CORONER FUND CLAIMS WORRY COUNTY HEADS

They Don’t Know Where to 1 Get Money to Pay for / Vchling Autopsies. * BY SHELDON KEY Why ts County Coroner Fred W. Vchling spending his autopsy appropriation so fast? This Is the question raised today by county commissioners and County Auditor Harry Dunn, after Vchling submitted claims for $1,050 to pay autopsy bills from March 1 to the middle of May. The conundrum, however, is slight In comparison with a more practical problem that must be solved. This is—where will autopsy funds be obtained to run the coroner's office the rest of the year? Vehling already has spent $2,850. Asks Additional Funds After exhausting his $1,300 autopsy budget, first appropriated by the council, Vchling applied for an additional $1,725. Last week the council pared this to $1,500, which was to pay for autopsies until the council meets again in September. When the $1,050 in present claims are paid from the $1,500, the coroner will have only $l5O to care for his summer business. Claims for $1,050 were allotted as follows: Doctor's Emil G. Winter, ♦300; Roy A. Geider, $125; Earl M. Koons, $250; Henry R. Alburgcr, -♦225; Clarence N. Harris, $125, and Oscar D. Ludwig, $25. Vehlmg has been told by the council that he must cut his expense as much as possible. This ultimatum was delivered when Fred Barrett, attorney for Vehling, appeared before the body with a request for additional money. Adopt New Policy Barrett, at that time, declared that, following an investigation of excessive expenditures in the coroner’s office, due to precedents followed for twenty years, Vehling had adopted a policy that would save the county $3,000 a year. This is being accomplished, Barrett declared, by firing an office constable, who was not allowed by law, and by reducing the pay of an office clerk from $3 to $2 a day. This office clerk makes extra money by doing “outside’’ stenographic work, It is reported.* At its last meeting the council, supporting its stand that expenses must be slashed, defied Vehling ♦25 for postage and cut a $320 printing request to SIOO. The investigation of irregular practices In the coroner’s office was conducted by The Times, and brought from Vehling promises to change conditions and end graft that was bared in the probe.

and desserts, bread. Eat any fruit for dessert. That’s all you do. Fat seems to melt away. The coarse lines of overweight give way to the refined ones of slenderness. You lose as much as a pound a day. You feel better than for years. For in this treatment you achieve two important results. The Jad Salts clear your system of toxins. *The diet takes off fat with food that turns to energy instead of weight. If you're tired of being embarrassed by fat, try this way. You’ll be glad that you did. You can get Jad Salts at any drug store. *Note particularly—the salts are urged purely as a poison-banishing agent—not as a reducing. The change in food does the w’ork.—Advertisement.
