This department was directly under Morgan's manage- ment by action of Hall and Scott in appointing him. This department cost the taxpayers for the year 1924, $85,806.05, And it may be truthfull id that for reckless ex penditure, inefficient management, gross extravagance and thinly veiled graft no other county activity could equal it. It is almost inconceivable to the agination how this total could ever have been reached with any degree of dili- gence in the: public interest and any honesty with the tax- payers’ money. The department run itself, to all appearances. Morgan is not a business man. He is a dentist and if he is no better dentist than he is business man, Ml help his patients.
