$50 the referees fees. The referee then demanded
an additional allowance. because the property had
sold for more than $4,000. under Section 5297 OF the
Code The plaintiff refused to make any extra COM
pensation. and the referee moved for an order to
that effect. The case was argued before Judge
McAdam last Monday. In his decision he says
THE referee is not entitled. under Section 3.2s7
OF the Code TO additional compensa ton a sale
of real estate foreclosure unless he has actually
received and Is accountable for $4,000 or more in
cash. The plaintiff waived the payment OF the 10
