first to keep this country out of war.
Bringing about peace in Europe is a

FACTS ARE ELUSIVE
IN SAND PURCHASE
INQUIRY PROVES RyIMOR OF COM
BINATION BY OWNERS OF
SAND PITS is FALSE
Search Of Commissioners Minutes
Throws Little Light on Deal
With Spokane Firm

Much OF the complaint and current
criticism in regard to the administra-
tion Of the road system of Latah coun-
ty has to do with the purchase made
in April last by the present board of
county commissioners of sand and
gravel, from Spokane firm
In order that the people of Latah
county might be possessed Of all the
facts in the case and might be able to
judge for themselves (1) whether the
transaction was entirely regular; (2)
whether the sand and gravel could not
have been bought more cheaply in
Latah county; (3) and whether local
dealers in sand and gravel were given
an opportunity to bid OF the furnish
ing and delivery. of the sand, the Star
Mirror instituted an inquiry into the
whole matter-an inquiry extending
over number of weeks.
The Star-Mirror regrets that so
fragmentary are the officia. records
in the entire transaction and so vague
are the terms of the contract with the
Spokane firm that the public will find
difficulty in learning how much of
their money was thus sent to a firm
doing business in the state of Wash
ington; and still greater difficulty in
learning what the outside sand and
gravel actually cost per yard delivered
on the Latah roads. There is no ques-
tion but that the outside sand and
gravel are inferior to local product as
road material The driving public has
demonstrated that to its own salts
faction.
So far as the Mirrors search
of the situation has succeeded in
bringing facts to light those facts
are at the service Of the public They
are as follows.
Inquiries among the owners of sand
pits indicate that there is no founda-
ton in fact for the story being circu
lated today that the sand-men made
price on local sand for road improve
ment, for the sand-men were widely |
at variance with regard to what
woud be a reasonable price on gravel
delivered, at various typical places.
It was generally agreed that gravel
of a grade suitable for road topping
could be delivered in Moscow for $1.25
a yard, at reasonable profit, and as
a matter of fact John Peasely did put |
about a hundred and thirty-eight |
yards of gravel on the road connect |
ing the west Third street paving with |
the county road at the city limits for
$1.25 yard.
No sand pit owner was found who
had been given an opportunity to quote
the county a price on gravel for
the roads on which the washed
pea gravel, bought from the
Union Sand and Gravel company OF
Spokane, was used. Arnold Lyon, ac-
cording to one sand man, told him
that another sand pit owner had been
given a chance to make a price, but
Mr. Lyon did not tell what price II
any was quoted, and nothing could be
learned from the man referred to. "A
third sand pit owner said that Mr..
lyon told him that the Spokane wash
I'd gravel cost $3.50 yard on the cars
n Moscow. A search of the county
.ecords fails to reveal what the cost of
he gravel per yard really was.

eyes.
There should be a punishment for
such maternal crimes. That swag-
gering grenadier mother of the
committee meeting should have had
80 days at hard labor on a bread
