The Chehalis county controversy centers on Auditor Sells and the fusion administration. The Vidette’s front page attack is countered by defenders who say expenses and indebtedness rose under the fusion rule, while post 18 months show better service and fewer officials.
A legislative letter argues the county’s total indebtedness rose from June 1896 to December 1897 by a small margin, counters a misread “about $14,000” figure, and credits the fusion party with reducing county debt by about $12,000 after taking power in 1896. It cites specific warrants and offsets to explain the debt changes.
Board orders include securing a correct deed description from Geo Woods to Chehalis county. Licenses granted for Graham & Kaufman after $300 paid and bond filed. Road survey petition approved with viewers appointed. Various tax corrections and rebates granted or rejected. Recesses, janitor appointment, and fund transfers recorded with staff and amounts listed.
The board agrees to let the South Bay bridge contract to the Columbia Bridge Co once the right of way is secured. Various salaries, incidentals, and funds are itemized including institute funds, veteran relief, road and bridge expenses, and bridge construction costs. Names such as John D Bennett and others appear among payrolls and allowances.
An advertisement extols Ayers Hair Vigor as a remedy for brittle dry hair that falls out with combing. It claims to heal scalp troubles, restore faded or gray hair to its natural color, and leave hair silky with lasting fragrance for even the poorest head.
