We give County Commissioner Taylor
space this week to reply to the attacks

for the amount ofnewspaper space taken

iii MIR. Taylor's answer. The cash paid
for publishing the proceedings is very
small amount compared with the labor
of putting in type. The publishing o.
the proceedings as sort Of prestige and
as information to the public is of more
value to a newspaper than the money
paid by the county. There are nine
papers in the county and it is self evident
they cannot all have the proceedings
paid for in their columns. There is moth.
ing to hinder any from publishing them
free if they want to. That is what this
paper has always done when not favored
by the board. AS to rights, we neve,
could see that any paper had any espec
ial right to preference. 1t is almost en-
tirely matter of personal choice anc
judgment among the members of the
