OF retaining his position.
Auditor Buhrer ordered Christian

he declined to do SO.
Auditor Forbes Robertson, who vot-
ed against the dismissal Of Christian
sen. told The Times, Monday, that the
matter was a closed incident. SO far as
he was concerned.
T voted against dismissing Chris

was not satisfied that there was suffi-

Buhrer said that Christensen should
be discharged because he didn't speak

were alleged ta have voted to con-
tipue the robbery.
