NOT ENOUGH PAY.

George X. Linderman, one Of the
Commissioners of Berks County, on
Monday handed in his resignation to
Judge Ermentrout. The following is
his reason for resigning:
''sihce your honorable court has de-
cided that the pay of the County Com
missioners is regulated by the special
law of 1869, allowing the Commission
ers but $500 year, and not by the
general act Of 1869, which fixes their
pay at $3.50 per day, I find that I
cannot perform my duties as County
Commissioner in accordance with the
law as laid down by Judge Fell. My
Office expenses are about seventy-five
cents day, or about $40 per month.
This, deducted from what my month
ly salary would be, leaves me about
Sal per month. II the Office Of County
Commissioner will not afford me a
living without being dishonest / don't
want to serve as County Commission
er any longer"
