their recpe."tive electors, citizens o
Hood Kiver are initiating a bill lor in
creasing the salary of County B hoc
Superintendent lib?on to jfr.WK) nei
annum. The question, it is stated may
be brounht betoro the eledwr by initi
ative petition or ty a en: I from thi
county court. The sentiment for ai
increase in Mr. Gibson's salary is gen
eral, the initiative petitun receiving
signature from all parts of the oun
tv. Those circulating the documan
found cupport. o the proposed measure
practically unanimous.
The opinion ot the altorppy g::ier.-i
was asked because of tho futility ut ar
initiative bill in 1914 fostered, b ill
grangt-rs of the district for an adiisl
ment of various county salaries. In
bill then adopted wrs declared invali
bv the Supreme touit. An enalilin
act DBised bv the 191'J legislature, ue
wording to Mr. Brown, makes tatar
adjustment by vote ot counties po?
stole.
