ton to support his views against tho

ed machine, he could get one for
Trent for sl75 ls-s.
Moore Supports Trent.

County an Office for the Treasurer
without any charge; he made use Of
his private stenographer for the Coun-
TVS benefit. without charge to the
County. Mr.. Trent had tried the 1915
and the 5000 machine and he had found
the Burroughs to be the better. Moore
thought Trent should not be turned
down on the first request he ever
made. He would not ask for the adder
unless 1t was really necessary.

faced his remarks with the declaration

Trent Wants Resolutions.
A letter from Trent called for appro-
priations to cover certain warrants pro-
