Mr. Boston wanted to know how
much il would cost the County, and
the indignant County Treasurer flip

would know when they got the bill.
MIR Boston said that the County

Mr.. Holloway were being paid for
doing the very work that additional
help was being employed to do. OF
course, Mr. Hastings stood by his
pets and the Hastings phonograph.
The Taxpayers have confidence in
