COUNTY CLERKS OFFICE LOSES.
HARTZHEIM SAYS THAT FEES ARE 5000
LESS THAN SALARIES.

County Clerk Hartzheim of Kings County was
somewhat worried yesterday when he balanced up
his bank book and figured how much was due his
employees for salaries. When seen later he said:
From January to January is, inclusive the re
ceipts of this office from fees other than notaria
amounted TO only s. $50. This is about $500 a
month, or $4,000 year. The salaries OF the office
prescribed by law amount to 800. This If kept
up, would deficit of over $50 600. there
is other income properly credtable to the Office
except these fees. The notarial fees amount to
$4,000 in the of year. but they all go to
the State The stories about the great amount of
fees taken In by the County Clerk in year are
largely false.
The principal income of the County Clerk $
office formerly came from searches, which the
lawyers could tax because they official. The
title guarantee companies, which made speciality
OF these searchs, did them cheaper than office,
but the lawyers could not tax their searches
they not official. Therefore the lawyers had
the searches made In our Office. Recently the law
has been changed SO to allow the taxing Of
searches made by title guarantee companies and
hence all the searching business has left office

Thursday that ne would that the Civil
