EXPENSE RUNS
OVER ESTIMATES
PRIMARY A HARVEST FOR THE
JUDGES AND CLERKS.
City Attorney Sustains Controller
Rogers in His Contention that Those
who Served as Extra Judges and
Clerks Cannot Be Paid-Election
Cost $11O a Precinct.

It is roughly estimated that the pri-
mary election will cost the city about
$4,000, or close to $11O for each pre-
cinct. This is rather more than was
expected, as the judges put in more
time than was figured to be necessary.
More time was required, however,, as
the vote was heavier than ever before
longer Many Of the judges and clerks
were very dilatory.
Among election officers to receive
good slice Of pay are the inmates OF
the soldiers home who had charge OF
the pollingplace in the twelfth ward,
in which the home is located. They
managed to spend about sixty hours,
which will mean 1915 each for polling
the vote, and $3.50 for the remaining
forty-five hours which was occupied
supposedly in counting the vote. Yes,
terday afternoon returns were brought
in from the eleventh precinct OF the
fifth ward and the fifth and seventh
precincts Of the seventh ward: Inc ne
officers of these three precincts will

Hennepin county will reward the
election officials in the country dis

For this the judges in Minnerista are

judges and extra clerks, was according
to law, consulted the city attorney an(

and no matter how urgent the condi

and two clerks on primary election "a.
cannot be exceeded. About twelve dis
tricts ignored this provision, but tn
additional judges and clerks will hav
to be satisfied with glory instead o
money: ...

to be the most extreme case Of neglect
