Exceptions Filed in Case of Ex
County Commissioners.
Special to The Scranton Tribune.
Towanda, Oct. 3. Exceptions were
filed yesterday by tho attorneys of ex
Commissloners Horace Horton, John
Wolf and W. K. Green to the findings

peal case. There are two documents,
one leaning on the whole case, signed
by all the attorneys: tho other deals
with the Items affecting the new court
house architects, Lehman & Schmltt,
being surcharged to Horton and Wolf.
The first exception is that the court
erred In blending the decision of the
appeal of Horton, Wolf and Green,
filed April 22. 1S97, and the issues raised
thereby with the appeal of the tax
payers, etc., filed May' 13, 1897.
The court house contracts are taken
up In detail (and exceptions taken to
the surcharging us excessive and un
authorized Items, which amount to
$.1,642.23. and the architect's bills,
amounting to $3,114.06. An error Is also
alleged in deciding that the commis
sioners hud no authority to make con
tracts for tfie granite, marble and mo
saic work, also for the roofing, etc.
If the case is sent to the higher court,
as It probably will be, it is estimated
that the law cases will make about
2,100 pages, making several volumes.
