Recorder Gillette
Replies to Tidings

Ashland, Ore, Dec. s, 1914.
To the Citizens of the City of Ash
land:
l apologize to you for appearing
in print, but being forced to resort
to old-time methods of campaigning
herewith answer the questions pro-
pounded by the Tidings.
1st. 1t was not my place to make
a report for the year 1912 as l was
not recorder for that year, and any
one familiar with work of the re-
corder's office, or with business of
similar nature, should know that
to be the case.
AS to the annual reports will state
that that provision of the charter has
been rarely compliedNwith. There is
a monthly report prepared each
month in the recorders office which
it is the duty of the finance commit
tee to check and report on. These
reports are on file in the recorders
office with the endorsement of the
finance committee thereon as to their
correctness, and the reporters for
the newspapers or the public in gen.
eral have had the opportunity and
privilege of examining said reports
at any time they SO desired. and at
the conclusion of years business the
reports for the years 1924 will be
ready for submission to the council,
and If the council in their judgment
see fit to order the same published
l will see that it is done. That is a
matter for the council to decide and
not the city recorder.
End. AS to qualifying for justice
of the peace:
When first elected as recorder
went to Jacksonville and took that
matter up with both Judges Neil and
Tou Velle and they both stated that
1t was not necessary for me to do
anything further as my election as
recorder under our charter made me
justice of the peace and no further
bond was necessary than the one
given to the City of Ashland. When
cases came before me of a nature
that required justice court ] sent
them to the regularly elected justice
as | did not care to burden the re-
corder's office with business that had
no connection with the business of
the city.
3rd. AS to fines collected:
have turned over TO the treasurer
of the city of Ashland every dollar
that has been collected in fines, keep
ing only that allowed in fees as set
forth in the Oregon statute for a
justice, which the writer in the It'd
ings must know belong to the re-
corder, and if that is not true--and
the contrary be true, as you intimate.
why do you not proceed to collect
under my bond?
4th You ask why, in defiance of
whose suggestions?-I
prepared the following statement
(see statement herewith and the
same was printed in the Tidings and
the proprietor and editor commended
said statement saying that ii was a
very creditable showing for the city
of Ashland and that 1t should be
published so that the people could
know the condition of the city's
bonded Indebtedness, showed the
statement to the members of the city
council and they made no objection
or suggestions at that time and we're
willing to have the same published.
II there was anything wrong In said
statement why did not some one dis
cover II before this time?
