DIR. Boynton, Gen. Garfeld's cousin and
friend has filed his bill for attendance upon
the late president during his last illness.
He is much more modest in his demands
than any of the rest, only asking the trif1ing
sum of s., 5o0-over $4,000 less than the bill
of DIR. Bliss, and over $500 smaller than
that of the nurse, Mrs. DR.. Edison, who has
filed bill for $4,000: He furnishes no
specifications or bill of particulars, but sim
ply files a claim in bulk with the board of
audit. Nothing has been done with reference
to settlement of these claims by the board,
from the fact that Judge Lawrence has
been absent most at the summer, and after G
few days rest from campaign work has
again left the city.
