State Supreme Court Upholds Eight Dollar Day Examiners
The Washington state Supreme Court, by a three to two vote, sustains the bureau of inspection law allowing the state auditor to employ unlimited examiners at eight dollars per day to audit city, town, school district, or county books. The ruling, written by Chief Justice Dunbar and joined by Justices Parker and Mount, holds the law proper and not a municipal tax, despite objections from Judges Fullerton and Gose. The decision confirms pay out of state funds and limits, pending possible rehearing.
