The county legislative pot boiled
brlskly yesterday afternoon. The oe-
bate among the supervisors wsxsd 60
warm and sharp words were exchanged
80 often, that al times the board re-
sembled some OF the highest legislative
bodies.
The committee upon whom the duty
ok fixing the salaries Of county ofheers
deyolyed. reported both . majority sRd
minority report.
The ma jority report fixed the salaries
As follows: Prosecuting attorney,
$1,000; assistant prosecuting attorney,
$1,000; county treasurer, $1,000; deputy
treasurer, 5000; county clerk, sleoo;
supenntenaents of poor. $3.50 per day
members OF soldiers relief commission,
q per day; board Of prisoners al jail,
40 cents per days; circuit court mes
senger, sl.25 per day.
The minority submitted report ss
follows: Salary of prosecuting sttor-
ney, $1,000: assistant prosecuting at
torney, $1,000; county treasurer, $1,000
treasurer's clerk, $500; clerk OF the ad-
dltonal circuit court, $500; ciTcuu
court messenger, Sl.25 per day.
The majority report WAS adopted
but there ras very decided kick from
the sustainers of the minority.
The next order of business WAS the
report of the committee on equalization
of taxes, and the wrangle waxed still
hotter over this matter. The general
tendency of the majority OF the board
is 10 unload taxes on property IN the
rural districts and heap them upon the
city and the towns lying contiguous 10
II. The supervisors who live IN the
city and IN the surrounding towns 90
not object TO this proceeding If II is not
overdone, but they are disposed 10
name the limit. The plan OF tsperlng
of the assessments as the towns recede
from the city is viewed by most OF the
board - proper system, while others
claim that the value or productiveness
of the land should be the only standard
of valuation for farming property.
The board Is kicking because of the
rule 1t has Just adopted, by which
supervisors VINO are not present at roll
call draw no pay for that day. Today
the equalization of taxes will be taken
up again, and the report of the COM
mittee will doubtless be remodeled.
The board also threatens TO cut down
the pay OF the building committee to
$l.50 per day.

Truly Alderman Stebbins is not
mathematician. At least he did not
show himself as such In the council
Monday night. When the comptroll-
er's report WAS read, he took exceptions
TO one item; that being Miss Grace
Wendover's salary for October Her
compensation Is 81 per day, and it
amounted TO $54 for the month. Al
derman Stebbns claimed that at this
rate she would receive $50 a year more
than she was eptitled to. City Treas
urer Perry says that Alderman StebbnS
mathematical education must have
been sadly neglected. There are thirty
one days in October, four of which are
Sundays. This would leave twenty
seven working days, for which she
should receive S54. The conptrollers
books show that in February she re-
ceived only S4S, and during other
months 500 and $50, so that the MANY
short months make up for the long
ones.
