THE CARBON COUNTY CAMPAIGN
Special Committee Finds That the
Reports 0l Fraud There Are Who'll
ly Without Foundation

The committee on ways and means
had under consideration this morning
H. g. lSi, appropratng funds to the
different counties for the repair and
maintenance OF roads ana bridges II
was the concensus ot opinion that such
counties as are able to help themselves
should be deprived OF the usual appro-
pratlon. the Idea being 10 reduce this
fund to minimum IN order 10 relieve
the burden upon the state. II Is pro-
posed to cit out such counties as salt
Lake, Weber, Utah, Cache, Sanpete, Sc
vler and possibly Davis thus saving
to the state from Si7,5 800 to $4,000 This.
II Is thought win help H. -. i3l, ny
Roberts an act I'm furtherance of good
roads throughout the state, and appro-
prlatlng annually the sum Of 81 600 FOR
each county IN the state, as d state
highways building fund which appro-
prlation may be cut down To- $50 II the
bin 70 passed.
SO far as appropriations are con-
cerned. the committee on ways and
means Is Inclined TO be as
liberal as possible, but the situation Is
such that certain reductions must be
made and # is safe to say that few bills
win be passed, which require an addi-
tlOnal outlay OF public funds The
committee Is composed Of Representa-
tives Merrill j. A. Anderson Austin,
Joseph Kinney, Lyman, Stewart ST.
mons and Tolton, ana Is working ener.
getically each day In the hope that the
all-important Appropriation bill may be
reported as soon as possible, lnasmuch
