The Good Roads Work Of Tillamook County Costs Total Of $66. 004,57
For Mouth Of July
One of the most important offices
in the court house is that of County-
Clerk Brimhall.
Compared with
eastern states, where the offices are
multiplied under many heads, the
office of county clerk in Oregon is a
combination of four offices in
Here, in Oregon, the Clerk
clerk of the District Court,
County Caurt, Register of Deeds,
and Clerk of the Probate Court.
Seven or eight counties iq the state
now’ have a county recorder, and
M’ultnomah county has a county and
¡tor, but most of the coun ies group
:ill four offices under one head—
that of county clerk.
H. S. Brimhall began his present
term on January first last, and has
four assistants, as follows: Chief
deputy, Miss Bernice Ripley with
Miss Edna Mills, Mrs. Lelia Doty
and Miss Margaret R. Shearer as the
other deputies.
The first two nam­
ed were retained in ofitllce, and the
last two were appointed by the
present clerk.
The business of the county is
growing very fast, and soon addition
al room will be required in the
Clerk’s office, and also in other de­
partments of the building. In fact
the need of such room has been a
subject of discussion by the Court,
and will later on receive due atten­
tion, no doubt.
One of the largest duties of the
County Clerk is the matter of the
county payroll, and it is here that
all warrants are drawn and Issued
for current and other indebtedness,
and among the items that figure
largest, is that of county road im­
provements. Clerk Brimhall states
that no other county in the Btate is
doing more than Tillamook in the
matter of building good roads,, and
it is easy to count the benefits that
will follow while others are already
apparent.
The payroll for July was one of
the largest ever made in this county
the main items of wh.ch are given
as follows: Road District No. 1, $11,
824,58; Diet No. 2, »14,784.11; Dis­
trict No. 3. $14,027.50; General
Fund, $6.477.77; Market Road No.
1. $8.257.76; Market road No. 2, $7-
482.78,; Market Road No. », 11. -
109.00; Bond Project No. 2, 12.
041.07. Total for month of July
$66,004.57.
The Clerk’s office Is more In touch
with the public than perhaps any
other office, for it is here tba: all
complaints must be filed and where
much Information sought relative
to county matters can be ascertained
by the records.
Clerk Brimlihll
-fates that the fees which come to
the county monthly, practically take
care of the expense of the office, »o
that it is in that way almost if not
quite self-supporting, taking that
view of it.

BOIL YOUR WATER,

Sewer Contamination Thought To Be
Cause Of Sickness
Mayor Moulton has caused notices
to be posted warning the people of
Tillamook to boil all drinking wa-
ter as a baterlological test of the wa
ter supply of this city has been
found to contain dangerous organ­
isms from sewer contamination. Un­
til the ieak is found, the above warn
ing should be heeded. A short time
ago the water was tested and re­
ported at that time to be pure, but
F. D. Striker, state health officer
together with Dr. Boals, county
health officer secured a sample last
Thursday and sent it to Portland
for analysis. The report of the an­
alysis showed the presence of sew­
er germs as above stated. The two
officers also made a tour of the beach
resorts and found bad conditions
there. The infection from the pol­
luted water produces severe gas con­
ditions in the stomach and many be­
lieve the epidemic now current to
be a result of the water pollution. In
the meantime, boil the water, until
the source of the poisonous germs is
discovered, says Mayor Moulton.
Round Of Coast Country Made On
Foot By Local People
On Wednesday of last week a hik
ing party, composed of Mesdames
E. Bales, W.J. Hill, Max Schultz and
Geo. Kehm, left Tillamook for a trip
to Newport by way of the coast trail
The trip to
t South Beach was com-
pleted in three and one half days,
the party arriving at South Beach
Saturday noon. While at South
Beach, the • ladies were guests of Mrs.
Hill’s father, Mr. Hendricksen, who
owns the old life saving station site,
and a large tract of land adjoining.
On thereturn trip the party embark­
ed on a coaster at Newport and came
up to Taft, where they took the trail
on the homeward lap of the trip,
reaching Tillamook Wednesday eve­
ning last. The only inconvenience
suffed was from sore feet. There
were no cougars prowling about at
night, and therefore the trusty hat­
pins werenot required.
The ladies report that the govern­
ment trail from Otis to Taft, was ex­
cellent. and that Forest Rangers are
keeping it clear of brush. All unite
in saying that the trip was thorough
ly enjoyable, and that nothing In
summer recreation compares with
the joy of a hike down the scenic
trails of the coast line.
