Commissioners Pay.

The law regulating the salary of the county
commissioners, re-enacted in 1899. reads as fol-
lows:
County commissioners of each county shall
receive the sum of six dollars $4,000 for each
day actually and necessarily engaged in trans
acting county business, not to exceed FIVE hun
bred dollars (S5oo.oo), for any year, and
FIVE cents .os) per mile for each mile neces-
sarly travelled in transacting county business,
when such travelling is over railroad line, and
fifteen cents (.Is) per mile in all other case
ProVided, No commissioner shall receive mile
age for travelling over any railroad line over
which he has pass"
This law was afterwards, on March 2, 1909,
amended, after the Supreme Court declared
that part of the law allowing salary to com
missioners not to exceed one thousand dollars
($I 900 oo) per annum unconstitutional, to
read as follows:
County commissioners of each county shall
receive the sum of six dollars $4,000 per day
for each day actually and necessarily engaged
in transacting county business, not to exceed
FIVE hundred dollars ($soo.oo), for any one
year, and all actual and necessary expenses in
