EXAMINERS REPORT SHOWS COUNTY
EN VERY BAD FINANCIAL SHAPE

1880. At TINT time we called the
peoples attention to it. Most of
it went to Peter Marion, but now
Pete is dead and somebody grab
bed his sheep and everything else
he had. Pete is not going to pay
it back, I'nd those who got away
with his property are protected by
more laws, sheriffs and Judges.

we'll forget about the S1.781. 80
that somebody stole from them: it
is only drcr in the bucket and

ANYWAY.
Joe Dolin had overcharged the
county $9S.S7, and the examiner
thinks he should pay it back. But,
Joe b7sn't got the money, and if
he did have it, he wouldn't want
to pay anyway. so what are you
going to do about it?
Also $24,411.36 was spent for
poor relief the hast year. and the
examiner says "No doubt the coun-
ty is in worse financial condition
than a great many to whom relief
WIS given" In other words, the
county itself is ready for the poor
farm.
Of outstanding warrants we
have 5,506.87, and the examiner

$4,000 OBTAINED IN
THEFT MAIL SACKS
AT GRENORA WE'D.

During the night of Tuesday
and Wednesday the Grenora rail
road depot was broken into and
someone got away with the U. S.
mail sacks, estimated to contain
about $4,000.
The train arrives late at night
and all mail is locked up in the
depot until next morning.
There being no bank in Grenora,
the elevators there are buying
grain for cash, which accounts for
a considerable amount of cash
money being shipped into the
town, of which the robbers were
no doubt we'll aware and took adj

With over 100000 In unpaid
taxes we are supposed to save the
county by raising our taxes. This
is the solution given by the ex-
aminer. No wonder the man
throws up his hands in despair and
calls the conditions "deplorable."
If painting the NRA on the
court house is not going to solve
our problem, then our next sug-
gestion is, that we put the whole
county up at Sears Roebuck sale,
buv it back for a few pennies and
give it back to the people who
live here and actually do some

Water Bonds Approved
by Election Tuesday

The election here last Tuesday
did not craate a great deal of ex-
element and onlv 153 out of the
$50 registered voters took the
trouble of going to the polls.
The result of voting was as
could be expected, with 149 voting
for and only four against the
proposition of bonding the city
for $1,000 for improving the
water system by putting in new
pipes.
That there was practically nc
opposition to adding this obliga-
ton onto the city can be explained
by the fact that new pipes are
needed, that the government do
mates $4,000 to the undertaking.
and most of all, that it was pub
licly stlted. that the work is not
goirg to be let bv contract. anc
that fair wages will be paid II

Applicants, Bridges said, must
