To the Hon. The Board of Com mmission-
ers of Kingsbury Co.
Gentlemen:-At your meeting In Sep
tember, 1885. when you allowed COM
pensation 10 School Clerks and Treas
urers YOU refused such compensation to
the Clerk and Treasurer of Esmopd
school township. Because their re-
ports show that they have drawn more.
salaries from the School Township
Treasurer than the law allows" My at
tentioD was called to this matter by an
explanation made orally TO your body
concerning trcasurer's report for the
year ending June so 1886 Ihave taken
pains to examine the books and vouch-
ers for Esmond township and find that
the report for 1885 was misleading, al
though it stated the amount Of money
paid during that year for salaries of Of
licers, it did no! state which, is the case, v
that part of the amount paid was for n
services rendered in the year ending
June 80, 1884.
Orders were issued and paid for sala-
ries of school officers, which for co1yen-
fence ! will number, as follows:
No. /, June 80, 1884, N. F. Barber,
$50, was paid Oct. q, 1884.
No. 2, June 80, 1854, HI. III. Sheets.
SO. was paid Nov. IL, 1884.
No. 3, June 1, 1884, J. Holt. $40, was
paid Nov. II, 1884
No. 4, June 27, 1885, H. II. SheUts,
500, was paid April 80, 1856.
No. 5, June 27, 1851. Holt, $25, wss.S
paid Feb. 90, 1856.
No. 6, June 27, 1856, N. F. Barber,
$50, was paid June 27, 1885.
Nos 1,2andS were issued for services
during the year ending 1884, ard to- (
gether with No. 4 was paid during the
year ending June so, 1885, that making
the report appear as if they had taken
one hundred and forty dollars for the
years services. Orders Nos. 4. 5 and
6 amounting to eighty-one ($S1l dollars
were Issued for services during year end
ing 1885. No. was paid the day 0f t.
sue June "a, 1886, and the others wero
paid during the last year. These orders
show that the board did not take ~
much as the law allows, but less. ~
therefore recommend that the Clerl
and Treasurer be allowed the sanl(
mpensation that the other Clerks an{
Treasurers receive for the year endinG
1885. lam very truly,
