measures reducing. the expenses of the cit
which l submitted to the last Legislature
Had they all passed, this bill would hav
received my approval with the rest, an

the Legislature refused to reduce the fee
Of the civil sheriff, amounting to nesrl
100000 year, in cash, and the fees of th
criminal sheriff, amounting to about tn
same sum in city scrip think, under Ties

district attorney, which do not excee'
$1,000 a year, would be an act of injustice
to a faithful and efficient officer.
