Irregularities Charged.

Leadville.-State Public Examiner
II. J. Leddy having found irregulari-
ties in the accounts OF some of the Of
ficers OF Lake county. will probably
institute suits to recover the money
alleged to have been wrongfully used
or to criminal prosecution where such
a step is possible.
In some cases the Irregularities, Il
IL alleged. were caused by the ignor-
ance Of the law and in other cases
they are set down as pure graft.
Leddy says that for the past ten
years the clerk of the Board OF Coun.
ty Commissioners has been paid
salary of e1.400 per annum. Attorney
General Benjamin Griffith has rem
dered an opinion to the effect that.
according to the statutes, the clerk
should receive IS = day for every
meeting held. II a meeting was held
every day in the year. 1t would mean
that he would be entitled to only
Sl.s35 a year. In that case there Is
bursements to the clerk during the
ten years. Leddy alleges that the
board has never held more than.
twelve meetings . month and aggre-
Gately there is owing the county some
thing like $4,000.
In the sheriff's office Leddy claims
to have found the most fragrant of the
irregularities. During the year 1909
he found that the county commission
ers had paid for the following sxpen-
ditures of the sheriff: kilograms.
Sl6l. hack hire Al ara. railroad fare
1852; sleeper. 3102; and during the
year 1910. telegrama. $9s: hack hire,
$3.50, and carfare, 3178.
Leddy alleges that not only were
these bills excessive. but that there 10
not a single receipt on file with the
county commissioners for the moneys
paid to the sheriff for the sxpendi-
lures.

and urged Congress to amend at this

cisions OF the United States Supreme
Court. President Taft believes that
unless the law Ia amended forthwith
