Mikus Upholds Action of Two Commissioners
Prosecutor Paul Milus upheld the action of County Commissioners R. J. Fortney and J. Norman Thompson in approving county bills on April 8 for payment on April 10. The ruling came after County Author Frank Ayres delayed payment while challenging legality. The law requires five days to pass before approval and five more before warrants are issued, but Mikus ruled the board may approve anytime provided the waiting period is observed before payment. The commissioners approved April 8 because they would be away on April 10 and did not want to delay payment.
