1t is important to observe that the
large majority of city, town and couu-
ty officers receive little or no compen-
sation for their services a. Hence men
who possess the necessary qualifca-

such Offices, except in places where
they reside and own property, and
have substantial interests. Reports
have been received from several por-
tions of the State that no person can
