At the republican precinct in the city hall last night, emphasis was placed fact that tho southern end county should be repesented held primary, Tuesday on the of Utah on the board of county commissioners, to succeed Joseph Reece, whose aerm expires in January, and the Payson precinct delegation will go into the eoun-tconvention at American Fork on September 15 prepared to make a fight for that representation. Thus far only the name of Braxton Barnett of this city has come into prominence as a candidate for the office of county commissioner, and it is probable that tho delegation will bo solid for his candidacy before the convention. To the people of the southern end of the coonty, representation on tke board of county commissioners is highly essential because of pressing need of completion of the road from Payson to the Juab county line. It was impressed by Don Page, chairman of the precinct central committee, that unless quick action ia takes, tke county will not be able to participate in federal aid la buildup tke rood. If construction of tke road is ordered within reasonable time, tke govern ment will aid to the extent of 74 per cent of the eost, leaving only 2d per cont to be paid by the eouaty, aad like according to present eetimatjee cost to the county would be only about (60,000, Juab county has done her "part toward giving the traveling public a paved highway having brought it up to the county line, and it behooves Utah eouaty to complete the work. Th8 northern end of the county, and the central part as well, has all the paved roads for which it has contended, and it is the right of tU southern end to have its share. To secure this equality the southern ond must bo represented on the board. Tho importance of the coming election is therefore apparent. At the primary last Tuesday night the following delegates and alternates were chosen: Delegates. Don Page, Charles H. White, Karl F. Keeler, Dave Shuler, Frank Coombe, Braxton Barnett, B. A. Porter, John H. Cowan, John H. Dixon, Samuel E. Taylor, Emil Houser, Dav Bigler, Laban Harding, Dr. L. N. Ellsworth, Jasper F. Hill, W. P. Morcford, Asa Hancoek, Dr. J. H. Ellsworth, Mrs. Don Page, Lee R. Taylor, Henry Smith, W. E. Ellsworth and Mrs. L. N. Ellsworth. Alternates. Mrs. Henry Jeppson, Henry Jeppson, Owen Barnett, Melvin Wilson, Mrs. Melvin Wilson, William Madson, Sid Coray, W. H. Shermer, Mrs. P. C. Wightman, Ray Monsoii, P. C. Wightman and Clifford Bale. Tho primary also nominated W. P. for Dowdle, the prosent ineumbent, the position of precinct, constable, leaving the office of precinct justice of the peace. Don Page and Karl F.

Tharo ia n lew,... on the statute books rcqpiuuqi beards of county commissioners nid aeheei boards to publish annual financial reports and it waa brought out during the diaeuaatorra that there ia aeueety a county or school (list rial .in the detailed report state that publishes of expeudituree aa required by the tow. J g lelrtfiihl In some counties the county clerk has submitted a summary of axpcneas without going into detail, which do not meet with the requirements ef the law. There is n supreme oourt decision that the financial rtatemente ef counties and of boards ef adaption must be published in full nnd it was , the unanimous opinion ef the aaaoeto-tio- n that some effort should be exerted to bring about enforce meat ef the tow. It was shown that while the cipcaec of publishing the reports may be considerable, the raving ia preventing lavish and unnecessary expense by the boards, because of publicity, will compensate several times over. It waa considered quite certain, for instance that the indigent list on the eoeitlee would be materially reduced if pub-- . licity were given to those who are receiving aid from the eouaty, nnd that-otheexpenses which are now covered bulk kead, would be up under cither eliminated or curtailed, thus bringing about an enormous raving of public funds. It ia not for the purpose of reaping revenue from the counties and sehdol boards that the newspaper are demanding that reports of expenditures be published in full ia the newspatp pers, but solely os a protection the puMie. If some of those now o tho indigent list, for instance, knew that their names would bo published as receiving aid from the county, it is quite certain that the list would be reduced at least fifty peresnt The saving thus affected would more than compensate for the publishing of the entire report. Colton Bill not intimated that . While it I there is any lavish or unnecessary expenditures of money by the school Upon boards, it ia considered but just that the people should know exactly where the money goes, and by fulfilling tke requirements of tke tow, by publisha complete statement of finance, ing to information received According is the only means by which this can A.
