Jasper County Democrat, Volume 6, Number 26, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 3 October 1903 — THE DEMOCRAT WAS RIGHT. [ARTICLE]

THE DEMOCRAT WAS RIGHT.

Trustee Bellows informs us the item published last week regarding the amount allowed by the commissioners for constructing approaches to the Hunt bridge was in error, the appropriation was £250 instead of §2OO as published. He has let the contract for this work to D. T. Cresse for $243.50. —Remington Press. And yet the item referred to, which was copied by the Press from The Democrat, was correct. The appropriation made by the county council was 1250, but the amount specified by the commissioners that it must not exceed, was. S2OO, as will be seen by referring to Road Record No. 6, page 138, and the latter amount must be abided by. Mr. Bellows no doubt, was of the opinion that the amount specified by the commissioners was the full amount of the appropriation, instead of SSO less.
