of assistants. as is shown further on.
Monaghan's salary Of $4,000 per year |
Is greater than that of any man en-
ployed In the public service of the State |
of Illinois. with the exception of the |
Governor himself.
But the people have to stand It.
Knopf and Lorimcr have SO willed It. |
Knopf's chief clerk in the County
Clerks Office gets $1,000 per year,
while the chief clerk In the big Record |
er's office only gets $500 per year, as
does also the chief clerk in the offices
of the Superior, Circuit, Probate and
Criminal Courts.
But Knopf doesn't care about saving
the peoples money, so his man gets
more than any of them.
A few years ago there was but one
marriage license clerk ut S1,5OO year.
Now there Is u chief marriage license
clerk ut Sl,SOO, and two assistants ut
$1,000 each.
This Is probably to help out in
Knopf's marriage bureau which is
connected with the license department.
Phil Knoprs payrolls eat up $22G,0iO
n year!
How is that for high?
When it is understood that three.
fourths of the men on them can be dis
pensed with. isn't II high time for the
County Board to interfere?
The County Clerks office itself has
payroll aggregating $1S1, 1876 per
annun.
The County Comptroller's" Office has
payroll aggregating $lG,S4O per
annum.
The "Clerk OF the County Court pay.
roll aggregates S2S,334 per annum.
Total drawn on pnyrOlls sworn to by
Phil KnOpf, S22G04O.
Reform Is necessary.
