Samuel Auerbaeh Wins Shit
Against County.
LONG PENDING ACTION
SEQUEL TO COUNTY FURNITURE
SCANDAL.
Commissioners Had No Right to Re
fuse Payment on the Warrant Is
sued to Andrews & Co. and By
That Firm Assigned to Auerbaehs
Judge ailes Reviews Case.

Judge Hiles yesterday gave judgment
for the plaintiff for s14.700 and interest
from Feb. Is, 1895, in the old case Of
Samuel Auerbach VS. salt Lake county,
and dismissed the counter claim for
SGT GOO on the part of the county. The
court held that inasmuch as the furEi-
ture of the city and county building had
not been returned TO the Chicago con-
tractors, but was still in the possession
of the county, that they had no legal
right to refuse payment upon any war
rants issued to cancel the outstanding
account with the company.
The action, it viii be recalled, arose
as a sequel TO the city and county
building furniture contract scandal.
During the month of June. 1894, coun-
ty warrant for $4,000 was issued by
the county commissioners TO =. II. An
drews & Co, the Chicago furnishing
firm, in part payment fer the furnI-
ture contract The same day on which
the warrant was issued Andrews & Co..
discounted the paper with T. Auerbach
& Bro. for the sum Of Sl4, 200. A few
weeks later the local firm presented
the warrant in due form TO the county
treasurer for payment. On account OF
there being insufficient funds in the
treasury at the time Of presentation,
the note was returned to Auerbach's
representative, with the Endorsement on
the back 20 that effect.
Warrant Again offered
At a later date the warrant was
again presented, with the sequel that
payment was refused on it on the
grounds that the county commissioners
had taken upon themselves the author
ity to pass a resolution issuing the war
rant without first obtaining the consent
of and consulting the probate judge,
who was associated with them in the
legal issuance Of all warrants pertain
ing to the furniture contract: that An
drews' invoice for the goods delivered
amounted to S54.979.S5. when, according
to competent judges, they were not
reasonably worth more than $4,000.
Further, that a secret agreement ex-
listed between the selectmen and the
company, wherein the former were to
receive a % per cent rake-off on the
proceeds of the contract; also that the
warrant had been issued to Andrews &
Co. before the delivery of The goods,
and that no itemized statement and
verifcation of the claim was presented
to the court for allowance as required
by law.
on being refused payment. Samuel
Auerbach, on behalf of the firm, insti-
tuted legal proceedings to recover the
sum os $4,000, the face value of the
warrant. As soon as the complaint was
filed the county filed a counter claim
for S27, Q00 which set forth that by rea-
son of the Durp0rted fraudulent con-
tracts between A II. Andrews & Co.
and the three county commissioners

rendered in favor Of plaintiff. the Sl5,-
