ELECTION OFFICERS MONEY,
A Hitch on the Question of Making
Out the Vouchers.

Mr.. John r. West, chairman Of the
Committee on Elections, states.-that he
viii call that body together again when
he receives Information from the Audi
Tor that the vouchers are ready. The
committee met to approve the bills on
Thursday night upon call of the chair
man.
A hitch was encountered at the very
outset. however, for the vouchers had not
been made out. and there was al once
an inquiry as 10 why they weresnot iorth-
coming. The explanation given was mat
the auditor had declined TO make them
out on the ground that It was not his
duty so 10 do. although he has been doing
the same for many years past
Mr.. Warren's claim was that tins WORK
should be done by tho clerk to commit
ices Mr.. 4. II. Mcdowell An eXamina-
lion Of the law on the subject. however
failed to substantiate this claim, and the
CITY Attorney. being called upon, looked
into the matter and rendered verbal
opinion that the auditor should make
ont the vouchers.
The papers. which he had turned over
10 Mr. Mcdowell. were accordingly tax
en- back TO Mr.. Warren with the above
Information.
Mr. Warren when asked about the
matter. said that the Election Commits
sioners had only passed upon the mat
ter Thursday morning, and that the time
had been too short before the meeting
of the committee for the vouchers to be
made ont
The trouble, said Mr.. Warren, was tnat
the chairman OF the Elections Committee
had called that body together without
first ascertaining whether the vouchers
were ready or not
Mr.. Warren had nothing 10 say as 20
whose duty IL was to perform the work.
There was no indisposition on the part
Of the clerk Of committees 70 make OUT
the vouchers If the law provides that he
should do so. he merely wished 20 have
the matter settled so that there might be
no trouble in the future.
