THE COUNTY ATDITOR's RE
PORT

The report OF accounts against the coun-
ty, allowed by Auditor Weed, is published
officially in another column. The follow
ing bill OF County Attorney Taylor, for e1-
ira services rendered, was rejected by the
Auditor and hence has not appeared in his
published reports. 1t is spread upon the
records, however, in the Auditors Office.
and we have taken copy Of it as a matter
Of public interest There is no man in the
county that We should rather see prosper
than County Attorney Taylor, but it mus,
be admitted that in the matter OF "extras'
he has made his bill rather steep
Twenty dollars day and expenses, in sd-
di,ion to the liberal salary of the Office, i.
little too much, in these times, even for 8
lawyer.
As the bill has been the subject Of con,
siderable comment, we give copy OF i,
here in full, jast as it appears upon the
Auditors books, aggregating little ovel
three thousand and two hundred dollar,
for extra services during eighteen months
Ii compromising our bonds is going TO pil,
up expenses for extras" at this rate, il
would have been cheaper for us to hay,
paid the bonds at par:
