NOAhAuuhlGdhCus
In reference to statements made
in the Pullman papers during my
absence from town concerning a
bill for SIS for registering women
voters, | wish to say, that when
said bill was presented the fret
time, | said to the board that the
registration was not authorized by
law, and that the board had not or
dered the work done, and, conse-
quently, we could not pay the bill.
Mr.. Mckenzie took the same view
OF the matter, and nothing was done
with 1T. The last time it was pre-
sented it was attached to bill for
$54 for taking school census and
one for "a for acting as secretary
for four meetings of the board.
Now, the Tribune and the clerk
both assert that | voted to allow
the bill containing the above items,
but they are both mistaken. | did
not vote for the bill for two reasons.
First, because it carried the So
item for registering women voters;
and second, because the $54 item
for taking school census was en-
tirely out of reason, as anyone will
see from the following: In 1899
Palouse paid $1S for taking school
census; Oakesdale, $25; Colfax,
with more school children and
more territory to cover than Pull
man, paid $36. More than this, |
refused to sign the warrant carry
inf the above items, as anyone can
prove by consulting the warrant in
the hands of the county treasurer,
and stated at the time of my re-
fusal to sign said warrant that any
tax payer could stop payment of
the warrant. / did, however, sign
all other warrants ordered drawn
at that meeting.
The records show that bill for
80 cts. for publishing notices that
the registration books were open
was allowed on July II to the Trib-
une Publishing Co., the first meet
ing at which Mr.. Windus was pres
ent The above item was q part of
a bill extending from March 81,
1899, to May 81, 1900. On June
II the clerks bill for registering
voters was rejected, and the repeal
ing statute read. On July II the
clerk O. K'd the Tribune's bill,
we'll knowing that it was unauth-
orized. Appearing as it did, with
other items it missed my attention,
although at previous meeting |
had refused the clerks bill, and was
watching for some such job.
Anyone who will give the law a
casual reading will see that the
clerks authority in matters of
elections, and of registering voters,
(before the law for registering vot-
ers for school elections was re-
pealed) came directly from the
statute, and not from the beard of
directors, consequently the mem-
bers of the board can in no way be
held responsible for the clerks ig-
norance of the law. In proof of
this | wish to cite the general regis
tration law. Further, the board
never instructed the clerk to reg
lister any voters, as is shown by the
minutes now in the possession of
Clerk L. b. Miller, and which are
always open to be read by the
public. o. L. WALLER.

Progressive Neighbor.
Trouble is likely TO arise over the
boundary line between the opera block
building and the ground recently pur-
chased by E. X. Hoge. Mr.. Hoge
thinks the opera block Is set four feet
on his recently purchased estate. which
Is accounted for in this manner: The
amount OF ground fronting on Hanover
street as called for in the deed Of the
ground upon which the opera block is
now located. Is 6S feet west from the
west side Of the alley between Third
and Fourth streets The opera block, as
claimed by Mr.. Hoge. Is 6S feet In length,
not including four foot stairway on the
east side of the building, thus taking up
72 feet Of ground west Of the alley line,
or four feet more than their deed calls
for, while the opera block people claim
their building. Including the stairway, Is
GS feet In length. and sits four feet in
the alley, and as the alley and Hanover
streets are moi at right angles their
building Is exactly on the line at Hanoi
yer street, and four inches back on
their own ground at the rear, thus CIV
Ing Mr.. Hoge slight advantage. A
survey OF the boundary line of the alley,
together with the disputed line between
the two pieces OF property will be made
to-day by Engineer Lash. If the claim
of Mr.. Hoge Is found TO be correct,
which the opera house people gay Is net
