the two and a half months it was i'm
use. At the July meeting, the board
purchased a new Chevrolet for 5000.
This car is in good repair, with prac-
tically new tires all around, and is
capable of going through the season
with very slight expense for upkeep.
The committee" makes no mer
ton of the fact that these two cars
are still the property of the county,
and there is still considerable equity
in them, but would have the people
believe that this total amount of
money, which they name, had been ex-
pended and there was nothing left to
show for it. Mr.. McAdams states that
he could have traded the SECONDHAND
car for $3.50 worth of wood. but had no
authority to make such a trade, since
county property must be advertised be-
fore sold. He considers the car is in
as good condition as when purchased
by the board. Granting that the
new car could be sold for only half its
original cost, this would leave value
OF about 5000 in the two cars. Besides
the equity in the two cars, there is,
amount of equipment in
the office purchased during the last
year, which will not have to be replac- |
ed this year.
Deducting the present value of the |
,ars from the total amount expended |
~ state and county, we have $33S0.29,
he actual cost of the office to the
itate and county, or SLOT less than
he amount stated by the committee"

GRAYSON CLAIMS
EXPENSE REPORT.

Editors nOte-The following com
municatiOn has been received for pub
LEGATION from Carl NJ. Grayson, county
agricultural agent, in reply to cOmmun-
icatiOns sent by taxpayers committee
to the voters of Idaho county, and also
in reply to a paid advertisement in
serted in the Free Press by the
committee last week.
A group Of citizens opposing county
agent work in Idaho county and sign
ing themselves committee" TO a letter
recently mailed out to the voters of
the county have exaggerated the eX-
pense of the office to the county by
$1077.00.
They state in the letter, as well as in
the press, that the total amount paid
by the county and state for the purpose
of covering only eleven months Of last
year was $445729. This period begins
February II, when the agent assumed
his duties in the county, and runs to
December 81, 1922.
The actual expense or amount paid
for all purposes i'm the county, as taken
from the records Of the clerk of the
board of county commissioners, is as
follows: Salary and expense (including
purchase of two cars, car expense and
all other expense). from February II, !
to December 81, 1923. is $3345.29. The |
state has paid in salary during this
period S535, or n total for state and |
county of $3SS0.29.
The county expense includes the pur-
chase Of two cars. 1t will be remem-
bered by a good many that the agent
was first provided with a secondhand
car which the commissioners purchas-
ed from Walter McAdams, of the Main
Street garage, for 5000 This car
proved to be expensive and caused
considerable outlay for upkeep during
