county commissioners at their coaven-
tion in Pennington. 1t was reported
that the commissioners had voted to
reduce the salaries Of the commission
ers This is not the case. After con
siIerinS the matter for some time the
commissioners agreed to recommend
that the next Legislature pass a law
by which the sheriffs shall work on a
salary and not under the fee system
as at the present time. This is what
has been advocated great many
times. and the commissioners believe,
should such law be passed it would
give the greatest satisfaction to the

the French government is puzzled as
