per month, effective January 1, 1941.

mately 106, aceording to the 1980 census, the

ar Ook” to the 1930 census it had a populetion of
? .

“The Comissioners' Court's position ia that
the office of County Treasurer is useless in this
county for the reason that the duties that might be
performed by our County Treasurer are performed by
the auditing department, and that it ie a waste of
money to pay out this sun for « treasurer.

‘The County Treasurer filed, was nominated in

position t in view of the fact the Treasurer's
shlary has been $2,700.00 per year for years
and was that amount during the year 193°, Com~

powerless to reduce the amount of his salary delow
the amount paid the holder of that office during
the year 1935.
