AUDITOR WILL PAY
O'BRIEN. SALARY
Attorney General's Office Rules Fish.
Commissioner is Entitled to .
$1,200 in Back Pay. .
Lificoln, May 17. W. J. O'Brien,
superintendent of the state - fish
hatchery at Gretna is legally entitled
to the $1,200 claim for back pay al
lowed him by the legislature, accord
ing to an opinion by Assistant At
torney General George W. Ayers pre
sented to State Auditor George W.
Marsh. '
"That means the end of the con
troversy, so far as I am concerned.
Mr. O'Brien will get his money,"
Marsh said.
The $1,200 represents the differ
ence in actual cash paid O'Brien dur
ing the last four years and the ap
propriation set aside for his salary.
The legislature four years ,ago set
aside $2,400 annually for O'Brien,
while the secretary of agriculture
under whom O'Brien worked paid him
only $2,100 a year.
Governor Bryan at first approved
the claim, but yesterday following
a statement to the effect that O'Brien
could not live in a private home he
had built for himself and must re
side in a home provided for him at
the hatchery, the governor" asserted
he didn't believe O'Brien should get
the money, and he was laboring un
der a misapprehension as to what the
claim was for when he approved it.
O'Brien, who is a witness in a law
suit at Dakota City, Neb., was reach
ed by long distance telephone today
and was asked whether he intended
to comply with the governor's ulti
matum. "As I know nothing about the de
tails of the affair, I don't care to dis
cuss it until I can reach Lincoln and
have a talk with the governor,"
O'Brien said.
