REGISTERS FEE FROM
STATE IS HIS OWN
So Special Auditor Boyd Decides
in Filing Report With Court
For 1914

The question of whether the COM
county register of wills for the collec-
ton of collateral inheritance tax
should be included in the registers
excess fees and therefore shared on a
flfty-ffty basis with the county, is
once more decided against the county
by Attorney William B. Boyd, special
auditor of the accounts OF the pro-
thonotary, recorder of deeds and reg
lister of wills, in presenting his audit
for 1914 this morning to the Dauphin
county court for confirmation. The
report was ordered filed.
On several previous occasions the
same problem was raised, usually by
the State or the county, When Reg
lister Roy {. Danner submitted his
report for 1914, his books showed
collections of inheritance tax amount
ing to $1s,09416 for which he receiv-
ed per cent. commission, totaling
$954.7S. Mr.. Boyd declares that this
emolument is the registers own en-
tirely in as much as he is employed
by the State for this purpose and that
the compensation therefore cannot be
considered a part of the excess fees of
the office.
In addition to settling that point
the special auditor pays a special trib-
ute to the efficient manner in which
Prothonotary Harry F. Holler, Record
er of Deeds Oscar G. Wickersham and
Register of Wills Roy G. Danner con-
Quoted their offices. Your auditor"
cites the report, desires to commend
the prothonotery, recorder and regis
ter, their deputies and clerks for the
high state of efficiency existing in each
of these offices for the manner in which
the work is expedited, and for the
careful and accurate system of ac-
officers deserving of commendation
but the people of the county from a
financial point of view, are fortunate
to have faithful and efficient servants
filing the several offices.
Reports of the Officers
The reports of the various officers
show the following:
Prothonotary Harry F. Holler, fees
received, $13,164.23; salary, $4,000;
office expenses, $1,S9s.4S; solicitor,
800; advertising liquor licenses, 81,
227.30, leaving total excess fees of S.
1868. On the fifty-fifty division basis
the county and Prothonotary Holler
each net s4,46s.47.
Recorder Oscar G.. Wickersham, fees
received, S15,S94.67; salary, $4,000;
Office expenses, $3.50, leaving excess
fees of s7,469.67 which on the fifty
fifty basis give the county and record
er each $3,734.SS.
Register of Wills Danner, fees re-
ceived, s4.221.S7; salary. $4,000; ad-
lvertising, solicitors fee and deputy
! salary. $1,000: total $S,513.06, which
leaves excess fees of $70S.Sl, of which
the county and the register each net
$354.41.

To the Baptist women of the State OF

you. that we feel very keenly the mis-

But. since the mill never grinds with
water that Is passed, we will forgot
those things are passed, and press for

God in Christ Jesus. Since the organi-
cation of the General Missionary Bap-
tist State Association at Mt. Vernon,
Illinois, October 1914 it has been my
pleasure to travel from one end of the
state to other, and we find that the wo-
men of our Baptist Zion are getting
their eyes open to the fact, that We

Great preparation is being made for
that great coming meeting next May,
at Csntralia Illinois. We are looking
for our Baptist women from the North,
from the West and from the East. our
