HEARING ON STONE
APPEAL rs HELD IN
THE DISTRICT COURT

Caldwell, Nov. S0.-In the district
court yesterday afternoon, the appeal
Of Alfred Il. Stone, as taxpayer Of
Canyon county, from an order of the
county commissioners of Canyon coun-
ty allowing payment in excess Of $1,000
for legal assistance to County Attorney
H. A. Griffiths in the foreclosure of AZ
delinquent tax cases two months ago
was heard. Mr.. Stone. who has since
the filing of his complaint been elect
ed county attorney to succeed Mr..
Grffiths, and Miss Caroline Adams, of
this city, who was recently employed
in the office of the county attorney
Of Elmore county, were the only wit
pesses introduced in behalf of the COM
plainant.
The evidence of Miss Adams was to
the effect that as a clerk to the coun-
ty attorney of Elmore county, she as
sisted in preparing $50 tax foreclosure
cases similar to the AZ cases prepared
by Mr.. Griffiths with the assistance
Of several lawyers, and that they
were prepared in 80 days by the county
attorney of Elmore county and herself.
Some of the attorneys employed by
Mr.. Griffiths to assist him in the prep
aration of the cases testified that as
long as two and three days were con-
sumed in the preparation of a single
case. Mr.. Stone contends that the
statutes do not provide for the en-
ployment of additional legal assistance
by the county attorney and that their
employment was in violation of law
Arguments will be made in the cases
at an early date.
