The regular quarterly session OF the
board Of county commissioners will
begin Monday, July .. This will be
a very important session and much
business of interest TO the entire
county will be transacted. It Is at
this session that the board sits as a
board Of equalization. and the law
requires that they shall examine the
entire assessment roll, ''name by
name," and consider the "yaluation
of the property Of each taxpayer
assessed" and they shall raise or
lower the valuation. as they may think
justice and fairness demands.
Besides their work as board OF
equalization, they must define and
describe the boundaries Of the election
precincts, appoint registrars and
judges and distributing clerks of
election for the regular November
election. A law passed at the last
session OF the legislature will make 1t
necessary for the commissioners to
appoint two sets Of election officers In
all precincts where 100 votes or over
were cast for governor In 1898. The
precincts where two sets Of Officers
will be appointed are: Rathdrum,
Occur d'Alene. Harrison and B0nner's
Ferry. Besides naming the two sets
Of judges, the commissioners must
designate the set that shall count the
ballots. The section of the law re-
quiring this appointment reads:
''In every precinct where, At the
general election then next preceding,
there were more than 100 votes cast
for the ONCE Of governor, the board o:
county commissioners Of the county
wherein the same is situated, shall at
the time provided for the appoint
ment Of election officers, appoint two
sets Of such officers, and 10 making
such appointment shall designate
which set shall act under the provi-
visions Of this act. And such board
shall also make suitable provisions
for the carrying Of this act into
effect"
In addition to the registrar, distrib-
uting clerk and six judges who are
to he appointed by the commissioners,
there will be four tally clerks and two
cOnstables to be selected ON the
morning Of election.
The commissioners will also fix the
salary for the county attorney for the
coming term. Salaries of other
county officers were fixed at the April
session, but by constitutional amend
ment the salary OF county attorney
must be fixed at the July session.
