New Brunswick, Jan. 16:-Couuty
Collector David Seryiss has not yet
received the bill from A. g. Harts-
horne. the expert appointed by Justice
]. Franklin Fort over year ago to
examine into the affairs of the Board
of Freeholders, paying particular at.
tention to the county tiapcss. A psti.
tion was fled by twenty five taxpayers
asking that the financial affairs of the
county be investigated, it being
claimed that The freehoders were ex-
travagant. Prosecutor Voorhees,. who
has since died, made the presen taticn
of the petition 10 Justice Fort, who
did not appoint commission hut
named Lawyer Hartshorne, of Free
hold, az an expert, to lock into county
affairs
At the time Of the appointment the
court stated that the expense to the
county would be light and it is said
the question of settling for the work
has not yet been satisfactorily ad
iusted and that this has led to the de.
10y in the presentation of the bill.
Expert Hartshorne was at work on his
report for six months and 1t is rumored
that tbs idea of what he should have
for the work in the opinion of the
court differs from the views Of the
expert. The county collector is yet
awaiting the bill for services rendered.
As result of the investigation the
grand jury brought in a preseutment
and the expert filed a report charging
several irregularities. Soon after this
the freeholders appointed an auditer,
