PAY OF COUNTY SURVEYORS.


The board OF county commissioners re-
CARDS the recent decision Of the supreme
court az Olympia as a vlndtcatiou OF the
ruling OF the board with reference 20 the
Pay OF The county surveyor OF King county.
The case which brought forth the deci-
zion Of the supreme court was an appeal
from the superior court OF Thurston coun-
~, involving the county surveyors act OF
March IL, 1855. There appears to have been
an agreement among surveyors all over the
STATE that under section Of that act they
were entitled 10 s. day for recording '.alI
HELD notes. construction notes and plats OF
surveys heretofore executed for the eoun-
" but not recorded ia the surveyors
once, the act containing a direction that
All such surveys and plats be recorded In
Inc surveyors Office. The surveyors also
claimed that, under section 10 of the same
act, which directs that the surveyors office
SHAH be kept open so that the records
therein shall be subject 20 the examination
and Inspection OF the public. they were en-
titled 10 s. a day for keeping the Office
opeo regardless Of the amount of work
done. This would work q manifest in JUS
tlee, especially in the more thinly popu-
lated counties, where the surveyors Office
Is seldom visited.
When County Surveyor Gardner present
ed his first account after the passage OF
the act mentioned, it contained charges in
accordance with these views But the
Uodiu OF county commissioners rejected his
account, except for such work as IL had di-
rected him TO do. Soon after the enactment
or the law the board passed order al
lowing County Surveyor Gardner a clerk
at SD month, whose duty ii should be 10
keep the Office open and do such other work
as the board might require.
Were the surveyors allowed 70 charge s.
a day for recording ''aIi surveys and plats
heretofore executed" they might easily
abuse that privilege by continuing the work
indefinitely. The supreme court in its re-
cent decision holds that section OF the act
mentioned does not entitle the surveyors to
- day for such work, but only 10 the
same fees or rates that would have been
paid to the auditor for doing the same
work. The work in the auditors office has
invariably been paid for by the folio, and
not by the day

Judge Osborn Lays Down the Law on
Preparation of Cases.

Judge Osborn yesterday took occasion
10 make a strenuous protest against the
practice OF attorneys tn taking up the
tine OF the court with a case I'm which the
papers were not In proper shape. Clement
Johnson had obtained judgment against
A. r. Cavanaugh in the justice court for
ssl. and the case came before Judge Os-
born on appeal. The judge took James T..
McGrew, the counsel for the plaintiff.
somewhat aback by declaring that the
case. according to the papers laid before
The court, presented no issue. There Is
no affidavit here" he said. mo verified ac-
count. no verified complaint. in fact moth
fne on which 20 conduct trial. Attorneys
should see that papers are In proper shape
before coming here TO take up the time Of
the court"
When Attorney McGrew for the plain
tiff pleaded the poverty OF his client.
Judge Osborn said: His poverty makes
no difference I'm this matter. A poor man
has just as good rights in this court as a
rich man, but not whit better. Mr..
Clerk, strike the case from the trial cal
endar The plaintiff Will bear the costs up
20 this date. and IL is a question in my
mind whether he ought not also 10 bear
the attorneys fee for the defendant. The
