Editor East Oregontan:
notice that DR.. Best is once more
doing some strong talking about
what he is going to do on the water
board and how ne is going to "block
reckless expenditures Of the peoples
money" have not observed any
"reckless" expenditures by that board
of which I am a member and no such
expenditures are contemplated.
II DR.. Best has had any objections
TO bills that have been paid by the
water board. why has ne never made
such objections at meetings Of the
board and explained his reasons FOR
objecting. THE RECORDS OF THE
WATER BOARD MEETINGS FOR
THE. PAST FOUR OR y, FIVE
/, MONTHS SHOW THAT DIR. BEST
HAS VOTED TO PAY ALL BILLS
THAT HAVE BEEN INCURRED
AND KNOW PERSONALLY THAT
DIR. BEST HAS NEVER ONCE Or
JECTED TO A SINGLE BILL WHEN
THE TINE CAME TO PAY THE

THE BILLS. HE VOTED TO PAY

OF A. B. COOLEY, ABOUT WHICH
HE HAS .sPoUTED so MUCH.
At the meeting early In December
fully expected Dr. Best to raise some
objections to bills that were passed
on then. At that time we paid bills
for the month of November, amount
ing to over $4,000. Included In this
amount were the bills for the services
of Mr.. Kelsey and Mr.. Elliot. Also
a bill from Mr.. Carter for conducting
the condemnation suits for the board
WHEN THE MOTION TO PAY
THESE BILLS WAS MADE DIR.
BEST SECONDED THAT MOTION
I WAS ASTONTSHED AT THIS AND
SAID TO DIR. BEST:
"DO YOU MEAN TO SECONI
ALL OF THESE BILLS?

So It will be seen that when DR.
Best had an opportunity to raise any
valid objection he might have had
to these bills he declined to make
any objection whatever.
