TIE county commissioners have
promptly appealed from the judgment OF
the auditors against them and asked for
an issue, and there should be no occasion

tors being appealed from, who is to
represent the county, plaintiff, in the
issue The county solicitor is not the
proper person, obviously, as 1t was upon

counsel to take charge of a case against
themselves, individually. The auditors
function and authority end with the
filing % their report. Who, then, is tc
appear for and take charge of the
lcounty's interests ?

genoe in the care Of the citys money:
When Church was first appointed 81
