Crooked doings over the sale of
bonds of Payette county have just
been revealed in the report made to
the governor by James Monroe, dep
uty state auditor. 1t was Munroe who
recently reported officially on the
short change trick in paying for
the bond issue in Lemhi county.
Similar methods were used In
Payette to those resorted to here last
year to put it over the taxpayers in
the actual sale of the bonds. In each
county thousands of dollars were
lost to the treasury
The revelations affecting Payette
county are published in the Boise
Statesman of Tuesday last, which
says:
How two bonding companies ap-
parently worked together and sue
ceeded in pulling the wool over the
eyes of the newly appointed Payette
county commissioners in such way
that $65, 1000 worth Of Payette fund-
ing bonds were purchased by one of
the companies at figure much less

doubt, correct, for Fred Glenn. who
