The law says = deacienssiut the Sal
airy Fund shall be cured by the Com
missioners by . draft on the General
Fuud, thus apparently iuplying that
the salaries were to be paid tn coin nj
their face. but when there's nothing in
the General Fuud-as is Usually the
case during the greater partpi the year,
in mos: Of the cou,ties-how are the
Commissioners to extract blood from .
turnip? -r'H 'rn.si:.' 49,
FurtherI the statutes prohibit the is
suauce Of warrants upon any county
fund, except such fund shalt contain q
sum sufficient to cover such warrant;
therefore ia tho event OF ever so trifing
a deficiency in the Salary Fund and an
exhausted General Fund. noe a dime
could be legally drawn for tbs payment
OF salaries.
Another error in the new law, WAS
the failure to exempt from the impera-
two requirement OF advlOce fees in
cuses Nhsre services isreudered for the
counties. Under the present Law. who
is to advances fees for the county when
the same are demanded under che law.
aud FROM what fund are such fees TO be
drawul
The above nre the most prominent
defects In the new law that have yet
suggested themselves to our mind in
looking carefully over it With a view t.
its practical workings.
A reference n the Salary Act will
quickly convince the most skeptical that
tue quesiions P~ropounded in this a~rticio;
are unanswered. aud the necessity for
prompt Legislative action touching
these points, will be recognized by those
having charge Of county affairs, Mt least.
