COUNTY CLERK DOES
BIG BUSINESS IN 1919
Hlimt lllji lucn-HHK Over Picvlous
Year and Makes a 1'rollt.
Kecolpis of the office of the coun.
ty clerk during the year 11SI were
l00 more than In 1II18. according
lo a report compiled by County Clerk
J. W. Hunt. The fees taken in at
the office during lilt amounted to
$4,670.76 as compared with $3,7bi
35 during 11118. June was the
lightest month In nuint i.r ..in.
only $332. 5 having been taken In.
liusiiiuHS was better during Decem
ber and Mr. Hunt and bis assistants
worked long hours In order to reach
inn $000 murk, which as Jimmy sale,
ho had set as a goal, lie reached It
alright and hud $2 over for Decem
ber roo totalled $G02.
The office of the clerk showed a
profit, and it must bo a source of
satisfaction to the taxpayers to know
that Instead of being called on to pay
for the maintenance of the office,
mere was a profit. The receipts
were $316.78 more than expense
and no one feels more happy over
this fuel than does Mr. Hunt.
Tho foes for 1 1 9 by months were:
Jununry, $366.30; Kebrunry. $340.
60; March, $407.30; April, $3,
May, $415 85; June, $332.85; July,
$3110.85; August, $351.55; Septem
ber, $371.66; October , $484.86;
November, $34 8.10; December, $G0a
Notwithstanding the Increase In
buslliWHS. almost 33 nep rant (l.
clerk hus been able to run his of-
ice without additional clerical help,
i fact which speaks well for the au
tre forco of the office.
