ACROSS

6 Odd job compositor with a dollar? Subject to a debate! ( 5 ) : S?O?T

Thanks for your precious help!

s moot ?

smoot is a nonstandard unit of length created as part of an MIT fraternity prank. It is named after Oliver R. Smoot, a fraternity pledge to Lambda Chi Alpha, who in October 1958 lay on the Harvard Bridge, and was used by his fraternity brothers to measure the length of the bridge.

scout (odd jobber) ?

8 - tochers?- Scottish dowries and sounds like talkers?

Tochers is right.

6 across is my last one too - I like the idea of 'Smoot' but this month there are no real references to USA as usual, as the Crossword is dedicated to a late Scottish compiler.

Tough call this one.

It was a long shot. just thought moot = subject to debate

I agree , it works, as does 'Scout' with 'Out' as in open to debate - decisions.....
