Kennedy gave an ele gantly appointed dinner at the La porte Hotel, Tuesday night, as a farewell courtesy to the Hoard of Commissioners he so ahly served as clerk, and to the the County Audi tors, who highly praised his official record. The guests in addition to the Commissioners and Auditors were Win. Kennedy, John Flynn, Atty. E. J. Mullen, Frank Lusch, Sheriff Cott, Ed. Flynn, Michael Flynn, H. L. White, W. B. Ititter, Ed. Sweeney, A. 11. Buschausen, Harry /ax and N. C. Mahen. A sumptuous dinner was served which was in keeping with the rep utation of the Laporte Hotel.

Caseman, Bauniaunk, Buschausen and Mahen, contributed largely towards the amusements of the evening. in strumental music hy Mr. Caseman was also much enjoyed. All pres ent pronounced the dinner a decided success. County Auditors Adjusting: Grievances. Ex-County Commissioners S. S. Rogers, Henry llufl'master and Phil ip Secules were summoned and ap peared before County Auditors A. I'. Starr, Christian Caseman and James Sweeney, on Tuesday, to appear in defense of the surcharges made against them four years ago which had not yet been settled as they claimed injustice done them. Four years ago the commissioners refused to allow the auditors a clerk, and charged them with the amount paid for such service, although it had been the custom for many years to be assisted in this manner. No tice was not served them to this effect until the service came to be paid. At the next annual audit the commissioners found themselves sur charged to the amount of $l5O and they were not called in for a hearing in their own defence. It appeared to our present auditors after care fully examining the accounts, that both misunderstanding and actions of spite underlay the principle causes for the surcharges, and acted wisely and justly in cancelling the most of them. There was but one item of #52 jointly surcharged to the commissioners that was left to stand and be collected. This was for an amount paid to the commissioner's clerk as compensation for extra work, which was thought by the auditors, belonged to the service for which a salary was paid. The indi vidual account of Mr. Secules for ex penses to the Commissioners State Convention, remained to be paid. Clerical compensation was allowed the auditors as they had not been properly informed that the service would not be paid, as had long been the custom. One of the auditors having paid his portion of the sur charge, it was ordered that he be refunded the amount. The muddle is now judiciously equalized and should be settled with out further trouble.
