y. COO returns for which the Sheriff got 30 cents

Spperyisors 20 fix the fees of the Sheriff, but had
never been done. The Sheriff bad been in the habit
of sendng in bis bills at 80 cents EACH and the
Board had allowed them. The Clerk Of the Ses-

Mr.. Yandevoort received only $3.50.
Mr. PURDY doubted the proprety Of reducing the

into operatiOn until the present incumbent ceased 10

himself.
