Ogden’s attitude led Leo K. Fesler, county auditor, to say today that he ivould not certify any levy now unless mandated. While Clifford Kealing, attorney for

Out of Sheriff’s Way “Wo haven't seen the sheriff and we won't meet till we get our orders,” said President King before boarding the train. “Nobody left any court orders with me or my deputies and it’s not my affair to hunt up business.” said Sheriff George Snider today, when asked why papers were not served. “The councilmen were subpoenaed to be in court for the hearing, and if they had been there they would have learned the order,” said Frank Childers, chief deputy county clerk. “As they weren’t there it was up to Ogden, their attorney, to let them know.” Notice Unofficial Ogden and W. T. Bailey, assistant city attorney, represented the counellmen, and unoffleialiy notified King, as president of the council, of the order Saturday. Developments today Indicated contempt of court proceedings are not likely, since the order for meeting was not issued for any certain time. Members of the board of health still believed the ordinance for increase could legally be parsed and certified tonight. They point out that the levies are needed to carry out their present program and save the boars from increasing debt caused by lack of revenue.
