POOR BOOKKEEPING.

Relative to his inability to find out
the amount of uncollected taxes, he is
a poor bookkeeper if that does not appear
or his books. Any school boy will tell
him that the amount can be obtained by
deducting the amount collected from the
total spread on the books, minus those
abated and removed for other causes
"Mr. Johnson laments the fact that

Investments, and which cannot be
realized upon, and which, for
some unexplained reason are not inven-
toried. If l. remember Alright there is an
inventory of such in the Office at the
present date, in fact, there always has
been. AS to roads and bridges they
are responsibilities, the same as the city's
streets. not assets AS a finish to this
remarkable statement Mr.. Johnson con-
oludes by recomme ending that a committee
be appointed to take an inventory of all
the property of the county, what has
been done with the large amounts Of
money raised in the past either by taxa

handed down for the benefit of future
auditors Much of the county'S prop
erty, he says, has been lost or carried
off,
For an absurdity, this takes the cake.
Possibly Mr. Johnson means that he
has not listed that last issu-
ance of bonds, or, more likely, that his
predecessors have been dere.ict in their
duty in keeping a record of the county s
receipts and expenditures. 1t Is too abb
surd a proposition to consider seriously

JOHNSON GETS MIXED Up
COUNTY AUDITORS CARD TO THE
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS is
PECULIAR EFFUSION
SOME EXPLANATIONS ARE DUE
His Books Do Not Appear to Show
What They Should and Cit
liens Are wonder
ing Why.

County Auditor Johnson does not take
kindly to the gentle, yet forcible admon1-
ton of General Pope ito hire hall and
tell his troubles
1Aese troubles that seem to weigh
heavily on Mr.. Johnson's already bur-
dened shoulders, are in the shape of
six-inch double column bunch of woe
heading his annual financial statement
published in the official county paper 1t
does additional duty in enabling Mr..
Johnson to display what he doesn't
know.
Denuded of extensive paddmg, Mr..
Johnson's explanation In his published
card to the county commissioners, ana
incidentally to the public who have been
reading it with much amusement since
the pointed attack by General POPE, IS
his inability to penetrate the law which
requires the financial statement TO be
made by the board of county commits
sioners, when that body does not have
possession OF the books or any facilities,
with which to comply, also the mac
curacy of the same when his books fail
to show certain assets that are supposed
to be applied to the Indebtedness of Ram
sey county. Again he says there are
other assets such as real estate, bridges,
roads and investments of which, oddly,
he has no inventory, but which are valu-
able assets just the same and yet cannot
be applied to this indebtedness under
which the county labors.
Said a gentleman yesterday who held
an important position in the office prior
to the incumbency of Mr.. Johnson:
81 do not wonder at the remark made
by General Pope. Mr.. Johnson has laid
himself open to criticism of a nature
that must credit him with being either
densely ignorant or else of laboring UNI
der Authorization.
''He says he fails to see why the law
should demand of the commissioners a
statement, when that body is not in pos
session of the books or any facilities to
do the work with Mr. johnson is pos
sibly not aware that he is an ex-officio
member of that board, in fact he is
it's clerk. This statement would marx
the absurdity of the whole thing.
POSSIBLY his most absurd statement
is that the trial balances of the ledger
do not show true condition of the as
sets and liabilities of the county or other
indebtedness which may have been con-
tracted but not yet paid, and which does
not appear on the books, nor the uncol-
lected taxes due the county, which are
estimated in the neighborhood Of $l5O,O0O.
Any bookkeeper will tell him that the
trial balances should show an absolutely
true financial condition of the county.
kept, would show in detail the exact
finances of the county. Both should
tally in every respect.

s.Gone to Pieces. Z

Many citizens have been inquiring
daily why during the past ten days
the water supply Of the city has been
so filthy. The Water Commissioner
is our authority for the statement
that the trouble ii occasioned by the
necessity Of retllIing the filters. They
have not been filled for five years, and
the coke and sand Is so thoroughly
impregnated with mud that the filters
no longer serve the purpose for which
they are intended. The Water Com
missioner says that 1t will require
an expenditure OF about 800 to 1T
the filters up SO they they will again
give good service. 1t seems that the
city and every department. has like
the old lone boss shay gone to
pieces at every point, all at once.

INDEPENDENT

Telephone Companies TO be Combined
An effort is being made to combine
all the independent telephone lines in
West Virginia into one company. A
meeting at Fairmont sometime ago,
of representatives Of the different
companies was held and committee
of appraisement appointed, which is
composed of Messrs. Cunningham Of
Clarksburg, Hartley OF Fairmont, and
Jones Of Buckhannon. These gentle
men will visit al the independent tel
ephone properties and inspect them,
put value upon them, ascertain their
condition and secure other information
essential to psrfecting the combina-
ton. The value of the properties is
estimated to be 81, 600, 600. The new
company will probably be capitalized
for several times that amount.

GREAT FALLS, Mon, July "a
bet has been made in this city, due to
a controversy as to the quality OF the
bricks produced by large brick yard
here. The proprietor and contrac-
tor, himself a graduate brick mason,
got into a discussion, and as the re-
suit a bet Of $40, 900 was made. The
builder maintained that the brick
would not sustain a column of 800
feet. He is to undertake the con-
struction Of stack, and after it
reaches a height that ordinary work
men refuse to continue on the struc-
ture he will himself continue it up
until something gives way. If the
thing falls before it reaches 800 feet
he wins. Otherwise he loses. The
stack is to be six and half bricks
at the base with square one foot fue
up which the brick are to be conveyed.
The builder agrees to continue the
stack until it falls, TO be at the top
when the thing gives way, and bets an
additional S., 600 he is not hurt in the
collapse. The loser is to pay for the
brick.
