AT the last meeting of the coun-
ty commissioners the salary of the
county auditor was raised to $500
per annum, as the the statute pro-
vides it may be raised in couu-
ties having certain requirements as
to v~sluation and population. There
is no question but what the auditor
in this county has earned the increas-
ed salary for several years. All the
work of that Office has been done
with the help of only one clerk.
Most counties Of the size of Kings
bury have supported a deputy aud
clerk in the auditors office. La fact,
the entire machinery OF county gov
eminent 10 Kingsbury county has
been operated at the very minimum
expense. The raise in salary ls very
pleasing to our efficient and popu-
lar auditor, j. o. Purintun.
