SAVES MONEY FOR COUNTY Mr. Danner, Register of Wills, Cuts Down Expenses of This Office While his business was not equivalent ot that of 1912, the banner year, the report of Roy C.

Danner, Register of Wills, published to-day, is considered by county officials as a most ifying one. Mr. Danner's business was considerably less than that of the year before, although by keeping down the expense he was able to turn over to the county a rather neat amount. Not since he went into office has Mr. Danner allowed his unfortunate physical affliction to interfere with his business.

He has encountered many difficulties, but he always maintained the role of an optimist, and not once during the two years has he failed to report at the office. Mr. Danner's annual report shows that he granted 162 letters testamentary; 26 wills were probated, in which cases the issuance of letters was unnecessary; 158 letters of administration were taken out, and 145 accounts filed. The total receipts were $3,955.91. the expenditures $3,497.74, leaving a balance of $458.17.

Half of this amount, or $229.09, will be turned over to the county.
