County s~rveyor's Profit by a Railing in
q Test Case.
SAN DIEGO, CAL, Nov. 10. - Judge
Puterbaugh to-day decided case of great
interest to County Surveyors in Califor-
MIA. Surveyor Vail sued the county
to recover s47O, alleged to be due
as compensation for his office for
April, 1895, basing his claim on paragraph
l45 OF the county government act OF 1899
which allows the Surveyor and all depu-
ties $40 per day EACH. The Dis
trict Attorney, as counsel for the Board
OF Supervisors, contended that $40
per day covered the salaries of the Sur
veyor and all deputies. Judge Puerbanph
decides in favor of the Surveyor, who has
two other suits of a similar nature pend.
ing. The case will probably be appealed.
