details. its members woud not now be mortified by fl d in 2 they contracted to pay eight times what the town will now dishurse for the service.
 We are all here in Nogales to live. We have brought here our families, our capital and our facul- ties. The welfare of the town of Nogales and Santa Cruz county is the welfare of all. If by any mis- take the board Of supervisors pay too much for anything used, the cost falls upon the taxpayers and we all suffer To each individual it may be but little, but the county suffers in more ways than one if taxation is excessive. f. by any error the town board makes the same sort of mistake the effect is the same. And the town board can go still further. By precipitating trouble with the insurance com panies 1t can add a heavy burden in exorbitant pre- miums; or by causing withdrawal of all insurance it can paralyze the credit of every business man in Nogales. THE OASIS will credit every citizen and every business man with the same motive of de- sire for the best interests of the town and county. But to get along and have those interests conserved we must all concede that the other fellow is actuated by the same motive. And when he says that a proposed public expenditure is ex- cessive, stop and investigate. He may be correct, as was THE OASIS in the matter of the record books ill 1899. Nothing is gained by bull ing it through as was that matter. In fact there is always loss in the end to those who do so. When the true state of the case becomes known, and 1t always does, those who have been in the wrong always suffer in prestige and standing, and they become subjected to the sus- picion of their fellow men or the imputation of incompetence.

HASTE DOES NOT PAY.

Two weeks ago the Border Vidette printed the official report of the ex- pert appointed by the board of sup ervisors (Mr. R. D. George to in- vestigate the business affairs of Santa Cruz county. By request of many taxpayers that report is re- produced in these columns this week. MT. George reports that ex-Sherif Broderick is actually short ill his accounts S47.e5, and that there is further probable shortage of S2o5.oo, (maney people allege they paidBrodrick for ganb- ling licenses, etc but for which they can show no receipts) But the language of the experts report is surely significant. He asserts that he lis of the opinion that there was an understanding between parties subject to pay license and ex-Sheriff Brodrick," And, further, "there is no doubt in my (the ex- pert's) mind that if parties did not fear discriminating themselves, sui hcient proof might be obtained to show much larger deficiency in Brodrick's accounts"
 But it is where the expert touches upon the purchase of record books, account books and other stationery by the county, that his report becomes really interesting. He charges boldly that the county paid $237. 36 for record books more than it could have bought them for from other parties. That is what THE OASIS asserted at the time the bill was paid viz: that the county paid the McNeil Company nearly sixteen dollars each for books which they could have bought from Heer- mans for $Io.5o The county ad- vertised for bids and in accordance with that advertisement bids were submitted, opened and read. Then the bids were laid one side and the matter passed over. Within a few weeks the highest bidder-the H. H. McNeil Co.-supplied the books and was paid the price they bid Today the expert reports that he cannot find those bids among the archives of the county, and that the minutes of the board show that four bids were opened by the board on April 2oth, 1899, but the min utes do not show the prices bid. Now that was wrong. It was the duty of the clerk of the board to spread upon the record the details of each and every bid, and to pre-
The oasis., 1901-08-10
serve the bids themselves.

these two matters-the sheriff s office and the office of the clerk of the board-ought to be borne in
 mind hereafter by the people. None
 but competent and honest men
 should be entrusted with public
 office.
 In this connection it is not amiss
 to say here that there has been too
 much carelessness in public office
 in this vicinity anyway. Only week

 flashed up contract made by the town board in 1898, by which the town was bound to pay SS.25 per hydrant per month for fire service, and the number of
 hydrants was to be determined by the insurance companies. Now
 suppose the contract had been held valid and the insurance companies wonld have demanded fifty hydrants -or plugs. The town would have
 had to pay s4,S5o per annum-an amount exceeding the entire num- icipal revenue. And the contract was for a period of five years. It is maintained by some that the con- tract was invalid. But it would have taken a three years law suit to determine that, and the insurance companies would have exacted the amount involved, or more, in a raise on premiums-or have killed of business by withdrawing all in- surance and shutting off credit. That the contract was excessive is evidenced by the fact that the water company has made a new contract for five years at fifty dol lars per month, with the town hay ing the right and privilege to put in as many plugs as it wants-ffty or more. When that contract was  made the Chenoweths owned the water works. Had THE OASIS then been aware of that contract and declared it excessive, the cry would have been raised that it was lone of Birds lies" just as the same cry was made when this paper alleged that an excessive price had been paid for the record books and when it alleged that there was in the custom house.
 Mayor Overton explains that the water contract was entered into at time when the town was exposed to real danger from a lack of water, and that it was given hurriedly. | As it is no serious results have en- sued. The water company have been unready until now to carry out tbeir part of the contract. But the point here made is that con tracts of importance so vital should not be made until after careful de- liberation and the widest publicity, | and consultation upon the details of the proposition with those of the widest experience in such matters For instance, had the board of sup .rvisors listened to THE OASIS in
