The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1900-06-12
The County Commissioners at

comply with the law, will have
to appoint Supt. of Public In
struction for Custer county, as
our present one has moved away
from the county seat The Cen
eral Laws of Idaho, page BOG,
says
s'Sec. 1. At the next ensuing
general election after the pass
age of this Act, there shall be
elected in each county in the
State of Idaho, superintendent
of public instruction, s0ho shall
reside at the county seat Of the
county in tohtch he is elected, and
who shall hold his Office for a
term of two years
"Sec. 4. The county superin-
tendent of public instruction shall
designate certain days in each
month as his Office days, which
shall not be less than tdUe ias anY
month, and upon these days SO
designated by him, he shall keep
his Office open from 8 o'clock a.
m. until 5 o. clock p. M"
According to Section A, a per-
son cannot well be Superintend-
ent and school teacher at the
same time, for the two offices
conflict. A person in this posi-
tion may designate Saturdays as
Office days, but as there are but
seldom four Saturdays in a
month, they must use four school
days in month, when school is
in session, for Office days, but
this has not been complied with
in Custer county. The two Off
ces are in conflict. The law says:
HE shall designate not less than
five days in each month as office
days, and this officer shall reside
at the county seat.
