LOOKED At WRONG RECORD.


1.-THE situation in reference to fines in
criminal cases is perfectly simple" said
Deputy County Clerk Clinton L. Hare last
night, land if the reporter who started all
this newspaper talk had taken the trouble
to inquire of Mr.. Elliott or myself he
would not have fallen into his absurd blum
der.
I'VE record judgments in criminal cases
on docket just as We do costs in civil
cases Then we have an entry docket on
which notations of the payment of these
judgments are made. Whenever a judg-
ment in a criminal case is satisfied we en-
ter that fact in the entry book and do not
turn back to the judgment docket and
place it there, except in very few special
instances. Abstractors of title who keep
track of these satisfactions have always
understood our method of procedure, and,
therefore, they go direct to the entry
docket, just the reporter in question
might have done if he had thought to IN
quire of either Mr.. Elliott or myself. Had
the entry docket been inspected there
would have been big story of fines al
lowed to go uncollected.

thoroughly CONVINCED that Mayor Book

with the mayor and the board that the
streets named are in bad shape and that
repairs are necessary at once. His COM

Improvements, but 1t happens, ne said, that
just at this time circumstances have arisen

hind on it's orders and is a hard corporation

company is i'll and Mr.. MCGOWAN has had
his attention attracted by carnival bust
ness. Mayor Bookwalter gave careful at
tention to the reasons for delay and then
informed Mr.. Jones that much time had
been wasted already. He added that while
there was no wish to act arbitrarily in the
matter, yet so much time had been allowed
to go by without action that the time had
arrived to come straight to the point with
