REPORT ON OFFICES OF
AUDITOR AND CORONER.

mitted a report on the offices of the
county coroner and the county auditor.
In the report on the office of County
Coroner DR.. Paul f. Robinson for a
period beginning Jan. /, 1920, aad ending
Dec 81, 1920, considerable space was
given to the discussion of a new system
used by the coroner last year relative
to the paying of witness fees.
Prior to Jan. 1, 1920. the witness for
the coroner inquests was paid by the
witness signing receipt but since that
time the witness is paid by check. The
examiners expressed themselves as favor
ing the check system.
The examiners recommended that "by
reason of the coroner having received fees
for witnesses IN the year 1919 and in
the early part Of 1920 under the receipt
system and later by paying the witnesses
by check and fling claims for reimburse
ment on account of witness fees paid,
the following items OF witness fees total
ing $3.50 should be returned to the county
treasury"
The report shows that Dr. Robinson
paid that amount into the treasury after
his attention was called to it.
