LINCOLN, May Observation-Disclosures s
were certified up to the state auditor to-
day for 500 for mileage books over the
Burlington bought by Governor shallen-
berger. This makes a total of $500 which
the governor has paid for mileage books
since his induction into office, which is
going some. even for a governor.
With the same voucher there was another
for hack hire for the governor amounting
10 1880 In this latter amount were items
for a landau to the state penitentiary for
81 and a hnck to the penitentiary FOR 50.
The other items were made up OF hacks to
the Burlington station and oliver theater
and other places.
The secretary of state dislikes to sign
these vouchers, because other state officers
who have business at the penitentiary
usually ride out on the street car and
usually they use the same method to get
to the depot when they are not Iii too big
a hurry, on which occasions they walk.
