A DISPUTE.
The same committe reported back
in favor of allowing L. G. Hardy $1,000
for the collection of special taxes.
Varian objected to adopting the re-
port, as he understood that the appli-
cant is not square with the territory.
In fact, it is openly said that he is
holding back $4,000 or $4,000 and no
settlement is vet in sight
Sears said he had heard rumors of
this, had investigated it and under
stood that settlement had been made.
Narian thought no claim should have
been presented if the use of the money
! mad been had for several months.
WINS thought there are other ways
of collecting from the delinquent Off
| Ger if he is still delinquent. He thought
a settlement mad been made, and if it
had not Hardy's bondsmen are good.
Varian thought if anything were due
{ it would be well to hold back what
ever might prove an Offset.
Hubbard moved to adopt the report
of the committee, and Varian in speak
ing to the motion said that it is cues
ton of public notoriety that Hardy
has not settled with the county and
territory and the public officers nave
been endeavoring to make a settle
ment If the money had been kept
longer than it was lawful there should
be an understanding that the use of
the money was an offset to any claim.

some debate this was the order fol-
lowed.
