Show The Herald Off Wrong:, j A few dayB since the Salt Lake Herald Her-ald found a mare's nestr or thougiiit it had, rnd like many other paplers, opened tire on it without a proper '(Understanding '(Un-derstanding of the facts. In the jfall of 1893 and winter of '94, the board of directors of the insane asylum purchased pur-chased 83000 worth of coal iromi the railways operating ia this tity, and paid for the same iu territonai warrants war-rants at their face value. I The objects were to avoid borrowing the additional money necessary therefor there-for and lo have a winter's Bupply of fuel on hand in case of trouble that might arise from soow bluckueo or any other cause. The coal waa purchased pur-chased a!. wiioleea'e rates and the transaction tran-saction wai cjus di'ied sound in policy from every p;int of observation. The former treasurer off-.-red no objection, I because there an; rcal!y no Grounds for objection or cavil of i.iy kind. j The Rio Grande Westeni in paying Its taxes in (J rand county very pro- perly used one of these warrants paid it for coal It found us way from Moab to the territorial treasurer who sends it back to Mob, on the theory that the direc ors h id no right to discount dis-count the watrote.

The board does not discount the warrants war-rants but purchaser whatever imi plies are necessary with them whenever it can. |
