recommend to your honorable body the
following, to>wit:

which ought to be recorded are not re-
corded and are now several months behind
and that In the opinion of your committee
II will take at least three months to write
the records and files In said Office up TO
date of the next meeting of the board, in
addition TO any help already engaged In
said office; and we would recommend
that the probate clerk be authorized to
employ three competent men at a per diem
of not to exceed 81 80 each, to write up
said records and that he pay said men,
along with the assistance already engaged
In his Office from the fees earned and
actually collected in his said office from
time 10 time, as he may see fit, until the
next meeting of this board, not to exceed,
however, the sum aforesaid or the amounts
heretofore allowed for the assistance al>
ready engaged In his said Office, and If any
balance may be due to the additional help
herein directed that the same be presented
In proper form to the next meeting of this
board, to be allowed and audited out of any
funds actually collected and heretofore
turned in by said probate clerk to the
county treasury of this county and to be
drawn If any balance would remain here.
after against any SUMS actually earned
during the time said help were employed
in said Office, and hereafter collected, as
aforesaid, that in no event shall said county
of La Sale be responsible for or pay any
sum to said employees other than as
actually earned and collected, as aforesaid,
In said office
That this recommendation is made really
to bring to date the records which were
behind on his initiation to office.
