Coif nty Clerks In Session
The Oall for a meeting of the
c onuty, clerks of the state drew about
l., rs of the elect to-
J hell et'r yestTJa' to tliscuss mailers
Travel'" connection with their oflices.
,man- yxTh-meeting organized at 3 p.m.
?o to thets O. M. Ta-gart of Otoe county,
'uniisbr..the chair, aim John Maher of
by the chair to Htati the object of
the meeting and Haid that it was a
wise move, he thought, to meet and ;
become acquainted with each other j
thus establishing closer relations
that they might work in common
for legislation which their common
experience taught them was needed
not only for the county clerks but
for the public. He pointed out the
defects of the present law regarding
fees, salaries and expenses of coun
ty clerks, showing that in many
counties, especially in those having
register of deeds, the receipts were
not sufficient to meet their running
expenses, lie didn't believe that
the people desired their clerks to
receive anything less than reason
able salaries, and certainly clerks
were entitled to know just how
much salary they may expect. The
speaker took occasion to criticise
the prevailing method of assess
ment, placing the value of the prop
erty of the state at about one-tenth
its real value, damaging the state
a great deal in its credi: among
eastern capitalists. A number of
other defects in present laws were
pointed out.
A motion then prevailed favoring
a 'permanent organization and in
pursuance thereof the chair ap
pointed this committee: Clerks E. P.
McCullom of Butler, F.J. Sackett of
Douglas, Frank Dickson of Cass and
W.G.Bradley of Nuckolls to pre
nare a constitution and oy-iaws
and a list of permanent officers to
submit when the clerks arain as
sembled at 10:30 a. m. to-day.
