property you refer to is owned by Utah
county. l am satisfied that / have a
right to compensation and that the
county recorder has no public funds
at his disposal ! also know that the
county mi q a to he
bill My experience with boards Of
county commissioners is such that |
prefer to settle on n cash basis rather
than walt for 1t to act: sometimes they
don't act. Your truly.
IL. It. JACOBS"

fused to accept 1t for that reason. The
following communication from the
treasurer. accepting the machine, was
presented and filed.
Provo City. Utah, March Z, 1898.
To the Honorable Board County Com
missioners. Utah County:
MISUNDERSTANDING seriously recon-
sidercd the matter of the second hand
typewriter bought by your honorable
body for the treasurers office. ! have
reached the following conclusions: My
Official duties must always take pre-
cedence of personal considerations
That 1t will be impossible to properly
perform the work in my office without
such assistance and that the personal
| affront, which / still recognize. must
not be allowed to have a prejudicial
influence in tho faithful performance
of the trust given me by the people of
Utah county. will therefore accept
Of the typewriter from that standpoint
Very respectfully yours.
