he PAYS COUNTY
R. l.. Thomas Sends Check to
the Treasury.
Clerk of Court Says Audit
Shows Money Due.

Richard L. Thomas. clerk of the dis
trict court, today sent to the county
treasury his check for s3,146.77,
which with 500 previously paid,
shows the amount due the county
from his office according to the fig
ures of his recent audit. The basis of
payment was determined from de-
ciSion rendered by Thomas attorneys
concerning the fees which the county
shall receive from the clerks office
The money was paid into the county
treasurer's office and receipt given.
AS vet the special accountants employ
ed by the county to audit Thomas Of
flee have not finished their job. No
advance notices are given as to the
exact day when their report will be
filed. 1t may tally with Thomas fig
ures and it may not.
1t is also possible that the county
board will decide that the basis for
division of the clerks fees is differ
ent from that determined by Thomas
lawyers. In such event it is possible
that a friendly suit will be filed by
the county to reach decision
In 1907, the records in Thomas Of
flee show that nothing was due the
county from the fees of his office In
1908, the county's share OF the fees
amounted to $1,059-2S; the next year
to $S4O53 and in 1910 to S1,704.90.
while in 1911. the county was entitled
to s206.06 from the earnings of the
job.
