THE GRAND JURY'S FEES.
The Appropriation Has Run Out and
Some of the Members Will Have
to Wait for Their Pay.

to Wait for Their Pay.
Auditor Broderick was summoned be-
fore the Grand Jury yesterday on its own
collective and individual behalf The
Auditor has found himself at the end OF
the appropriation for jury and witness
fees. with some $1,000 demands in his
hands unsatisfied. The appropriation
made at the beginning of the fiscal year
was S45O0. and upon that sum the Auditor
has signed warrants to the amount OF
S4498. There being no warrant Tor the
even 50 the Auditor sopped there, ana
sent the batch OF warrants, amounting 10
$500 back whence they came. Among the
lot were a number from members of the
Grand Jury and that body became nerv-
Gus about the result, and so summoned
the Auditor before them to learn what 1t
meant.
That official explained the situation, but
advised the gentlemen not to worry, as
their fees could, in his opinion. be OBJ
tanned from the funds of next year, as be-
ing within the salary list. If the money
10 pay them were taken out of any other
fund, he explained. it would simply be
taking it from some other fellow who
might not be able TO recover it in the
same way. He advised them 10 secure
the opinion of City and County Attorney
Creswell on the matter.
