Outside of this, the
i ■ i i i
t county orders
work done by the clerk for the county
amounts to over $>00, which would have
been paid to the clerk under the old law.
Thus the saving to llie county in one
month is $29! 68. Mr. Conder, during
his four years in the clerk’s office received
a little over $18,000 in fees, but he was at
the expense of hiring a deputy, etc.,
which cost him $1080 per year, ns he says.
However, he received $13,080 for his
four yeais work, or $3,420 per year. The
clerk m»w gets $1,500, and the deputy
$8l)0. The fees received in the sheriff’s
office from .Inly 2nd to August 2nd,
amount to $28.40. The sheriff under the
old law would have earned $20 besides
attending county court. The salaiy of
the sheriff ami deputy tor this time
amounts to $150 per mom h. The count y
is apparently out $101 6 ') on this office,
hut the delimpient taxes collected dur­
ing the tune cover the amount, and a
little to spare. Tile sheriff’s salary is
$1,2(10 per year, and the deputy $600.
The fees of the sheriff for serving jury
summons, criminal papers, and for mak­
ing delimpient lax levy, etc., will amount
to a neat sum however, ami under the
old law the county paid the sheriff for
doing this work So, it is very hard to
estimate just what the county really
gains by the salary system in this office
at present.
The fees of ExSheriff Edwards for the
two years he held the oilice, amounted to
$6,1846.). Out of this the expenses of
the office, in the way of stationery, board­
ing prisoners, traveling expenses, horse
hire, and deputy hire, aim uuled to $2,359,
leaving a net salary of ^3,925.6'» for the
two years, besides there was some profit,
perhaps, in boarding prisoners and like
work.
Pocr Sheriff Jackson must shudder
when he leads this, as the expenses of
the office for two years amount to within
$41 of what his salary is undei the new
law.
The sheriff g ts the fee from the state
for taking insa e persons to the asylum,
when the court gives him this work,
though the sheriff has taken out only
one insane person so far, the other two
being taken out by private parties ap­
pointed by the court.
