The Nugget was unable to secure a summary of all the items of expense enumerated by the company today. members of the com mittee to whom application was made refused to allow the reporter to take copy on the ground that the matter was not of interest to the general pub lie, It was stated, however that there was nothing wrong with the bill" and also that the committee is satisfied that the charges made are in no way eXorbitant."

The total of the bill is ua- derstood to be something over $900, a large portion being for gasoline and other supplies furnished by the con- pany,
