Clerk JnrdBn's Troubles.
County Clerk Frank Jordan was in.
Quoted into Office yesterday with all cere-
mony. and appeared naturally a happy
man. Bat the new County Clerk is not as
we'll pleased as some people might suppose
he would be on entering on four years
term in county Office which pays good
fat salary.
The reason is that he is said to have ap-
pointed more clerks than be has positions
for. and he disappointed ones are raising
a disagreeab!e disturbance.
The new County Clerk contemplates
some very radical changes in the manage
ment and affairs of his Office, and as q
move in that direction has addressed a
communication to the Board of Superyi-
sors asking fer protection of legal docu-
mentS.
