Auditor Entitled to Fees for Making Assessors' Books.

Montlcello Herald. * Judge Vinton rendered his decision last week in the case of the Board of Commissioners vs. J. L. Ackerman in the matter of allowances that had been made to him while auditor for making the assessors’ books. The. court held that he was entitled to these allowances, as the work.was not a part of the duties of his office required by law, nor was it part of the assessors* duties. This particular action had been brought at the request of Mr. Ackerman himself, covering all the allowances be had received for this work during his terms of office and extending beyond the period covered by the accounting board’s examination. The whole amount Involved was $750. The decision of Judge Vinton clears up the last question of fees alleged to have been due from Auditor Ackerman's administration, and every question has been decided in his favor.
