roaded With Some Alacrity
After the County Bill.

When the House convened for the
afternoon session. the chapter on COM
pensation for officials in the County
bill was the first matter considered.
Hoogs wanted to fix all the salaries
for the officers instead Of leaving II to
the Board OF County Commissioners. as
arranged by the bill.
Emmeluth stated that the committee
had made an attempt to Ak the salaries
but that they had given up in disgust,
spending a whole evening on the sub
ject.
Aylett stated that they had fixed the
salaries, notwithstanding the state
ment made by Emmeluth. He sup
ported Mr.. Hogs. The section was de-
ferred and the chapter on Fees was
considered. -
The fee for a District Magistrate dur
ing a jury trial was left at 81 per diem.
His fee for marrying and making re-
turns was cut down from 50 to 81.
Gilfllan came in as they were con-
sidering the fees for the Register OF
Deeds and began to tip things. He
first called Dickey to o, der for calling
him Mister" instead OF 1.-THE Honor
able" Gillflan. Then he opened up on
the fees, stating that any corporation
owning one hundred lots could at least
afford more than SO for having them
recorded. Father Emmeluth surely
forgot that when he framed the bill
and moved that the owner be taxed 81
lot. His amendment was lost.
Glfllan then wanted to know what
plat was. and Hoogs told him 1t was
gondoIa. Archie gave up In disgust
He then called Robertson to order for
having his coat on in committee meet
ing and he was forced to remove the
Objectionable garment.

Makekau failed to agree with Gilfil
lan's computations.
Gilhllan stated that, II Makekat

should be rewarded with all the ju
rors' fees.
Makekau became quite warm ovel
the aspersions and quoted several ex
periences he had passed through with
out any trouble. The amendment wal
finally defeated.
The rest Of the bill was wadet
through without many amendments
considered.
The section relating to advertising
the proceedings Of the Board Of County
Commissioners was stricken out. Tn,
Salary chapter was then considered.
Chapter XIII, fixing the fees wa,
united with the chapter on salaries Sc
that but twelve chapters were made o
the act.

to the County were given to the OH
Gals.

to be bone of contention. The Hous,
