King county tax payers paid $4,852 per mile, or | $7.35 per yard, for spreading gravel with a lot of new! |and expensive machinery. Yet it is common knowl- edge that the same work can be done, and has been done, and is now being done by King county, outside of Hamilton's district, with ordinary teams and wagons, at a cost of not exceeding $900 per mile! In two years King county was robbed, through the medium of this expensive machinery and these traction engines, of approximately $50,000. The people paid out 750 per cent more than it would have cost a private person to do the same work. * * RH The — invest ig ators find Ito purche } i and i | i it re n that district.
