Phone SP 3-6241 Opinion Expected On Group Expense The answer to whether it is legal for the county court to pay expenses of the budget committee is expected soon from Attorney General Rob ert Y. Thornton, District At torney Thomas Reeder said Saturday. He said his office has writ ten the attorney general ask ing for the opinion. He also said he did not know of any taxpayer's group interested in the case, but asked for the opinion after news accounts brought it to his attention. However, County Judge Rodney Keating said Satur day the county court wrote a memorandum to the district attorney requesting he ask for an opinion from the attorney general. Law Provides "The law provides that the budget committee should re ceive no compensation for its services," Reeder continued. "The county court has been making payments of $10 a day to budget committee members as reimbursement for expen ses. Another question is whether this money can be fund or should be a budget item. The county court has been taking it from the emer gency fund, Reeder said. "It is not compensation, it is purely expenses," County Judge Rodney Keating said Saturday. He explained further that the board of equalization members are paid $10 a day from which a deduction is made for industrial accident insurance since that money is considered as wages.

Oh ap parently was struck repeat edly on the head by either a bottle or club. Blood was spattered over a wide area. His pockets were empty and his glasses lay on the ground several feet from him. He died 10 minutes after he was taken to Presbyterian hospital. money paid to the budget committee members is for ex penses only, he stated.
