earned and accounted for by him during
his term of office"
The report concludes as follows;
In view of all the facts your committee
do not believe that the demand OF hues>
ing for a refusal of the amount OF ices
earned and reported by him for tn at KIND
of service is made in good faith and
would recommend that the committee on
settlement be directed to call on MIR.
Huesing and demand from him the sum
of $57 80 with full power to settle the
same by suit or otherwise.

every dollar that was COnClusively |
shown due from him Supervisor Smith
raised objection and the request was not
compiled with.
Chairman Campbell then called Super~
visor Gordon to the chair and took the
floor and in emphatic tones denounced

had figured in the investigation of Mr..
Housings accounts as sheriff. who had

member of the committee on settlement
and had passed through the trying or
deal of attempting to effect a settlement
with Mr.. Huesing, and who, when en-
deavoring to secure the County's dues,
had been confronted by Mr.. Huesing with
the injunction, sue and be id; that
man who had passed through all this as
Supervisor Wilson had, would get up
such resolution. Chairman Campbell
