Ing apptu-ea by Judge Trenchard, Clerk
betchner gave the retiring clerk receipt
for the affairs of the office. Those
gathered in the office to witness the cere-
mony then proceeded to congratulate Mr..
Betchner.
The new County Clerk has not made
any public announcement of his assist
ants. and he will probably not make any
changes for short time.
1t is quite likely that under the present
conditions, Mr.. Betchner will retain his
position as City Tax Collector. All of the
bills have been sent out, and considerable
confusion would result if he should
vacate the place just as the important
collections are about to be made.

whether he would be a candidate for re-
election upon the Democratic ticket.
