In glancing over some of the itemized ac- counts we find that the Herald-Re- view is credited with having received money that it did not receive and never expects to receive. Why these candidates should unnecessarily falst- fy mm theit reports is one of the things that we are unable to understand. I. D.. Rassmussen, chairman of the Republican county committee, certifled that no money was received by the committee and that $18 was expended, fifteen ot which was paid to tie Grand Rapids band and $3 for postage. Frank F. Price, secretary of the Democratic committee has not yet filed a report, but he informed the Herald- Review that the total expendi- tures would foot up to about $240 of which amount $100 had been paid into the cominittee by candidates. Emil Litchke, treasurer for the Public Ownership party of the county, reported a total expenditure of $51, with no deficit in the treasury. tii itemized statement gives the names of all contributors and the purposes for which the fitty-one doltars -was ex- -| pended. His accounts balance exactly. County Auditor-elect M, A, Spang reports. the: expenditure of $189. This amount was use for filing fees printing, traveling expenses, etc £. A. Arnold states that he went to the bad $52 in his efforts to be elect- ed county auditor on the Republican ticket. L'wenty-five dollars of this amount was invested in printing, twenty-dollars filing fees and eight dollars for boosters at the polls. County ‘I'reasurer C. C. Miller ac- knowledges what he spent $246.50. ‘The items enumerated in his debtor column imcelude filing fees, printing, publishing anouncement cards, travel- ing expenses, livery hire, etc. A. A, Kremer, Republican candi- date for the office of county treasurer, reports that he spent $121.50. ‘This amount is charged up te tiling tees, printing, publishing cards, traveling and livery hire. E. J. McGowan, Republican, regist- erot deeds elect, departed with $203.- 40 says his report. ‘Inejschedule filed includes the usual items that come within the limit of the law. Register of Deeds A. B. Clair had not filed Is report end we are un- able to give the amcunt of money it cost him to be defeated. Sheriff Wm, Hoolihan got off easy. His report shows a total of $35 ex- pended. which included filing tees and contribution to the county committee, Clerk of Court I. D. Rassmussen was re-elected without opposition at a total cost of $20. ‘This amount was nec- the ticket. George H. Spear claims that he only spent $141.30, including primary election expenses. He gives a list of miscellaneous expenditures such as are considered legiumate. Coroner ‘Thomas_* Russell got off with a deposit of $20-with the county auditor, He had no opposition. It \cost Judge of Prohate Huson $98 50 to be re-elected. Joe McMahon, Democratic candi- date for the office of judge of probate, spent $50 according to the schedule nied m the auditor’s office. Superintendent of Schools Hattie F. Booth was re-elected without un- necessary expenses, as her report on file shows that the $20 filing tees Mrs, Booth had no opposition. : John Lefevre, Public Ownership candidate for the legislature; expend- ed a total of $98.80. Aad A,*Tone, elected cs an in- dependent candidate to the office of county commissioner 1n district No. 1 filed his expense account at 62.00. A. D.

Vance, Republican candi- 4 Expence Accounts of the Several County | essary as filing fees to get his name on | | date for the same office in’ the same district, repotrs his loss at $50. D. C. McDougall, independent, same office, some district, no report. Morris O’Brien, elected as an in- dependent candidate in district No, a Teports a total expenditure of $40.00. Archie McWilliams, Republican candidate for commissioner in the Third district, has not yet reported, Neil Mulhns, Democrat, commis- sioner-elect for the First district, ex pended $24. V. H. Blood, Republican candi- date in districe No. 1, has not filed, but his expenditures were limited to the filing fee of $20. John A. Brown who. was the suc- cessful candidate tor the office of couuty surveyor, and Angus McIntosh, who was defeated for the same office, have not yet reported. The penalty for failure to comply with the law requiring statements of expenditures by candidates to be filed with the county auditor is not more than $1000 or imprisonment in the county jail not to exceed six months, It would be a good idea for the-de- linquents to report on or before Tuesday next FLAMES DESTROY BUILDING. The Senate Saloon Building of Grant & Halloran Is Gutted by Flames. | On Monday evening between 5 and 6 o'clock fire was discovered in the second story of the -building accupied by Grant & Halloran as a saloon and restaurant. An alarm was turned in and the department responded with remarkable speed. ‘The fire had al- ready gained a good start and for a time it appeared that the fiames would not yield to the streams of wat- er that were turned on the building. ‘The firemen worked heroically and it was due to their splendid efforts that the. ‘two adjoining buildings were saved without a dollar loss. As it was the Grant & Halloran building is al- most a total joss, although the walls remain standing. ‘The Joss on build- ing, fixtures and stock will aggregate about $4,000, with insurance of $1,- 500 with the F. P. Sheldon agency. Messrs Grant & Hallosnn will vegin the ezection uf a new building as soon as the loss is adjusted. ‘They had just completed ~~ extensive -repairs ~ ori the interior of the buitding The res- taurant was conducted by Peter Meil. : Looking for Pointers. Hon. A. L. Cole of ,Cass «1 presentative in the state leg ture for this district, was in Grand Rapids this week and interviewed many of our leading citizens for the purpose of getting the public sentiment with reference to legislation relating to drainage and public roads. Of course. Mr. Cole is aware that the people of this district are unanimous in the demand for state aid vo build roads and drain the vast tracts of swamp land that lie within Itasca, Beltrami, Cass aud other counties of this sec- tion of the state. But what he desires 1s to obtain an intilligent understand- ing of the situation in harmony with the ideas of the citizens generally that he may the more effectually pres- ent the needs oi his constituents. It is evidently Mr. Cole’s intention to frame and present a bill tbat will bring some relief to the people of this part of the state in the matter of roads and drainage. The Commissioners Meeting. The board of county commissioners met Jast Monday and remained in session until ‘Tuesday evening. The consideration of a large budget of bills occupied the attention of the board for a considerable portion of the time, Attorney Spear submitted a written communication to the board in which he advised them that they could not legally allow any bills pre- sented for the payment of work dune by C. E. Seelye on the county road this side of Deer River. He holds that the road is not legally laid out and the contract entered into between the Giuwissioners and Mr. Seelye is not binding on the county. The commis- sioners took no actien in the matter aod while Mr. Seelye has done con- sidirable work on the road he is sever- al hundred dollars out of pocket. What the outcome of the controversy will be is difficult to predict. A hearing was ordered ona petition for a road in Swan River township, and action was taken with a view to putting in the bridge that formerly spanned the Mississippi river at the foot of Leland avenue in Grand Raps ids across the thoroughfare on the Blockwater road. ‘The meeting was adjourned to De- eember 6th. The Ewworth league has secured the Rev. Fr. G! T. Nagle for De- cember 15 at Village hail. THE DECEMBER TERM District Court Will Convene in Grand Rapids on Tuesday of Next Week.
