Curtaiing County Auditors Fees.


Decatur Special.
Judge Bobo, Of the Adams Circuit Court, rem
dered decision yesterday that will tif sustained
by the Supreme Court curtail the emoluments
of the auditors Of Indiana who have charged
thousands of dollars fees each year, and compel
them to refund the amount of fees already col
lected. 7. O. Miller, auditor Of this (Adams)
county, until about year ago, charged So for
selling ditch jobs. The taxpayers of the county
demonstrated, and about one year ago Miller re-
duced the fee to 81 90 The people still claimed
that the law did not warrant him In charging
any fee for such work. that the labor so per-
formed was part of the labor to be performed
for the salary fixed by the statute
Miller brought parte suit to get con-
struction of the law to the fees to which
county auditors were entitled in ditch cases. The
decision by Judge Bobo was to the effect that the
statute provided for no special fees for such
services, and that no constructive fee could be
charged. Miller. during his four years in Office.
and his predecessors, have collected of such IL
legal fees thousands of dollars. No doubt other
auditors in the State have done the same thing.
In each and every case the fees 30 collected can
be recovered from the auditor making the
charge. if Judge Bobo's decision is sustained,
and he has had but few cases reversed in his ten
years service as judge of this circuit.
