Auditor Rejects Claim
City Attorney George r. Kernaghan
announced this afternoon that he has
decided to reject the claim of Dillon &
Hubbard, bond experts, for $3.50 for
legal services in connection with the
certifying Of the municipal water
bonds. The auditor asserts that in his
opinion the facts leading up to the en-
pioyment of the experts are not clearly
understood and that the payment of
the claim is not warranted by the facts,
Dillon & Hubbard were to pass upon
the million dollar isue of bonds for the
purchase of the water plants for $500.
One-half of this amount has been paid
them and the contention is that the re-
mainder should not be paid until the
work of the experts is completed, which
Mr.. Kernaghan insists is still incom-
plete. The action Of the auditor will be
placed before the city council at its
next meeting and adds another and
unexpected complication to the present
water difficulties.
