The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1911-07-25

uefeu, from JdnudTy lbt, lJlV, uDtil
June Both Of this year, we find that
Councilman Evans. Democrat heads
the list with s39e.35, for pipe Coun-
silman Griffin has drawn $liO.O5 for
material and work furnished" Coun.
Gilman Hayball has drawn si1Sl5
chiefly for gum boots, coal oil and
materials furnished at the current
market price Further on II contin-
ues: at is true that three of the five
Democratic couueilmen have either
furnished goods materials o. labor
and received in payment the sums
named" No further evidence then is
necessary. We made the charge,
quoted the law, and our contempor-
ary-sponsor for the said councilmen
confirms it give the figures. Thanks
again, neighbor.
The true meaning, and extent of the
proof submitted by our neighbor
might be interesting Let us analyse
the figures for few moments. Re.
! member they cover a period of six
months. Now these gentlemen have
| served for period of two years, Ev.
ans excepted, who has served four
years, prior to the six months period
which the figures cover. II is reason
able to suppose that the amounts fair
ly represent what they have drawn
for other periods of the same length
of time during their official career,
at least the amounts would not be
less. as during the past six months
times have been dull and it is only
reasonable to suppose expenses would
be curtailed. At this rate then, Ey-
ans would have drawn for nine six
months periods, or $3,56715. Nice lit
tie "hitem" to be pulled off the old
revolving wheel by the only dealer
in Logan in the class of pipe furnish
ed" Griffin for five periods would
have pulled down, at the same rate,
S55O.25. Neat little sum because mo
one had any objection" and our neigh.
Dor will perhaps say because no one
else could have done the work, not
withstandng the many excellent work
men in Griffin's class. Oh what would
we do without Griffin? Bless you,
Griffin do not leave us. Figuring on
drawn $59O.65 another neat little sum,
! allg of which are submitted for the
j consideration of the citizens of Lo-
gan who expect their officials to be
observers, and not violators of law
Going on our neighbor says: 1T is
equally true, also, that but one Re
publican council member, Mr.. S. o
Stevens, has sold anything to the
city, for the good and sufficient rea
son, possibly, that neither of the re
naming four deal in anything tn,
city finds it necessary to buy. The
extent OF Mr.. Stevens sales wal
$20596." Now neighbor, If you vii
be reasonable, and tell the truth yol
know Mr.. Stevens has not furnished
the city with one dollars worth o
merchandise You know that the pun
chases to which you refer were pun
chased from the Sidney Stevens In
plement company, corporation
founded and organized by Councilma
S. o. Stevens honored and respecte
y father, a company with headquarters
l at Ogden, Utah, and with a branc
l. office at Logan managered by S.
l. Stevens. Why cant you learn to te
l. the truth neighbor?
Again our neighbor's crack "fC
y the good and sufficient reason, pc
- sibly, that neither Of the remainir
four deal in anything the city fine
It necessary to buy" is amusing.
u not that lofty statement for a new
paper TO make? If they did deal
y such as the city finds II necessary
II buy" il would be alright would
+ neighbor? Why not then go into bu'
IL ness as Evans & Sons apparently di
