specter Hiiton' long looked for report has

effrontery to assert that the state owes him.
I took hard work to oven get this report.
Ho figures It out thIs woy hy saying thai
ho has collected fees on gasoline by which
no authority In time statutes IS granted. Mr.
hiiiton Is a man of bad record and Gov-
eror Crounse , who was In. nearly every way
a model executive . made a great mistake I .
when he appointed him. Mr. Crounse knew
him weii . and It Is saId by giving him this
job he had hope to get a $5,000 Judgment
of several years standIng cleared up.
