Instead, disappointed Democrats began to squabble within The pi was the family . but there bigger than ever still Just werent enough pieces to go around. There was a prolonged tussle to appoint a new member to the Salt Lake City Commission and then the county's governing body underwent the same bitter Struggle. Appointments at this level anger more people than they please. At the same time, Just to fan the flames, the two remaincounty commissioners ing were longtime political enand at stake were emies important department assignments and real power. When people get mad, they and the peonke talking talk this time were oner In a position to know a thing or two. How valid are the allegations? Between the black and white at rumor and rebuttal, there Is that vast gray area. Although taxpayers can argue that It makes little difference whether a fool squanders their money or a thief steals It, Investigator must now separate misconduct from simple errors in judgement -- or just plain inefficiency. During the past 60 days, telephone calls to the Review have produced a long list of alleged betrayal of the public trust. While were waiting for an official report, heres a partial list of rumors with the explanation of the people involved: WHEN LAWMEN QUARREL belligerent Democratic faction which supported Sheriffs deputy Pete Riywird in his bid (or both city and county commission posts has been outspoken in its criticism of the present regime.

EXPLANATION: Other county lawmen say Mr. Hayward Is a publicity seeker and a poor He'a been a administrator. distracting element in the department, they say, and is unanimously unpopular with his superiors. They clt a newspaper article several months ago which Mr. Hayward had claimed solved a large number of burglaries when a Salt Lake man was apprehended.

SAVE CASH-LOS- E MONEY The Deseret News split the melon cleanly recently with Steve Hale's expose of a county lease deal which cost taxpayers $44,000 for use of an $18,000 piece of roead paving equipment. Later, it turned up costly rental of trucks with similar waste of tax dollars. EXPLANATION: At the time, C. W. Brady, Jr., who was the commissioner responsible for the deal, said the comity couldnt afford to buy the equipment at the time and savings in materials were considerable. It's tough, be said, to know all the facts about every transaction in a multi -- million dollar operation. A former employee of the county purchasing department elaborated. Let's face it, the county roads and bridges department used to be allpol-itici- s. He 6ays many purchases for that department didnt clear through the county purchasing Now, however, department. arrangements are being com- to have a Seted of the purchasing de-p- ar ment stationed at roads and bridges headquarters to handle all buying. About truck leasing, the same individual admitted that frequently the department did not plan in advance. It had to buy hurriedly and consequently paid axtra. batteries trial basis.
