The auditor and his deputies can take
several hours for lunch and other
amusements, but when work Is required
the supervisors are approached and
asked to pay for overtime, and in most
cases it is allowed, though contrary to
law. The statute distinctly etates that
the salary of all officors, as 6xed-and
this includes deputies ehall be in full
compensation for all work done,
Now in regard to assessments OF prop
erty and parties, will only state few
more facts, and as an example will
quote the assessed valuation OF MIR. Lo-
pez's property and that of his bonds
men. Mr.. Lopez is assessed for $500.
Mr.. Jose Mascarel is on his bond for
$40, 900 and is assessed ior $50, 100. Mr..
George Cummings, who is on his bond
for the same amount as Mr.. Mascarel, is
assessed for $2l, 100. Mr.. f. Nj. Du-
bourdieu, who is on his bond for $40 00C,
is only assessed for s720. (The above
figures were furnished by the tax collec-
tors office)
Why does not Mr.. Lopez attack his
bondemen and etate what amount OF
taxes they ought to pay, and thereby
help to support an army of wire-pulling
politicians and hangers-on at the court
house?
