Untie and Della Will Get Advertising county commissioners. One measure, House BUI- No. 84, ought to have the endorsement of the taxpayers of the state. It calls for the puoUcatlon of proceedings of meetings of boards of county commissioners. There is nothing like the light of publicity to guide the actions of public officials, to Inspire them to and guard against extravagance nd to do only those ,BTorlttam thlng8 whlch toey wlll honeUy lieve will receive the endorsement of the people. Publicity is a remedy for many public Ills, and while publicity may cost something. It would prove Justifiable, and a profitable investment In eliminating much official wrong. The county's business Is of vital Importance to every taxpayer, and yet it Is transacted In many counties In this state with the taxpayers In complete Ignorance of what is going instances without number might be cited to prove that the majority of taxpayers have absolutely no Information of the way their money Is being spent. Only within a year or two, several splendid bridge contracts were let without full compliance with the law of the Btate of Utah upon such matters; or, at least. If a compliance was had, It was such a compliance as evaded much of the spirit of the law, if not the actual letter. There hare been instances In which certain contractors, In the building of roads, have been favored, and it has been made possible through such favoritism for the contractor to reap an undue profit from work but poorly done. There have been other Instances In which one portion of a county has suffered because of favoritism for another portion, and money which should have been more equally distributed has brought forth unfavorable comment. I Dance o Deltas commercial club members have expressed - b. Allreds Concert Band, Eureka new musical organization, will give a dance at the pavilion on the evening of February 16th and from all reports It will be liberally patronized. The band made its first appearance during the political campaign of last faU- and was well received. Since that time the members have been faithfully practicing, under the leadership of O. A. Allred, and the band is now playing splen-'o- a. didly. A lot of late band music has been purchased and this expense as well as the heavy burden of securing new instruments and paying for their own musical training has all been taken care of by the members, who are now In need of uniforms. The dance receipts will be turned over to the fund which' must be raised for the new uniforms. Business men, mining men and In fact everyone in the city ought to be sufficiently Interested in the movement to make the dance a great success. It ought to be possible to sell 600 tickets. Mine Rescue Car a willingness to with the newly organized Tintio Commercial Club, according to an article which appeared in the last issue of the Delta Chronicle. The Delta business men say that they want to get better acquainted with the people in Utahs greatest mining district and when our nqw club gets well under way a bunch of boosters from Delta will visit us and help in outlining an advertising campaign which will attract much attention to both Tintic and Delta. The commercial club at the latter place has been doing a lot of good work, the members have been working together long enough to become familiar with the duties which organization and Tintic naturally fall to an will bo exceptionally fortunate if it has the cooperation and friendship of such a splendid lot of boosters. The new auto road through the Tintic Valley will place the mining camps of our district within close touch with the big tract of fanning land at Delta we will have a better chance to visit our enterprising neighbors on the south and they will naturally stop over here while en route to the central and northern parts of the state. Eureka and Delta business men can work hand in hand with a view to attracting travel in this direction.
