SALARY FUND QUESTION.
1t seems that the salary fund ques-
ton has not altogether been settled, as
the following resolution came up at
yesterdays session:
Whereas, On June 80, 1886, a fund
for the payment of salaries OF regu-
lar employees OF this county was es-
tablished by resolution of this board;
and,
Whereas, The auditor Of said coun-
ty was instructed thereafter to draw
warrants upon said fund for the pay
ment of salaries and compensation of
all regular employees; and,
Whereas, A doubt has arisen in the
mind of the auditor as to what en-
ployees of the county properly fall
under this signation of regular coun-
ty employees; now, therefore, be it,
and it is hereby
Resolved, That such designation OF
regular employees was and is intended
to include the following named employ
ees Of Salt Lake county, to-wit: Coun-
ty commissioners and their clerk; coun-
ty clerk and his employees; county au-
ditor and his employees; county collec-
tor and his employees; county attorney
and his employees; county assessor and
his employees; sheriff and his employ
eeS- county recorder and his employ
ees; county surveyor and his employ
eeS; county coroner and his employees;
county treasurer and his employees,
and the janitors of the county's end
of the joint building"
The resolution was referred to Rob-
erts and Christopherson.
