CUT S3O OFF AUDITORS BILL
County Commissioners Refuse to Grant
Full Amount of Huston's Claim

Maintaining until the last that he
was entitled to be paid for the sixty
one days he reported at the office for
duty yet agreeing to take pay for 81
days to effect settlement of his dis
puted claim for work on the 1914 coun.
ty debt, Fred w. Huston, minority
member of the board of Dauphin coun-
ty auditors this morning accepted the
County Commissioners terms and took
what was alleged by the Commission
ers to be the balance due him, $59.
To Huston previously had been paid
an installment of 500 and mileage
charges of about 81. Oscar G. Wicker
sham, representing Huston, sought be-
fore the settlement to have the Com
missioners to agree to compromise
whereby Huston would be paid one.half
the difference between the amount of
his claim and the allowance of the
county heads based upon the County
Controllers s time book.
This the Commissioners refused to
agree to and Huston finally agreed to
sacrifice his claim for $50, representing
ten days pay, so as to effect a-.settle-
ment. Huston, his attorney said, has OBJ
tanned work out of the city and will
leave within a few days. Francis w.
Riegel's disputed claim has not yet
been adjusted.
John w. Cassel, the other member
of the audit board, has not yet collect
ed the money due him for his work ON
the 1913 audit and his counsel could
not give any information as to when
Cassel will present his bill. The other
auditors have said that Cassel did no
actual work on the 1914 audit.
