COUNTY BOARD
DEFENDS FEE
FOR AUDIT
Montgomery Officials Reply to
Injunction Suit; $4,000
Held Mere Estimate

Through their counsel, Whit
ford & Cissel, the Montgomery
county commissioners yester-
dav filed an answer to the in
junction proceedings instituted
by Richard Osborne and Harry
HOwes.
Osborne and Howes are seeking
to prevent the commissioners
from paying r. G. Rankin and
Company $4,000 in excess of the
$4,000 estimated as the cost of
the audit of the county books.
Estimate Only
While admitting the plaintiffs
are residents of the county, the
commissioners said that as far
as paying taxes is concerned, if
it be material, the complainants
have not paid their taxes, but
are parties to a suit protesting
the payment of taxes.
The figure of $4,000 was de-
clared merely to be an estimate,
as no reliable figures could be
gathered until the books were
examined with the proper aid
given by county officials and en-
ployes.
Books Not Balanced
There was nothing concerning
an audit of the school boards
books in the contract, the an
swer said. The books, however,
were examined to determine the
form of bookkeeping and we're
found to be in accordance with
the State public school system
law.
1t was found that the books
CT the county commissioners Of
flee were not properly kept,
erasures made and not balanced
since July l, 1915. while full
cooperation was not forthcoming
from Berry E. Clark, deposed
clerk to the county commits
