1947 Shows Big Gain From 1933 Low In Fees Collected By County Clerk County Clerk's Office Has Giant Year Highway Problems With Over $23,896.35 Collected In Fees Io Be Studied Monday Afternoon A t the close of business December 31, 1947, the records of the county clerk’s office show a total collection, of $23,896.35 in fees of which the following is a breakdow n as shown in com pari son w ith the year of 1946 and the Depression year of 1933, according to Lloyd W. Oddy, county clerk. Y e a r 1947 Recording Circuit Court Probate M arriage Licenses Dog Licenses Miscellaneous - - $ 11,501.50 5,787.00 1,274.50 1,164.00 - 3,146.00 - 1,02335 Year 1946 Year 1933 $ 10,712.85 6,122.00 1,907.50 1,305.00 4,788.00 1,366.85 $ 2,833.10 1,844.50 551.00 630.00 12.00 293.10 Totals - - - - - $ 23,896.35 $ 26,202.20 $ 6,163.70 From the above com parative figures, it will be noted th at the fees collected In 1947 are about four times greater than the amount col lected for the year of 1933, and the work in the county clerk’s office is being handled by a smaller staff than in former years. This is due to the fact that modem photographic equip ment has been installed for the re cording work. A ll legal instruments and court orders are now recorded by photography, and a considerable increase in volume of recording can be handled without increasing the of fice staff. The recording which for merly required two employees is now done by one employee. There are more than fourteen other coun ties in this state which have adopted the photographic system of recording and it is considered an improved and more economical recording system. The above figures do not reflect the full amount of work which has gone through the county clerk’s office for several volumes of Veterans’ dis charge papers have been recorded without charge as provided by law, and the last legislature provided for issuance by the county clerk of all certified copies of documents needed for veterans' benefits free of charge. The office staff now employed in the county clerk’s office consists of three employees besides the county clerk which compares very favorably with other counties of the state, tak ing into consideration population and One other improvement In The county clerk’s office Is the installation of a more modern and practical ac counting system which was installed in the year of 1945 under the super vision of County Auditors Leslie and Montgomery. The accounting department is in charge of Mrs. Georgianna Vaughan who has proved herself very capable, not only in the accounting depart ment, but in all departments of the county clerk’s office where she has served for many years. • • Power Crew Puts In Long Grind The crew from the Mt. States Pow er did a lion’s share of work from 8:30 p. m. Tuesday evening until 12:43 p. m. Wednesday noon when they worked without stop or rest on line repairs for the Mt. States Power. In one of the longest outages in the history of Mt. States Power com pany, the men first went to Coaledo where they worked on repair of a 68 H V line until four a. m., following which they went to Libby, in the Coos Bay area helping to repair the break on the main Roseburg-Coos Bay transmission line. Men working on the line so that Coquille could have power again were Jack Leach, A1 Cornwall, Elmer Shipp, Carl Gilbert, A1 Sprague, John Leatherwood, Frank Thrift, Jim Watson, Lou Williams, Carl Meacham, Pat O’Brien. • • A t Broadbent Pie Social Set By Extensionists Folks!

Extension units throughout the state have pledged thelmselves to raise money to build the Azalea House as a living memorial to the splendid work being done by the 4-H girls all over the state. • • - A preliminary meeting of all cities in Coos and Curry counties in prep aration for the Interim Highway com mittee’ sessions here Jan. 22nd, was announced for the city hall, Coquille, at 1:30 p. m.
