This sum includes disputed fees received by Mr. Bringham during his term as auditor, and one item is $107.10 for making transcript of the Lake township roads. Mr. Bringham hired this work done, but presented the bill in his name, and i for that reason the item is charged against him. The other fees Mr. Bringham claims as his by right of law, but is willing to submit the matter for judicial decision! Mr. Boyle is charged with $182.75, but given a credit of $50.90 for an overpayment at some time during bis term as recorder, leaving a balance sued on of $131.85. In this amount is an item of $23.70 for the release of school fund mortgages, which the county would be obliged to pay if the fee was collected, pnd for the recording of church deeds and certificates, which Mr. Boyle or his predecessors never charged for.
