Moreover, we don't deal with gangsters."

Without county aid the project would have lagged and work on other projects would have suffered. These figures, all of which have played an important part in relief activities in Natrona county, do not take into account approximately $13,000 a year paid out in old age pensions as provided by state law.

There was an expenditure this year also for drought relief to ranch men and farmers amounting to $661, and finances for organizing and carrying on the work of the Casper-Alcova Irrigation district, Important to the welfare of the project, called for $2,667 more. The county met the emergency raised by prospective dam construction at Alcova by building a modern new highway around the reservoir, the most Important piece of road work done In the last two years. All thk has been accomplished, it is noted by those familiar with the situation, without serious impair ment of county finances, due to business methods of administration and the sound position in which fi nances were placed a few years ago when all certificates of Indebtedness were liquidated and a "cash basis es tablished. Under other conditons heavy obligations would have been Incurred, resulting: in a bond issue to meet relief and other needs. All members of the board have functioned efficiently to make such results possible, and as chairman, Commissioner William Mclntyre has devoted long hours to the achievement, both day and night.

Relief activities alone have engaged practically all of what might be regarded as spare time, including Sundays and holidays. As a result, Natrona county will be prepared to continue relief activities on a substantial scale in con nection with any governmental aid that may be forthcoming. The county will ax be In a favored position in this respect. -Interesting -News -Always -On -The -Classified -Pago Charles (Pretty Boy) Floyd, left, notorious Oklahoma bandit who was shot to death yesterday by a squadron cf federal agents led by Melvin Purvis, right, in a corn field near East Liverpool, Ohio.

Expenditures for roads and bridges during the same period which made passible much relief employment, amounted to $226,666.

This expense embraced both maintenance" and new construction work. Health expenses for the same time aggregated $22553, much cf which can be charged to the relief emerg- encv. County activities in this branch of public service have extended to both individual and hospital attention, although the latter is charged to the poor and pauper fund.
