Have a Right to File Bills for

in County Auto

Whether it is lawful or regular for
members of the board of supervisors
to charge the county for mileage while
riding IN the county automobile
on official trips will De decided by the
district attorneys office within the
next few days.
Until that decision is reached opinion
among the members of the board is
divided, some of the members holding
to the belief that whether they ride
in the automobiles or on trains. horse
back or in farm wagons, mileage should
be allowed, while Supervisor Alexander,
who brought about the discussion, was
as strenuous in his declaration that
the practice is wrong and should be
stopped.
The controversy began shortly after
the afternoon session opened, when
Alexander stated he wanted the dis
trict attorney present to pass on an
important matter, one concerning the
mileage of the members.
II was handed Mr.. Eldridge's de-
mand for mileage yesterday" said
Alexander, land seeing it contained
charges for trips in the highway COM
missions automobile, 1 asked District
Attorney Fredericks If this was legal
He said it was not and 1 decline to
approve the demand or any other of a
similar nature until a formal decision
has been rendered"
Patterson, Wilson and Eldridge
maintained the practise was not ille-
gal and that there were good and suffi-
cient reasons why it should continue.
Supervisor Manning agreed with Alex
ander that a decision should be made
by the district attorney.
Hartley Shaw, deputy district attor-
ney, was called upon for an opinion,
but declined to give one until an in
vestigation could be made.
District Attorney Fredericks said lat
er that when the matter was first mem
toned to him he expressed the opinion
that no charge agains. the county
should be made by supervisors using
the county automobiles, on the ground
that mileage was given to pay travel
ing expenses.
1t was however, suggested to him l 7
Shaw that the money given as mile
age might be looked upon as an in
ducement to the supervisors to travel
and do better work, and therefore
might be regarded as part of their
salaries. Upon this representation the
district attorney declined to express
any opinion until a further investiga~
ton can be made.
