DEPUTIES LOOK TO SHERIFF

lie In to Pay Them and Long Standing
County Dispute is settled.
Under new arrangement made yester-
day with Sheriff Cousins by the Board Of
Supervisors his deputies will now have to
look to him instead of to the county for
their pay. The matter OF the deputies
salaries has been more or less bone Of
contention between Sheriff Cousins and the
board ever since the former was elected to
the office, but 1t is thought that the agree
ment entered into yesterday will now dis
pose of the matter satisfactorily to all con-
cerned. The law provides that the salaries
OF the sheriff and his deputies shall only
be paid provided the fees OF the office are
sufficient.
While the sheriff's office has earned about
fees sufficient to pay the salaries, all Of
these fees have not been collected and the
county has held that the fees collected and
not those earned must be sufficient to pay
the salaries before the auditor can draw a
warrant In favor OF the sheriff or any OF his
deputies. The county holding to this inter-
probation of the law has resulted In several
OF the deputies receiving no salary since
last July, except those who draw a per diem
as court bailiffs. In order to remedy this
state OF affairs Sheriff Cousins yesterday
submitted the following proposition to the
board:
In view OF the fact that the fees Of the
Office earned and collected. together with
the bailiffs' fees now allowed my deputies
do not amount to n sum sufficient In the
aggregate to pay the salaries OF this ONCE |
desire to submit to the board for its con-
sideration the following propositions
'1f the board will allow me the fees
earned in this ONCE during my term and
pay the bailiffs' salaries as is now done
will take the same In full consideration OF
and will pay all salaries now being paid
this office by the board, such amount OF
fees to be retained by me shall not exceed in
total amount the sum allowed by statute
| to be paid this office"
| The board accepted this proposition and
agreed to allow the sheriff to retain all fees
earned during his present term, provided
they did not exceed the amount now being
paid him and his deputies. In case the fees
exceed the salaries the sheriff is to turn
the balance over to the county. This ar
rangement has to receive the sanction OF
the deputies, 30 that they will waive any
future claim they might have on the county
Under the arrangement the sherlf Is to de-
posit with the county treasurer, after de-
| Quoting his own salary as allowed by law
all fees and then draw the amounts out on
warrant from the auditor. The deputies
signihed their willingness TO agree 10 the
arrangement, as they now see some pros
peet OF receiving their pay.
