$1,000 for the second year. al desire
TO call attention." Mr.. Williams
went on 10 say, ''to the objection
fled to the Chief Justice sitting in
this part Of the Case
Judge Zane-There Is no need to
call attention TO It.
Mr.. wIlliams-I merely desired to
remark that -
Judge Zaue-There Is no neces-
sity for any remarks ON that sub
ject.
Mr.. Williams sat down.
Mr.. Varian objected TO the amount
Of compensation asked for by the
receiver, as the amount OF labor per-
formed did not warrant Il. For the
first year he had received SO, 900.
AS very little, practically moth
ing, had been done the past
year, a merely nominal sum
would be sufficient. The total col
lections during the year were SiS,-
SIS. IS, and the disbursements S26,-
$3.50. This was in relation 10
rents, etc. He has had all necessary
clerical assistance, which has been |
paid for out Of the general fund. In
everything that had been done, the |
court had directed him specifically. |
There was no occasion for n demand |
for such large sum.
Mr.. Williams again urged that the
labor aud responsibility as receiver
justified the claim Of $500 per
month. He thought II wrong in
principle to "Jew" the receiver
down to the lowest possible figure.
1t should not be n mean and meagre
pittance, but a fair compensation,
that should be allowed.
Mr.. Varian asked that IL a month
ly allowance was made, 1t be from |
the first Of the receiveHhip, on
which Mr.. Dyer had already re-
ceived on account $40, 200.
The matter was taken under All.
