for his services the committee could
not see for what the extra bill was
for.
Even tho holding over members who
had been regularly allowing the bill
could not tell why it was allowed ex,
cept that IL was customary.
Clerk of the Peace Blggs was called
in and asked in reference to the bill,
but the only explanation he could give
about 1t was, that he had received the
bill about three weeks ago, and after
looking over the minutes of previous
Levy Courts, he found that the Dill
had always been allowed to ex-Stute
| auditors.
Ex-Deputy Clerk of tho Peace Albert
G. Osborne, who happened to be In the
room, WAS asked as to his recollection
OF the bill, OF why it has been allowed.
| Mr.. Osborne could give no other
reason for allowing it than that it was
customary. He supposed though
That it was for services rendered In
auditing the accounts OF magistrates
and constables in this county, and he
said he believed it was allowed In the
other counties.
The committee, however, did not soc
any necessity to pass the bill until
they knew something about the
services rendered and whether they
were 'sulh extra services MS the Law
recognized. Unless the committee can
