For District Clerks

has happened. Annual leave of each has
been lessened by from two to four days
Reason assigned Is: BY act of Con-

skilled laborer. This year there are III
such employees, while last year there
were only 127 entitled to the leave. Con-
seCuently, those who had nine days
leave last year got only seven this year.

tent themselves with two or one.
