Upon looking into the origin of the matter I find In the minutes of the board of county commissioners, of Jhelr meeting Monday, August 14, 1902, the following: . Minutes of a meeting of the board of county commissioners of Weber county, Utah, held on Monday, August 4, 1902, at 10 oclock a. m., in the session room of the board In the county court house at Ogden City, Utah, the county seat of said county. Present: Joseph Stanford, Lyman Skeen, county commlnaioners; C. R. Hollingsworth, county clerk. A quorum present, Chairman Stanford presiding. Commissioner Stanford orally stated "That In entering upon our duties In January, 1901, It waa deemed advisable by this boaVd, aa the state legislature waa then In session, to appoint a committee on legislation. This committee prepared amendments to certain lawa affecting the Interests of the taxpayers of Weber county especially, some of which were passed by the legislature, while others failed to paae It, and the cause of failure waa attributed to the fact that the session Shortest and best line to Bullfrog and Nevadas was so far advanced before the bills prepared were Introduced that there mineral belt via the Las Vegas & Tonopah R.

R., Salt Lake City, Utah between I per cent and I per cent on 140,000, or 1,200 per annum, of $100 per month, and I would therefore recommend to the board that at this 'time a special committee on legislation be appointed to take under consideration what remedial legislation Is needed, to prepare amendments and formulate bills to be presented to the state legislature, which meets In January next. The advantage In thus early appointing such committee would be to give it ample time In order to thoroughly consider and prepare the work end have the matter ready for presentation to the legislature shortly after It convenes The recommendation of Commissioner Stanford was adopted, and it t was thereupon ordered that Chairman Stanford and C. R Hollingsworth, county clerk be appointed aa auch committee. If any legal opinion was asked by the above named commissioners It was from my predecessor In office. The following Is an extract from the minutes of the commissioners meeting of April , 1901: The special committee on legislation appointed on August 4, 1902, to ttake under consideration what remedial legislation was needed to the laws , affecting counties and their government, and1 to prepare such amendments as might Jbe deemed advisable on and to have them presented to the state legislature, presented Its report "The report was read and considered, TRICES: - ' 10c, 20c, and 30c and on motion of Commissioner Powers waa approved and ordered filed.

I will my in till, connection' that the law muke. It the duty of the county attorney, when claim, by commlwlon-er- s are presented to him, 4o Indorse thereon 111 writing hi. opinion hi. opinion aa to the legality thereof. I presume that all that 1. required of the county attorney In that behalf la to pas. uioii the question aa to whether or not the claim I. one for which the county Is in law required to pay. Ae to bill, for expenses of transportation for commissioner!, the law allow, each member to be paid the amount of hi. actual traveling expense. In attending to regular and special session, of the board, and In the discharge of necessary committee work not to exceed three hundred dollars each annually. Therefore If the amount of such bills do not exceed three hundred dollars per annum they are a legal charge against the county. The law places tin power, of a county in the hand, of the board of county commissioner, to lie exercised, and one of these is "to manage and dispose of Its property) a. the interests of Its Inhabitants may require," and to do and perform all other acts and things required ly law which may be necessary to the full discharge of the duties of the board. Among tho Items of what are county charges are the expenses necessarily Incontingent curred for the use and benefit of the county. Every other sum directed by law to be raised for any county under the direction of the board of county commissioners are declared be a county charge. It will thus be seen that the powers and discretion conferred upon the board of county commissioners Is very broad and comprehensive. It would be the height of presumption on the part of a county attorney to presume to control the action of officers vested with such large powers except It would be purely In a matter of law. Ae for any neglect of duty on my part, my record will speak for Itself, with the aid of the officers of the rlty and county. By the criminal actions Instituted by me there have been sent to the state prison mors criminals from Weber county, not only than In any other county In the state, but In one year more than all the other counties of the state combined; and this county has been kept free from expensive litigation of all kinds. The only suit of any Importance instituted In the name of the county waa won by the county and the amount recovered field Into the county treasury. It will be seen that the appointment of a legislative committee was made during the lncumbertncy of the complainants father. 1 am not at all criticising adversely the action of the board, for I am Informed that it resulted In benefit to the county and the saving of money to Its treasury. I am not prepared to say, as a matter of law, that a board clothed with the large powers of the county commissioners has not the authority to Incur a reasonable expense to present facts to the legislature to obtain legislation of benefit to their county. As to th statement made in the paper that these efforts were directed towards the procurement of the enaqfmeifi of the law relating to the care of the poor, the law is aimed to the benefit of and bears against tbe county. I caa state the board of county commissioners was not In favor of the enactment of the law. As to the statement that Weber county Is the only county having a poor commissioner, the law Itself shows to the contrary, and any one at all versed n constitutional law ought to know that a special law of that kind would be void, as the legislature Is prohibited from enacting any special law for the government of any particular county, and that the law, in .order to be valid, most he uniform, In so far at least as applying to counties or municipalities of the same class. Prom my observation, based Won nearly four years' experience, I am able to state that the county commissioners of Weber county have given its citlsens a wise, economical, conservative and businesslike administration of affairs. As to myself, the law has placed in the hands of the county attorney con- pur-IKMt- ee munl-clpaltl- es 6E0RGIANS TAKE INTER-STA- . DUDS BACK HOME THOUSANDS BACK OF ON MELON ARE THEM GROUND.

If my fellow-cltlseare of the opinion that I have used them properly, and that prosecutions have been Instituted solely for the public good, and never to gratify the malice of any one, I certainly shall be highly pleased. It It has not been my good fortune to meet with that approval, I shall endeavor to bear It with resignation. I1 possibly might say some other things bearing on the matter, but as the court will have to pass upon It, I think this is all that is necessary at the present time. ns Can You Catch Our Message?
