The bond election viii be- held in

point to the fact that the heaviest
vote in many years will be- polled.
This is accounted for through the
fact that the matter IL oi such vital
importance 10 the citizenship OF the
city and great interest Is being taken
In the outcome OF the election. The
bond issue Is being discussed In the
homes. ON the streets and In public
places. Il IS the all absorbing topic
OF conversation Many leading cli.
zons camo out openly for the issuance
OF bonds and tomorrow they will take
or their coats ami work like beavers
in the Interest OF the proposed issue.
1t Is gratifying to learn that In every
city where the candidates favored ad.
dltlonal municipal improvements they
were elected by handsome majority
which will insure the Improvements as
contemplated. The candidates who
were against these improvements
state that their defeat was due to
their stand on the issuance of bonds.
Ardmorc will have the opportunity
OF improving it's own condition. To-
morrow will be the physiological
day for action and it Is generally be
lieved that the people will vote for
the issue which means additional i'm.
provemcnts and greater Ardmore.
on the streets today there was n
great deal Of discussion on the sub.

In oxplaln.Lg what the Issuance OF

Of tho laboring class is In favor OF

Especial to the News,
ogden Dec. lO.--The county commits
sloners this morning, among other bus
mess transacted heard communica-
ton from the county auditor wherein
he refused TO audit the claims of Com
mlssloners Wilson and Stanford for ex-
penses during the month Of October;
also for the claim OF Joseph Stanford
for $50 as oyerseer OF the poor. A COM
munication was also read from County
Attorney Hulaniskl, wherein he claimed
that the claims against the county were
legal, but that the ltem!zation OF the
expenses claims might be improved
In keeping with the SUGGESTIONS OF the
county auditor.
Commissioner Wilson expressed his
willingness to make his claim more ex-
plict. But he stated that he had sub
mitted for years his claim In very much
the same way. Former Commissioner
Stanford refused to ra-itemize his
claims, stating that for six years he
had submitted his claims in a similar
manner and that they had always been
bly, the last time he would have Oeca-
sion to present a bill 10 Weber county
for his services, that the county attor-
ney had placed his signature to the bill
and under no circumstances would he
re-itemlze the bill Of SIS, and give his
services 10 the county rather than re-
itemize the bill. II Is believed that
unless the commissioners take some
action on this matter at n future meet
ing, the claim will never be paid.
Concerning his claim ~ $50 ms over
seer OF the poor. after ding commune
cations from the count attorney and At
torney General Bryeden, Mr.. Stanford
claimed the county had the right to APP
point him 10 that position, and the
