J. Reid, -- went to Salt Lake City Tuesday to confer with the governor's committee "relative to the securing of the second appropriation of $25,000 for emergency relief in this community. The other members of the committee accompanying Commissioner Reid were W. E. Fleetwood, Mrs. Alice Maxwell, W. W. Christensen, George M. Miller, Dr. C. R. Fahring, Rolla E. West, Glen D. Reese and Father William A. Ruel. This committee was the outcome of a meeting held in the county commissioners room Monday evening and attended by both the incumbent commissioners, the commissioners-elec- t, various city and county officials from Price, Helper, Castle Gate and other points in the county. There were also present members of the Carbon county relief committee, the local Red Cross and representatives of the press. The meeting was called by Walter E. Knox, chairman of the county commissioners, to discuss what should be done about a letter whirh had been received from T. L. Holman, chairman of the governors committee on relief, stating that the request by Carbon county for an advance of $10,000 on the next appropriation scheduled for this county had been denied. This letter also indicated that unless more effort was made to comply with the rigid requirements set up by the executive committee relative to the handling of these funds in the county, no more money would be available for this community. Mr. Knox and several other speakers pointed out the seriousness of the situation and stated that there are more than 1000 people in this county who would be actually suffering next month unless more of this relief money were available. They also said that if this county does not get any more relief money from the state, the taxpayers will have to pay $25,000 to take care of destitute families. The committee returned Wednesday afternoon, very much encouraged, with the definite assurance that Carbon county would receive $10,000 relief money this week, and there is strong possibility that the other $15,-0will be forthcoming shortly. There was quite a spirited discussion at the meeting held here Monday evening with the commissioners room packed to capacity. It developed that complaints had been made by certain individuals in this community regarding the manner in which the relief funds had been handled. The complaints, however, were proven to be absolutely unwarranted and without due acquaintance with facts, having been prompted, apparently, by petty discords that should have no place in an emergency such as this when suffering humanity is pleading. The meeting voted the commissioners and the Carbon county relief committee complete confidence in the manner in which they have been carrying on and the meeting ended amicably. This has been a tremendous task, one which was shouldered by the county commissioners as there was no other agency to handle it, and one which is thankless to say the least. There were no precedents to follow and minor mistakes were inevitable but these were all of the head and not of the heart, it was explained. The entire administrative expense was paid by the county and is not taken from the relief funds. It is true there has to be some administrative expense in the handling of approximately $1000 a day but every cent of the funds received from the state has been expended in the relief of distress. -- . 00 Decree Unfavorable To Carbon Coalmen The Carbon county coal companies, which have paid taxes on their supposed holdings for 21 years, only to find at the end of that period that the property belonged to the United States, cannot obtain a refund of the back taxes, according to a supreme court decision issued Monday. Judge Nephi Bates of the Sixth district, sitting for Chief Justice J. W. Cherry, wrote the opinion. All of the justices agreed in the ruling. The Pleasant Valley Coal company brought the action, which involved eeims for about $5000 in back taxes. However, several other coal companies are in similar positions, it Is understood, and the amount involved is a large one. |
