Refuses to Pay S25 Extra for Canvass
ing Election Returns

Several members Of the city council
are furious at the action of Auditor
Reiser In refusing to pay each council
man $2j for his individual work as n
member Of the canvasslng committee.
which revised the returns Of the recent
city election and which at the council
meeting next after the completion Of
the canvass they appropriated to them
selves for their trouble The indignant
city fathers protested that the auditor
Is acting without any precedent. The
auditor says he fortifes himself with
the advice Of the city attorney, and in
trenches himself behind an ordinance
passed In 1897, and still in force, which
he declares fixes the salaries Of coun-
cilmen at $40 a year, which amount
shall be In full for all official services"
The auditor, regards the work OF can
vassing election returns as an official
service, and as the councilmen have al
ready received their salaries OF S35 a
month for November, be seems to re-
gard the extra $25 as a kind Of Christ
mas.
Some Of the more determined kickers
demanded 10 know why Reiser paid the
members OF the watcrworks committee
extra compensation for their work as q
board Of equalization Of water taxes
To this the auditor replies that the
amount was comparatively Insignia
cant but that he has still a string on It
any way, for being in doubt as to It's
legality at the time he paid over the
money with the proyiso that If any
question was raised as to It's legality
the money should be returned.
