AS USUAL the cost of printing received
the annual attention at the meeting of the
Board of Freeholders ON Wednesday,
when Mr.. Tallman asked what guarantee
there was that the newspapers were max
ing proper charges for their work So
frequently is there some such inquiry
that one might infer that the printers are
not to be trusted in any transaction, yet
as fact, their bills are more uniform than
many others that are paid without muir
muir. Whoever heard members personal
bill questioned Yet we recollect Free
holder few years ago who charged for
more days than there were in the month
The bill was passed regularly signed by
committee" Last year, if we are not mis-
taken, resolution was adopted making a
uniform price per day for teams and la
borers. How many bills are made in accor-
dance with that resolution 1t is impossi-
bic to give any information gained from
open inquiry in the Board. The printers
may be dishonest and may overcharge the
county, but we do not believe there is a
single member of the fraternity who
would willingly perjure himself in sub
scribing to the oath required by the Au-
ditor.

TUESDAY, MAY II, 1898.

THAT was very pretty speech of How
ard Mathis, when he took the chair as Di-
rector of the Board of Freeholders. He
said che would be strictly impartial in his
rulings" and in less than a half hour he
had evidently forgotten his promise or
else he was entirely ignorant of parlia
mentary law for when IA tie vote was an
nounced he declined to declare the motion
on which it was cast lost. And in the af-
ternoon a motion to reconsider was offered.
The point was raised that, as there was a
tie vote, nobody could move to reconsider
as it requires one of majority to do that.
The Director Immediately ruled that any
body voting in the affirmative was com
petent to make motion to reconsider
The Director may have thought he was
strictly impartial" he may have been
ignorant of parliamentary tactics, but we
fear he was guided by partisan zeal. If
his rulings of Wednesday are to be taken
as sample it would have been more to
his credit if he had omitted that portion
of his speech in which he promised ''strict
impartiality.
