ASSESSORS OFFICE
MIR. DARNEILLE ,kaFfS FOR SOME IN.
CREAsEs IN mn DEPARTMENT..
The Needs of the Coming Year To
Make theNVVo rIx Salts
faDtDry.

Mr.. H. H. Darneflln, the assessor Of the
District, today submitted to the Commits.
sioners the following estimate of the
amount required for aie proper support of
his office during the fiscal year ending June
10. 1902:
Assessor. $4,000: one first assistant as
SCISSOR. $1,000 increase Of 1900; one assist
ant assessor, $1,000; one chief clerk arrears
division. $1,000 (new): three clerks at 81 400
each, $4.2OO increase of one); four clerks at
$1.2OO each $4,S00: one license clerk, 81 300;
one inspector Of licenses, 81, 200; one drafts
man, 1.4OO Increase of 5000; four clerks
at $1,000 each, $4,000 increase Of one); one
clerk In charge of records, $1,000; three
clerks at $500 each. 81. 700: two clerks in ar
rears of taxes, $1,000 each. $1,000 (new)
one messenger. 5000 new; contingent ex-
penses. $500. Total, $50, 800.
In explanation CT his estimate of expenses
Mr.. Darneille said
In years past there has been a great
deal of complaint, and justly SO, from citi-
zen taxpayers on account of having to wait
at the office quite time before receiving
attention. occasioned by the lack of force
to attend to them, and the public generally
has awakened to the fact, as demonstrated
by the many offers from some of our most
highly esteemed citizens of help to get our
appropriation Increased, which would en-
able us to have office of which you can
be justly proud
In the first instance, l have recommend
ed an increase of S400 in the salary of my
first assistant assessor. The duties re-
quired of him are principally of execu-
tive character. combined with a general SUI
perViSion of the various details of the Of
nee entailing responsibility entirely incom-
mensurate with the compensation attached
to the position. In my absence, from sick
ness or any other cause, he has to assume
control OF the office, and l trust that this
Just recognition will be accorded.
The place desired to be created-chief
clerk, arrears division, at 81 ,500-is a long
felt want, and would be followed by very
good results.
In submitting my estimate I have left
out the board of assistant assessors. with
the nope that they may be carried into the
new estimates as separate establishment
winch they are-and are only our pay
roll, which, to my mind, is drawback to
getting the increases desired. by making
the total expenditures of this office very
large, when Sl0.SO0 of the amount is for "a
separate branch
The increase in the pay of craftsman is
urgently recommended. He is an accom-
pushed craftsman and performs his duties
In very satisfactory manner. The crea-
ton of a messengers place in this office is
very important The other new places re-
quested are necessity for a proper and
satisfactory performance of the arduous
duties of the office
