OF GRAFT-PROBING BILLS
Auditors and Supervisors Agree
That Money Be Taken From
Contingent Fund

county auditors, Tuesday morning,
and passed a resolution to the effect
that all bills presented by Prosecutor
Shepherd for ordinary and extraor.
dinary" expenses should be paid from
the contingent fund. The latter now
contains only about $4,000, and II Is
planned TO take care OF any overdraft
by using surpluses which may be
available from other accounts at the
end OF the year.
The action was taken as a result
OF County Auditor Buhrer's objection
10 the use OF the reserve fund OF $685.
coo for the payment OF the prose-
cutor's bills in connection with the
aldermanlc investigation. Mr.. Buhrer
contended that the reserve fund was
for the purpose of paying salaries ana
other regular expenses. and Aid. Yer
nor, chairman of the ways and means
committee, bore out his contention In
the Tuesday morning meeting.
Auditor Buhrer said that the prose
cutor had agreed to give a satisfac-
tory explanation for all bills present
ed, which would insure the payment
of all his accounts. When Auditors
Robertson and Oakman voted to give
the prosecutor $4,000 from the re-
serve fund. some weeks ago, the pros
ecutor declined to stipulate how the
money was to be used. but explained
that he would give a detailed state
ment OF all the payments at the close
OF the investigation.

Gently Illuminated against what he
termed as the 'immodest female fash
IONS" has threatened TO expel from the
church hobble skirted and 'peeka-

sent a prelate to warn a woman who
was dressed conspicuously in a peek

resume the service until she had left
the church. The woman Immediately
expostulated sand pointed out to the
prelate that the paintings adorning
the church represented nude angels

not convince the prelate and he in
sisted that the lady leave the church.
However, she donned a shawl which
was near her In the pew and this COM
