~ group Oh CltlZeQS opposing
county agent work in Idaho
county and signing themselves
committee" to a letter recent
ly mailed out to the voters Of the
county have exaggerated the ex-
pense of the office to the county
and state by $1077.00
They state in the letter as well
as in the press that the total
paid by the county and state for
the purpose of covering only
eleven months Of last year, was
SAT- .29. This period begins
February II, when the agent as
sumed his duties in the county
and runs to Dec. 31st, 1922.
The actual expense or amount
paid for all purposes in the coun-
ty as taken from the records of
the clerk of the board of county
commissioners is as follows: Sal
airy and expense (including pur-
chase Of two cars, car expenses
and all other expenses) from
Feb. II to Dec. 81, is $3345.29.
The state has paid in salary, dur
ing this period $685., or a total
for state and county of $3880.29.
The county expense includes
the purchase of two cars. 1t will
be remembered by good many
that the agent was first provid-
ed with a secondhand car which
the commissioners purchased
| from Walter McAdams, of the
Main Street garage for 5000.
This car proved to be expensive,
causing a considerable outlay
for upkeep during the two
months and a half it was in use.
| At the July meeting of the board
the commissioners purchased a
new Chevrolette for 5000. This
car is in good repair, with prac-
tically new tires all around and
is Capable of going thru the
season with very slight ex-
pense for upkeep.
The committee" makes no
mention 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
: claims he could have traded the
secondhand car for $4,000
worth Of wood but had nc
authority to make such a trade
. since county property must be
advertised before sold. He con-
,, siders the car is. in good condi-
: ton as when purchased by the
board.
Granting that the new cal
J could be sold for only half its
: original cost this would leave 8
! value of about $500 in the two
cars. Besides the equity in the
two cars, there is considerable
! amount Of equipment in the of.
: flee, purchased during the past
!, year which will not have to be
replaced this year.
Deducting the present value
,, of tn cars from the tota
: amount expended by the state
! and county, we have $3380.29
the actual cost of the office tx
, the state and county, or, SLOT
: less than the amount stated by
? the mysterious committee"
/ We invite criticism of oul
: work for it makes us prove oul
!, worth. We make no claims thai
! we cannot deliver on, and all we
= ask of those opposed to this
work is the truth.

cultural Agent.
