Mr.. LlNDLEY texplsiniDe): It is simply
TO repsi sn act passed Two years ago, found

10 ray the Recorder of Marion County,
twenty cents per 100 words for copying gen

Keep up and have. The Recorders Of Smaller

COUNTY CLERKS PER Dim.
Mr.. Youche's bill S. III being read he
second time
Mr.. YOUCHE said The object OF this
bill is to repeal the proviso 10 Section Z,
Acts CT 1855, page 80, which gives to County
Clerks the sum of - day for attending
Court. Before the set of 1888 Clerks re.
ceived no pay out OF the County Treasury
FOR attending the Circuit Court. 1t was sup
posed that his fees furnished sufficient COM
pensatioD. When this act was introduced
in the Senate last session there was no pro-
viso in the bill. When il came back here
from the house it seems there was proviso
IN 1t but IL came back on one OF those clos
ing days when bills are passed hurried!y.
The proviso IN the bill was 70. read. ]
listened to the reading sttentiYelv, aud
don't believe there were three members of
the Senate who knew they passed lsW
raising the Clerks fees 81 day. 1t amounts
10 the sum OF SO GOO every year paid ont
Of the County Treasures to the Clerks. This
bill is 10 restore the law as it was before
1883. | think there can not be any well
grounded opposition to il.
Mr.. OVERSTREET: II there is any reason
why the Clerk of the Superior and Criminal
Court is entii ed TO 81, il would apply to the
Clerk OF The Circuit Court We are told
that in cour ties where there is Superior and
Criminal Courts, the Clerk has 10 hire
deputy to attend those courts. Bot that
deputy performs similar work that the
Clerk of tie Circuit Court does, and
he receives the same fees, which amount to
more than ne pays that deputy. II the bill
also repealed the statute giving 81 q day to
Clerks of Superior and Criminal Courts, /
would support it, but as 1t stands will vote
against it.
MIR. FOWLER: ] concur in what has been
said by the Senator from johnson Mr. Over
street., but do not arrive at the same con-
clusiOn. | think this bill IS good IS far as
it goes, but it does not 20 far enough. There
ought 10 be no distinction between clerks
where there is Superior and Criminal
Court and where there is none.
The bill passed by yeas 2S, nays II.
And the Senate adjourned.
