Every case against dog owners for
failure TO pay taxes, not already dis

because Of the holding OF receipts by

In the view of these lawyers grand
juries have no inquisitorial powers I'M
less conferred by statute and TO make
the case stronger the act itself, they
state, provides for indictments for
failure TO conform to its provisions
Thus in the opinion Of the lawyers

the delay in securing the services of

mended that one be appointed for

it is remembered that there are ap-

$40 a mile If it had been distributed on
mileage basis At the present cost

go far.
Expenses and salaries of the three
commissioners for the entire year
amounted to $1,679,34. This means
that each commissioner during the
year was paid in expenses and salary
about $3.50. Contrary TO the idea so
