County Auditors Lose Harlin Bill Passed
Columbus Ohio February 4 The county auditors lose 100000 in fees from the February half years settlement as the Harlin house bill cutting the 2 percent on school money passes the Senate 20 to 7 and is signed by the lieutenant governor and speaker then rushed to Gov Pattison. The governor signs the measure at once under auditors lobby watch. Senator Vanover denounces the auditors as grafters and the floor crowd retreats to the Smoking Room. Senator Williams and Howe defend the bill. Berry of Van Wert opposes it. The measure will deduct 12625 from Auditor Wright of Cuyahoga on the half year settlement.
