Session Today and Expect to
" Save Connty $2,000
From Thursday's Dally,
nmmttnT.t thir
session todav took up a number of
matters in line of retrenchment in
the expenses of the county and one
of the first steps taken was that of
doing away with the office of county
highway commissioner and in which
the county board expects to make a
saving of some S2.000 for the coun
ty taxpayers during the year. While
this office has made a good showing
and been valuable in the work of con
struction of the different road pro
jects carried on during the past
year, it is figured that there is now
very little new construction ahead
and the main task in the future will
be looking after the upkeep of the
networl: of federal aid roads that

and this will cover the entire county
in this manner so that the work
that the highway commissioner has
been doing may still be kept up at
less expense to the county.

MATE OF EXPENSE FOR
THE COMING YEAR.
Fni Friday's Daily.
The Board of County Commission
ers at their section Liii3 week nave
boon conducting a campaign aimed
to ease the burden of the cost of the
county government somewhat on the
taxpayers and in their efforts have
made a very pleasing sihowing that
will be appreciated by those who
have .to contrubute the wherewithal
to conduct the business of the coun
ty. In the eatimalte of ithe expense of
rurning the county for the year a
sli jo cf $31,000 was made in ithe var
ious funds and this will mean a great
deal in lessening the cost of govern
ment. The abolishing of the office of
county highway commissioner will
aV-O save what Is estimated at S2,
000 a year for the tax-payers of the
county.
Yesterday afternoon the county
heard Itcok up tihe matter of the sal
aries of tne employes of the county
and made several cuts in salaries of
the various departments over the
count house. In the office of the coun
ty treasurer (the salary of the chief
clerk was nipped frcm $150 to $140
per month.. It might be stated here
that this office has a very large
amount cf work and at one time it
was urged that there be an addition
al clerk appointed out It was finally
decided that if the employes were
willirg to do the extra work that
the difference in the pay of a new
clerk would be pro-rated among
them and this accounts for the sal
ary beir.g larger than in dther de
paittments cf the court house. In the
office of the county judge, Judge
Decson had recommended that 'the
naary of the clerk ibe placed at $100
per month but the board decided
i'ret in the -fuSture $90 would be suf
ficient as it has been for the past
year.
The Salaries of .the clerks in the
office of the clerk of the district
couTt. county superintendent and
county attorney be sealed from $90
per month down to $82.50 and
wii.rlch was adopted.
The salary of the janitor of the
court house and jail was scaled from
$110 to $102.50 per month.
The commisloners also took a turn
alt the road work of the county and
mide a number of reductions in the
price of the woTk Taid for labor on
the county highways. Ten foot -drag
wtas reduced from $1 to 80c per hour,
8 feet drag from 75c to 65c per hour.
Less than 8 feet at 50c per (hour,
road overseer, 35c instead of 40s per
hour, one man at 25c per hour in
ftaid of 30c as at present.
The county board has no jurisdic
ton &n fixing the salaries of the
county officials or the deputy coun
ty clerk or treasurer and these or
fices will all probably receive a shot
