Attunsy for Opinion.
DISPUTE WHETHER THREE OR SIX DOLLARS
Hitchcock stde-steps Request to RE-
turn Money Obtained from
County on Advertising At
Rates He Protested.

The Board OF County Commissioners in
special session Saturday morning allowed
a contract for repairing the boilers at the
court house, listened to a communication
from Gilbert NJ. Hitchcock regarding the
resolution recently adopted asking him to
put It back and then passed up the pay
ment of the judges and clerks of the recent
primary election until an opinion could be
secured from the county attorney whether
those who served in South Omaha should
be paid IS or 50 a day. The item for the
judges and clerks amounted to s1,175. with
the bill for printing yet to be filed. In
Omaha the clerks and judges have always
been allowed So a day and the question
has been raised whether this amount should
be paid those who served in South Omaha
The bill filed, however. called for 50 a day
for all who served outside of Omaha.
Hitchcock side-steps.
Mr.. Hitchcock OF the World Herald side
stepped the proposition of the board for
him to repay to the county some $780,
which, it is claimed, he secured by over
charging for a second publication of the
scavenger tax list. by asking the board to
request that the county attorney be in
structed to proceed against The Bee along
the same lines. In his communication Mr..
Hitchcock said:
Permit me to call your attention to the
fact that you last month paid to the
Omaha Bee bill of 1924 for advertising
at the same rate that you paid to the
World-Herald, and that you have failed to
instruct the county attorney to proceed
against The Bee to recover back any part
of it. II the county attorney needs any
urging to proceed against the World
Herald he certainly needs a great deal
more to Induce him to proceed against The
Bee, and IL would seem to me the part of
fairness to treat both papers alike. as 1
assume your board does not care to make
fish Of one and fowl Of another.
