JUSTICE CLERKS SIMPLY SUBMIT,
But Their Friends say Heaton Wants
Their Places for Others.

The recent order OF the county commits
sioners cutting the salaries of the clerks
In the Justices courts ~ per cent, Is
causing considerable talk among the
friends OF the clerks affected by the cut.
They blandly assert that IL is nothing
more or less than a scheme of Commits
sioner Heatons to place the salary so
low that the men will have TO resign, and
then he can appoint his friends at the
old salary.
Robert j. IAmeraux. clerk of Justice
Caldwelrs court, and Charles A. Duke of
Justice McElwain's court, were seen yes
terday by a Post-Inteiligencer represen-
tative and had nothing 10 say on the cut.
They stated that as long as the board
chose to make IL they could do nothing
but abide by It's decision.
An inspection OF the books OF the courts
showed to the reporter that a great deal
OF money Is turned into the treasury by
the Justices courts for which they are
not given credit. Take for instance
case where a man is admitted to bail by
depositing "A certain sum of money and
fails to show up at the specified time.
The amount deposited is turned over to
the auditor and is credited TO the county,
and the justice court gets no credit for IL.
Another case that can be cited is where
n constable goes outside the city limits
for a prisoner and charges up his mile
age and other fees, the whole amounting
to s. or So This is collected from the
prisoner IL he has the money, and turned
over to the county. without being cred
tied To the Justice court. There are many
moro instances that can be cited of
similar nature.
