GREEN WON'T PAY
THAT $4,000

The contract with Stephens slip.
ulates that he shall pay all ex-
penses with the $4,000, but what
expense Stephens went to will prob
ably not be known unless the coun-
ty commissioners insist upon an
itemized account.
1t was understood at the time
that the $4,000 county appropriation
was needed as a part OF the rate
fight fund. The contract with the
attorney was resorted to when it
was found that an open appropria-
ton could not be made.
Secretary Monroe, of the cham
Der of commerce, engineered the
arrangement with the assistance OF
the prosecuting attorney.
1t was simply a subterfuge
through which that much county
money was to be used in paying
the expenses of collecting and pre-
senting evidence. The theory OF
the deal was that the people of the
county would benefit by any reduc-
ton in rates secured and were
therefore interested as common
wealth.
But the law plainly prohibits such
use of county funds and it is not
believed the contract plan will
work. The $4,000 is made payable
to Stephens for individual services
rendered. AS the hearing occupied
but three days and the county did
not apear in it as an active COM
plainant, the fee Is considered fat
one. There is general surmise
that big fraction of the sum
would have been applied to ex-
penses incurred by the chamber OF
commerce in preparing for the hear
long before the county appropria-
ton was mentioned.

The appointees will serve FIVE

add $1,000 year to the treasury.
