to the effect that as it was so much
trouble to audit the bills of three pa
pers it was deemed best to publish
the legal notices in only one paper
is shown by the action last night
to have been pure buncombe. The
Freeman Tribune made it possible to
save the taxpayers half Of the cost
of publication and at the same time
relieve the auditing committee of
the very arduous task of auditing
more than one bill, but the council
prefers to pay double and put the
great labor of auditing twice as
many bills for printing upon its ov-
erworked and sorely oppressed audit
ing committee. Out Of commisera-
ton for that committee the Free
regrets exceedingly
this action. Our aim was to save the
committee and at the same time save
the taxpayers, but the council has
seen fit to reject our philanthropic
and humanitarian propositions and
the hard working auditing commit
tee will have to keep plodding along
as in the past.
Nothing was done by the council
in relation to the matter of submit
ting job work to competition nor to
the proposition of the Freeman-Trib-
une to publish council proceedings.
Possibly these things will be consid-
cred later. 1t is to be hoped so.
