbishops.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-The Catholic
archbishops of the United States and a
number of the prominent clergy are as
sembling in the city to attend the annual
meetings of the board of trustees of the
Catholic University and OF the archbshops
this week That of the trustees of the Uni
versity, of which Cardinal Gibbons is presi-
dent. will commence tomorrow. There are
no questions to come up likely to lead to
long discussion. Following the disposition
or the work of the trustees will be the
meeting of the archbishops. There are thir-
teen OF these dignitaries in the church in
the United States at this time, the arch
blshopric of Santa Fe being vacant. and
nearly all are expected to be present Car
dinai Gibbons, who will preside over the
archbishops, said to-day that he did not
know what questions the archbishops would
present for consideration, and therefore.
he was not able to indicate the scope of the
work TO be undertaken. 1t is believed to be
likely that. incidentally, the question of the
expansion of the work of the Catholic
Church, after the Spanish evacuation of
Cuba and Porto Rico and the ACQUISITION bv
the United States of territory i'm the Philin-
pines may come up for desultory discus
sion, but the opinion prevails that these
matters are yet too imma ture for the ont
