Mislead in
In the presentments of the grand
ju.y, tlie recommendation to pay me
S9B 38 for extra services is incorrect,
and misleading to the people, and it is
due myself that a correction be made.
The grand jury or the county by
their recommendation, did not pay me
$98.35 for extra services. Only $28.00
were for extra services and tlie rest j
$70.38, was for the fee bill allowed by
law. This fee bill was as follows: 13
road orders at 50c. each, $7,50; 70
county orders at 50c. each, $18.00:
Recording 13(590 words, 120,50 ; Rail
road fare $1,30; 3 bridge bonds at sl.
each $3. making a total of $70,30
Now this much of the $98.38 is not
for extra novice at all, but a legitimate
fee bill which the grand jury has no
right to change. The remainder of
S2B is the insignificant stun they al
lowed me and my horse and buggy
for 28 days of.extra time 1 spent in
looking after the county matters. I
only charged two dnllarsa a day for
this service, the amount they voted
themselves in the grand jury room,
and they cut that down to half, mak
ing me with my horse and buggy do
•erviecs for the li'ggardly sum of $1 a
