The heaviest thunderstorm that has

STEPHEN POTTER'S SERVICES

He Claims SOL 90 as StenograDher
for the Railway Commissioners.
At the last meeting of the State Board
of Examiners considerable discussion en-
sued when the claim of Stephen Potter
for SOIL 20 for services as stenographer
for the Board of Railroad Commissioners
was taken up. The character of the serv-
ices rendered was the reporting in short
hand of the investigation for the purpose
of adjusting freights and fares.
When the claim came up for action
Secretary OF State Brown and Attorney
General Fitzgerald, who were the only
members of the board present at that
time, were in doubt as to the legality of
the claim. They were of the opinion that
ii Mr.. Potter was elected by the Railroad
Com missioners as the official stenog-
rapher Of that board, he should not re-
ceive more than the amount of money
appropriated for such work, 500.
Secretary ley was instructed to
ascertain Mr.. Potters status in the Board
OF Railroad Observation-Disclosures he
was duly elected by the board. or whether
he was employed for the time being.
